January 1, 2008 in the Gottsch house... 1/366

Happy New Year!
I woke up (admittedly around 11:30am!) to a disaster area in my house. It had been building for a couple of days, but the kids took full advantage of my sleeping in (I was up till about 3am - and no, I wasn't partying, I just can't sleep when Robb isn't home!). So to ring in the new year we CLEANED! WooHoo! I got the tree down and the kids picked up all their things, cleaned their rooms and vacuumed!

A great reason for procreation...

So here are a few pictures from our first day of the new year!

It smells good in our house =)


Just how do you store the Christmas lights so they don't get broken or tangled??


I need to get organized... my desk is scary.


I actually cooked a hot meal for lunch!


Ben, however, was not impressed... (BTW everyone else loved it enough for seconds! Looks are deceiving!)


Today was the first day for allowance payout! After a month of being on the quarter system the payouts were as follows:
Peter = $9.75
Ben = $6.00
Noah = $8.25
Elle = $8.75
(they start the month w/ $10 in quarters and I have taken them away if there is disobedience, disrespect and lying)



I hope you enjoyed our day in review - I am going to attempt to post at least one photo per day so let's see if we get in 366 posts for 2008!
