This SHOULD be the video I took of Sam reading the story he wrote in front of his class and their parents at Writer's Tea.

All worth it
This morning, PBS kids had some commercial on it with a girl (circa 1995) saying that her picture of her dad was special because she only sees him on the weekend. Sam says, "that's how we used to be!"
Later, I was in the car with Kate and she said, "we're like one of those other families where the Dad comes home, like, all the time!"
I told Stuart both of these and he said, "I guess that makes this all worth it."

Birthday girl (not yet)
We had people over for the first time last night. Just a friend from football and 2 of her kids. Stu said it was more of a glorified play date, but it was fun to show off the house and really made it feel ours for some reason.
Anyway, around dinner time, Kate's new friend from up the street, Leilani, brought over an invitation for her birthday party and we passed off Kate's at the same time. I didn't open it until our friends left, which was when I discovered that the party was today at 11 am. Before you panic, the mom made a note that said "sorry for the late notice." Yeah, you're not kidding.
So, being the prepared and eager mom I am, we wrapped the one girl gift in the closet, went to early church, and made to the party with time to spare. I didn't feel great about the gift, but Stu said it would be fine and it was. Best yet, Kate had a great time with her new friend and several other kindergartners from Sam's school. See my crazy woman hanging out with her friend!

The 21st Century!
Yesterday, I was the proud recipient of a new iPhone 4s. For those of you who remember my many complaints about my sad, dysfunctional android phone, you will appreciate the justification as given by my husband: "I was just tired of hearing you complain about the old one." (That was the idea!)
So, I'm breaking it in. We went to a birthday party and I was one of the iPhone crowd. I fit in! Well, sort of. I'm also the only one who was sporting a sunburn from yesterday's one hour football game.
Best find of the night: a blogger app! Now I can blog when things happen, instead of having to wait to get to a computer. So exciting!
It feels good to be in the early- adopter camp again. At least with this version.
