April 25, 2008 (De Je Vu)

I really enjoyed today. I did not go to work. I used my last personal day so that I could pick Michaela up from school. She had a half day at school today. This also meant that the kids and I did not have to get up quite so early and we did not have to leave the house until 8:00 am.

While Michaela was at school I did a lot of just nothing. I've now been introduced to Facebook and now understand the addictiveness of it. I played around on it and chatted on it way too long this morning. I did however manage to get bills paid. And, I went up to the park to get Caleb signed up for t-ball. Then, I enjoyed Arby's for lunch. I just love their roast beef.

After I picked Michaela up from school we went to Walmart. I got the weekly shopping accomplished and started buying her some summer clothes. She ended up coming home with three tops, a pair of shorts and a pair of capris. We stopped at Petsmart, too because that seems to be the only place that can keep the slim rawhide chew sticks in stock lately. I got two packages because Abby goes through them like crazy.

When we got home Michaela said she wanted to take a walk with our cameras. We went to the park instead. One of the parks close to our house has a garden trail that's just gorgeous. I've taken the kids there a few times to take pictures of them in late summer and early fall. In spring there's a lot of colors as things are beginning to bloom and bud, so we had a lot of fun photographing the spring colors. We went to another park across town that also has a garden area. But, they are more set up for actual flower garden stuff and nothing is growing there yet. The trees are blooming though. We enjoyed the time together very much.

By then it was time to go get Caleb from school so we headed that way. This has become a pain in the butt. They are reconstructing the main road that goes down to Caleb's school. You can drive on it coming back home, but the direction towards his school is closed. It's annoying, but hopefully it will be an improvement because that street was just horrible.

The kids played outside quite a bit tonight and Michael went to sleep early. I just kind of relaxed and worked on the pictures I took today. I've been watching "Ghost Whisperer" and "Moonlight" tonight. I enjoy those shows.
