Another year just flew by. Like a bottle of fine champagne, I savored every bit…but I can’t say I sipped it…nope, just drank it all down and loved every minute. That’s how fast a year can go...
So what are you doing for New Years? That’s always the question. Then there’s the pressure…to host a good party, find a good party, or better yet, crash a good party. For years now we haven’t planned ahead for New Years Eve…you see… it's all about the kids. What are the kid’s plans? Do their plans include 45 underage kids, our house, and our beer? So being the responsible parents that we claim to be, we have to keep an eye out for what could happen…back at the ranch. So we play the wait game.
The wait game is simple…kids vs parents. Who can wait the longest without making a plan? The only problem is the kids are the masters of this game. We really have no hope of winning. If you zig first…they will definitely zag. When we ask, “What’s the plan?” We get, “Chill…I’m working on one. Probably a party in someone’s basement.” Then we are left wondering… “hmm, is that code for…rager in our basement.
The only comforting thing about the wait game is …our friends are playing the same game with their kids. New Years Eve is today and 2008 is coming in a matter of hours. The kid’s plans are still fluid…kind of like beer flowing from a keg through a funnel…wait…that is exactly what we are afraid of…
Happy New Year to my wonderful family and friends. Have a gr8 2008. Peace OUT

I'm getting the biggest kick out of your blogs - they're hilarious and quite clever, I might add. It's fun getting to know more about your family thru the stories of Colin and the girls. I loved the one about finding Colin in the backseat of your car on your "night out" with friends. Keep 'em comin' Kat! Janet
