Upstate Weekend....

This week we celebrated my nephew's 16th birthday. I can't believe it. He's 16 years old. Time flies so fast. I still remember him running with a sword down the back of his shirt to the backyard to play with his friends.

This past weekend, we headed upstate for our annual get post Christmas get together with my brother, sisters and friends. Unfortunately, my brother and family could not make it because he was really sick.

We left on Friday evening to head up to the Catskills along with every other skier/vacationer heading out for the long weekend. It was kind of funny because I had my son in his PJs thinking I would move him from the car to the bed when we get to the house. We made a pit stop and it was funny because there were all these other kids all in their PJs as well.

When we get there, my son was wide awake especially when he noticed my nephew playing with the Wii. My son had to get his controller to play. We were up til 4AM watching the men and boys playing.

My husband, his friend, my brother in law and my nephew spent all day Saturday playing paintball in the backyard ( 7 acre backyard). They were out there for a long time in the cold. I made sure he was very well bundled because it was COLD up there in the Catskills.

I went out for a bit on Saturday and then I spent it in the house working on my knitting. We had lots of fun just lounging. It was cool to see that my sister was finally showing some pregnancy belly. I was worried a bit. Next year is going to be crazy with two new babies and a toddler. I can't wait!!!!

Well, I'm off to bed. It's getting late and I've got to head out early in case my son gives me any grief when I drop him off at school. Lately, he's pretty attached to me.
