We enrolled Liam for kinder today and I must admit I got a little weepy when we walked in the front doors...the library, the front office...it was just too much! After a lot of blinking I regained my composure. Am I a dork, or what?!

The.funniest.thing.happened at our house today. It might be one of those "had to be there" type of things, but I will try to do it justice. I made the boys cheesy crescent rolls for lunch today. Colm was eating his and then put some of it under his plate as if to make it disappear. He then lifted up his plate and said, "tah dah" to show me it had disappeared. When he lifted up his plate, however, the crescent roll was gone. The look on his face was so funny I nearly cried. It took him a few seconds to realize that he had not performed a magic trick, but the crescent roll was stuck to the bottom of his plate.

First we went to the Under the Sea exhibit which we were so excited about, but it turned out to be kind of a bust...not much to do, Colm pinched his finger pretty badly in one of the exhibits and about ten minutes after we got there an entire daycare center showed up. So we left and went upstairs to play in the toy store for a while before eating at Fritz's.

We went to a Valentine Party at church this weekend. The boys had a great time. We started out by eating some treats. We then moved on to icing some cookies (there's nothing like a sugar rush at 10a.m.) then on to some arts and crafts. The last thing we did was play musical chairs. Liam knew how to play and it didn't take Colm long to figure it out.

As many of you know I was planning on graduating in August. Well, it's not going to happen. I had to drop a class today. There are only so many hours in the day and I just couldn't make it work. I was going to need to meet with a student twice a week for this class, plus I am already working with another student for another class that I will be meeting with once a week, plus I go to class once a week, plus we are putting our house on the market, plus we are building a house, plus Colm is having surgery sometime this month, plus Sean is going to be out of town for a large chunk of February, plus I have to take a comprehensive exam in April over all of my studies thus far. I am only one person.

There have been many books written and many movies made about the social structure of girls and how there are leaders, followers, and for lack of a better word-victims. The bottom line is that girls can be ugly. I usually think of girls in junior high or high school. Today Liam came home from preschool and told me that Morgan is the leader of the girls. He told me this because Morgan wasn't there today and he said that the other girls didn't know what to do since she wasn't there. He said they just kept going around in circles. I am not sure what he meant by that and I can't decide if it is sad or just interesting.

Just doing a role call. Leave a comment with your name so I know who is reading. I love to hear your comments...it's like getting mail and I LOVE getting mail.
