It's Saturday and Michael did not go to work today. He went to the woodworking show with his dad and Griff. They left a little after 9:00 am and Michael was home by 4:00 pm. It seems like they had a good time. He didn't spend any money, though. Which is good.

The kids and I went to the bank, dropped off a game at Blockbuster, did necessity shopping at Walmart, and went to Sam's and bought a Wii game there. Then, we grabbed some lunch and came home.

After we ate, we did some stuff around the house. Michaela and Caleb cleaned the bathroom while I got laundry started. I also cleaned up the kitchen. Then, it was time to take Michaela to get her hair cut. She needed her bangs cut desperately. She also had a little trimmed off the ends. They washed her hair, too, which she loves.

When we came home the kids finished their chores. I did some more laundry and then went downstairs to work on Thank You notes. I needed to get those done since it's been a week since Caleb's party. I actually made each one myself from my scrap booking supplies. Every one of them is different so each person is getting a custom thank you note.

I stopped after about 5 of them so we could go eat. We went to Pasta House to eat tonight. It tasted so good. I love pasta. I shouldn't eat so much of it I know but it is one of my favorite things.

We were going to go to the Sprint store because Michael needs a new phone. They were very busy, though. They only had three reps working and the lady at the door said it would be 9:00 pm before someone would be able to get to us. We'll go back later. I swear every time we go there it's a horrendous wait. She tried to get us to make a reservation for tomorrow, but Michaela's girl scout thing is tomorrow. Michael was not happy, but he insists on staying with Sprint, so he'll have to deal with it.

So, we came home. The kids hung out around the house. Caleb was watching the hockey game with Michael. Michaela was watching television in her room. I was downstairs working on the thank you cards. The kids went to bed at 8:00. I thought it was 9:00 at the time. I did not realize it was 8:00 until at 9:00 when Law & Order came on instead of the news. This means they'll be up early.

I finished up the thank you cards and got everything down stairs cleaned up by 9:30 p.m. I'm very happy with how they all turned out. It's now getting close to 11:00 and I'm the only one still awake in the house. So, I guess it's off to the shower and then to bed.
