Sunday: warm weather

After a cool morning, it got very nice out.  Ben went out to eFoil


The boys and I biked to Lowes for some paint cards.  It was a short but lovely bike ride.

I tried to make a focaccia tonight.  It was more of a thick flat-bread.  It was edible, because warm bread is edible, but we probably won't finish it.

Friday: under the sink

 I was cleaning yesterday and found another cat under the sink. Hahaha.

Thursday: excel

 One of the assignments in my class is to do something with a picture.  (There's more to the assignment to make it worthwhile.)  Anyway, it's fun to see what the students come up with.  Some put a lot of time into it, some put the bare minimum.  This one is actually a bit in the middle but the first one I've seen with a title.

Wednesday: errands

I got a lot of errands completed today.  I didn't get much else done, but oh well.

It started at the dentist.  It was an ok appointment, other than I had a "large gag" reflex.  I'm going to be honest, it felt like a normal gag reflex.  When you stick something large in my mouth and all the way to the back we should be happy I only gag twice.  Also, the fact that you can't get a picture of the root of one in the middle back doesn't seem like my fault.  Anyway, it is done for six months.

It turned out that I only had 11 items to get at the grocery store, so I had enough time to get groceries.  I give myself a gold medal.  I came in just under $100.

I got gas.  It was the first time I've had to wait for gas in quite a while, but I usually don't try to get it at 11:30.

I had lunch with a friend.

I stopped by the library.

I finally got home and took my nap.  There were a bunch of friends waiting for me.  I had a bit more time to do some chores, but I really didn't get much done before I had to pick up the kids.


Between dropping off the kids at church in the evening and karate I also stopped at GFS, just to round out the errands.

Tuesday: Middle School Move up

Tonight we had middle school move up night.  Joshua had his first band concert.  There's a chance it will be his last too...he's having a hard time deciding between Spanish and band next year.


After the concert Joshua elected to go around to all the stations by himself and get his card stamped.  I felt a little bad for not joining him, but he wanted to go by himself and I have a good idea of what will happen next year since Joshua is the second child.

Periodically: rocks in the house

Periodically we have rocks in the house.  They don't talk, but they do move a little bit and they can often follow simple instructions.

The frequency that these rocks show up has gone down a bit in the last few years, but it also happens more than I would expect.

Saturday: storms

We've had a lot of storms recently and Horizon doesn't like them.  He usually hides behind a toilet.  Last night we found him under the sink, but he did seem rather relaxed there when I checked on him.


We also had Lego group tonight, although I'm not sure much was done with Legos tonight.  The kids played outside quite a bit on the trampoline and ghost in the graveyard and the food was delicious.  It was just a really nice night.
