Yesterday was the first day of Kindergarten, and it was quite a day.
No one's behavior warranted a lollipop at Charlie's swim lesson, which was a disappointment--though not unexpected by the troops.
Some days everything feels like a battle. It's unfortunate when those are also the days that your throat hurts, you're wheezing, and you have a cracked rib from coughing so much.
I remember sick days before I had kids. It was amazing.
You could be sick all day long and just do nothing.
I didn't take many of them back when I worked full time, but I sure wish I could have appreciated them more.
But I digress.
We visited Daniel at work. That was a treat because we'd never been to his Fairchild office since they moved to Richardson.
The kids could see all kinds of construction vehicles, cars, and even a train from the kitchen windows. Quite a treat.
We inherited a hermit crab two days ago.
The kids are very interested in him, though they haven't settled on a name yet. The girl who gave him to us -- she lives down the street.
I made it clear that I cannot guarantee any great longevity for him, and she said that was fine.
We'll just do our best. But my track record with plants is not good.
Lucy just informed me, "the bug is asleep." Time for a little taxonomy lesson.
