Sunday Afternoon

It was a cold, rainy Sunday afternoon. I didn't step outside all day. Not even to get the paper, Debbie did that.

We watched The Polar Express. Seth was totally absorbed. I think he enjoyed it, but didn't really get the message, which is not surprising because he's 4 ya know. He just thinks it's a movie about a pretty cool train.

If you haven't seen it, I would say it's worth a try if you're looking for something fun and Christmasy.

Reality Check

Every now and then I get a little reality check. Today I realized that I graduated from high school before some of the people that I work with were born. I suppose I already knew that at some level, but today it actually came up in conversation.

Colds

Well, I think Seth and I both have a cold. He got it first and and now I seem to have it. So far Debbie and Sara seem to be fine. Seth has a couple more days to go. I probably have the whole week.

"Treat a cold and you will be better in seven days. Leave a cold along and it will last a week."

The Kids at Hurricane Ridge

Fixed a Flat

When I got home tonight I found out that I had to fix a flat tire. A bike tire. Seth apparently ran over a thorn or something and punctured his back tire. Luckily I have a patch kit and bike tools handy. The tire is now holding air. The boy is back on the road.

Good Weekend

I really enjoyed my birthday weekend. On Friday we took the kids to the Air and Space museum at Dulles. That was a lot of fun. Seth really enjoyed it. I did too.

Yesterday I felt like I had a nice, long day at home. It's so rare to have a weekend day that didn't fly by so fast that it was gone before it started. Yesterday really had a great pace. I felt like I had time to do everything that I wanted to do as well as what I needed to do.

Early Saturday

Seth and I have been up since 6:30. He was ready for breakfast.

We had a good time trick-or-treating last evening. He just decided to count how many candies he got. I think he did pretty well.
