2017

We actually made it to midnight, which hasn't happened in a long time. The kids were too busy trying to download their games onto their video game consoles with Scott, and I think I was being lazy on the couch, almost falling asleep.Once midnight tolled, I hopped off to bed and let everyone else deprive themselves of sleep for a bit longer.

But anyway. The new year is here, so here's to new beginnings, new adventures, and new experiences!

Funny side note: the only reason why the kids were up late downloading their games is because apparently our internet provider runs on eastern time and replenished our monthly data usage. The kids were close to depleting December's allowance because of video games they got for Christmas that needed to be downloaded, and so Scott had restricted them to a certain amount per day until January 1st rolled around. I shouldn't laugh, but it was very amusing to watch the kids try to limit their Internet access and decide what was necessary and what wasn't. But, imagine the kids' delight when we discovered the data was there after 10pm last night.

It was like Christmas all over again.

Hopefully, this will teach them to use their time more wisely.
