The Most Boring New Year's Eve Ever

Yep, December 31, 2007 will go down in the history books as the most boring New Year's Eve ever! We actually motivated the boys to get their work/stuff done by 3 p.m. We bribed them with a late lunch/early dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. We made it to Sweet Tomatoes 5 minutes before the lunch pricing ended. Jonathan ate his usual 1/2 kids tray of plain pasta, 8 pieces of pizza, and 2 huge bowls of mac and cheese (how/why he loves that stuff, I just don't know). Anyway, after lunch/dinner (lunner?) we went home for a couple of hours. Around 7 p.m., Dan announced it was time to go see his parents. Whatever. So we went. We got there and Parley and Bona were watching the "Live from Lincoln Center" broadcast of the New York Philharmonic with Joshua Bell as the violinist. We sat there in relative silence until 9 p.m. When the concert ended, we went home. What a visit. We got home and had a Mario Kart Double Dash 4 player All Cup Tournament. I'm proud to say that I came in second once and third place 15 times! Dan won one race and came in last 15 times. Jonathan was the family champion by 1 first place victory over Nolan. This, of course, enraged Nolan who took the Poor Sport title as the threw a lovely tantrum. After the tournament, we finished watching Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (it only took us 3 nights to watch the movie). After the move, there was still more than 20 minutes until midnight. I fell asleep. I was woken up. We watched the ball drop. By 12:02 a.m., Dan, Nolan and I were in bed Jonathan went outside to "run around". He also filled his collection of 20 ounce soda bottles with water and jumped up and down flinging the water out of the bottles. He was back inside by 12:05 a.m. and in bed shortly thereafter. And that was New Year's Eve.
