I don't even know what to write about anymore. Things just seem so normal, everyday and boring - I feel like I'll put everyone to sleep. But I guess I'll try anyway.
So today is Wednesday... that means the boys get out of school at 12:05 - their favorite day of the school week. I go out for breakfast every Wednesday with my friends. Today we are going to the Wildflower Bread Company - my favorite place to go. I love their vegetable frittata and the honey ham & brie frittata - those are the best!!!!
After school today we need to go shopping for some supplies to make Randy's "Learning Fair" project. (I was too lazy to go yesterday and besides, I had already gone to the store yesterday while Randy was in school! I hate going to the store twice in one day!) He has chosen The White House as his focus, to research and make a model of.... this should be interesting!
Keith's "Learning Fair" project is on Lemurs - his class is studying the rainforest, so he had to choose an animal to research and make a model of. Yesterday Keith stayed home from school - he didn't feel well. His throat hurt and he had a slight fever -- yeah, he was fine, but he stayed home anyway and we did most of the work on his project and his clay lemur is finished along with the research. Now he just has to write up the report or use a brochure format or make a poster --- yes, he is in first grade (brochure format --- what the heck???).
Tomorrow is Fine Arts Night at school. Various art projects will be displayed and Randy's is one of them! Can't wait to go see it!
This past weekend we were supposed to go camping -- ha! That really didn't turn out as planned. Friday Jeff was going to leave work early and we were going to head up to Beaver Creek Campground. On Thursday, there was a major computer disaster at Jeff's work. So that put a damper on everything. I held off on cancelling the dog sitter, because I hoped that everything might get fixed up on Friday. Pretty much all day Friday I was talking back and forth with Jeff and my friends, who were going camping with us. I should have known that it wasn't meant to work out for us! Michele was smart enough to call the campground and found out that it was already full (they don't take any reservations) and so we looked into going somewhere else. I cancelled the dog sitter because at this point it seemed like Jeff wasn't going, so he'd be home with the dogs if I decided to go with the boys on Saturday. Well, some miracle happened at work, where all wasn't completely lost, like it could very well have been. We decided to go camping really close to home and Jeff was going to go too. We had all planned to go on Saturday morning, but when Jeff got home, he decided that he didn't want to go for just one night. So now, what about the dogs? We took them with us. We got to the White Tanks, Friday night, it was already dark - we paid our money to get in -- there was no one around... so we drove in a bit and picked a spot and set up our stuff. Three hours later - it's almost 10:30pm at this point - the park ranger comes and tells us that we can't camp where we are!!!!!!!!!!!!! The boys were already in the tent (supposedly sleeping, but they weren't) and we had the dogs and we had a lot of our stuff set up. So they let us stay there, but told us that we'd have to move in the morning. So after we disassembled everything and put it all back on the trailer, the thought of doing it all over again, was not appealing. So we had the fastest, crappiest camping trip ever!!!! The next one will be much better! Damn it!
Sunday we stayed home and had a very nice day. We rented The Day the Earth Stood Still and Bolt. We hung out, ate, drank and were merry. Jeff worked on some computer things for work. Keith went to Mama & Papa's - then they stopped by when they dropped him off. It was a relaxing day for the most part. How can TV and food be bad?
In the past couple of weeks I've read four books by Elin Hilderbrand.... The Blue Bistro, Nantucket Nights, The Love Season and Barefoot. They were all pretty good. Each story is set in Nantucket and makes me want to go back there!!!!!! The books do tell good stories - I couldn't wait to find out what happened in each one! You should read them!
Summer will be here before we know it! The boys' last day of school is June 2nd. We may be going to New Jersey sometime in June. It is still up in the air at this point. The boys would love to go to Disneyland one os these days. Randy has only been asking to go there for the past four years - poor kid. We'll make it there at some point! I'm going to try to figure out some fun stuff to do over the summer. If you have any ideas for us, pass them along. :)

Go to Idaho. I hear it's really pretty there this time of year. You might even find some cheap lodging as well.
