Something's not right

I thought we were supposed to need less sleep the older we got.  Someone needs to tell my body that...it seems like it missed that memo.

Still working on my paper

I finally finished a significant part of it today - now I'm just waiting on the professor to review it.  Just one week left.

Marathon Kids

The kids finished their marathons today.  And to think it only took them a few months to do it in.  They had a lot of fun today going down and finishing their last mile, getting the medals, etc.

Had a great date night with Jane

We started out by dropping the kids off at church for a few hours.  They had fun there, while we went out for a nice dinner.  Sushi.

70+ year old coins

It always amazes me somewhat when I find coins this old still floating around in circulation.  Kind of makes me wonder what things will be like in another 70 years.  I'm betting the nickel won't be around...

It's like there are people out there pulling them from circulation or something :)

Clarissa lost another tooth

Poor thing.  She screamed and screamed before I pulled it - but once it was out she decided it didn't hurt so bad after all.  Of course, now she's all excited about getting some "gold" money from the Tooth Fairy.

Good time with Samuel at school

Samuel had a book-signing for a book that he wrote a school today.  All the third-graders wrote their own book, and the school had a company bind them all.  My son - the author.

Gotta love $5 subs

The kids and I decided on Subway tonight while Jane got together with her friends for quilting.  I'm still amazed that Samuel can eat a foot-long sub almost as fast as I can.

Spent a nice quiet evening at home with my honey and kids.  Doesn't get much better than that.

Rough Draft Complete

I put it off for too long - and had to scramble to get it done today.  One 15-20 page paper left for this class.  Two more classes after that.  And then I'm done.

Dinner out with the family

We all had a great time at the Olive Garden tonight.  I had no idea Clarissa could eat so much spaghetti.  I know it's her favorite meal and all...but, oh my.

After having the last three days off, the kids get to go back to school tomorrow.  I'm not sure they're real excited about it though :)
