Homeschoolers: How did you spend your New Years Eve?

Question

We watched a bunch of Twilight Zone episodes, played a VERY long game of Risk, ate corned beef and cabbage and black-eyed peas for "good luck."

Answer 1

My girls set up a party with snacks and games, the boys grilled out chicken and veggies. We played MarioKart on the gamecube, guitar hero III on the wii, watched The Simpsons Movie, played Dicecapades and Would You Rather with the older kids, Candyland and Chutes and Ladders with the younger kids, played charades, had livestreaming news from Australia and London for New Years countdowns. Then at midnight central standard time, we went outside, set off fireworks, came in and toasted the new year with sparking grape juice.

Then we played GHIII for another hour and then shut it down since we had a new years party today with all of our friends. (What?! Homeschoolers have friends?! bwahahaha) They just all left so we're preparing dinner and I'm checking emails.

We watched the Law and Order marathon on TV.

Answer 7

For two days running New Years Eve, and on  New Years day, home school families, and their friends got together with their children; from babies to young adults, and their children's friends for potlucks, games, and lots of fun.

Answer 8

I was stuck away from my friends, but I was with my immediate family, aunt and uncle, and my cousin and his wife. They got married in October and are really adorable, always snuggling.

We argued about politics (what with my username and everyone else being a socialist, it was pretty fun even though I thought I was going to bite my tongue off a few times) until 11:58, then headed in to the living room to watch the ball drop in Times Square. I don't know why anyone would want to be there, but I don't understand a lot of things :P. Anyway, all the married people kissed exactly when the ball went down. I spent about 15 minutes being lonely and thinking about my boyfriend -we've been together for over a year, and I haven't seen him in two weeks- but then I got a call from him, so I cheered up a lot. Went back to my family, and we booed all of the New Years concerts.

At about 2 AM we decided to try and watch the Hitchcock movies my mom got for Christmas, but since everyone was kind of hammered and the audio quality sucked, we ended up making fun of it until we all fell asleep.

Good times.

Answer 9

We've been moving and my bad back is out because of it so we just kind of zoned out last night.

I took a nap because we were moving all weekend and I was exhausted; the kids played video games and with play dough. We watched a mythbuster marathon when I woke up, the kids went to bed early, I got on the pc and did some writing.



A very uneventful holiday when moving is involved.

Answer 11

Our son spent night at neighbor's house with several friends. (OH MY WORD! I just realized that I actually let him SOCIALIZE with public school kids! Gasp! I hope they didn't do anything that wasn't religious!)(smile)

My husband was working on our major reconstruction of living room.
