Last week, for the first time in many weeks, I managed to post on-the-daily. For some reason, I thought as the children grew and became more independent there would be more time, but the inverse appears to be true, particularly with the youngest member of the household.
Have I mentioned that William George has earned the moniker "Prince George"?
At any rate, last year's publishing rate was the lowest since my employment outside of the home so I am redoubling my efforts as a magician to find more time in the day. Let's take a stab at two weeks of daily publishing, yes?
Speaking of George, we have attempted to dial back the car dvd viewing, following the watching of many Christmas movies in the car throughout November and December. We have made the move to music, and George has been requesting Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt, from which we have an ongoing debate about the best song on the album. He prefers "Getaway," while I think the title track is superior. We debated the merits of both while commuting Friday. First, we picked up Gracie at 11:00 after receiving an email from her teacher indicating that Gracie was not feeling well, and then we picked up Lauren when school dismissed at 1pm due to impending (and non-sticking) snow. The trio watched the snow fall and then enjoyed a "Jessie" marathon.
Saturday Team Starzz had a game, and they won! Gracie had several impressive assists and was a defensive force. Lauren was also strong on defense (a little too strong, as she was called for elbowing), and scored a basket from the free throw line. The game was so good that when the final buzzer sounded it took a second for me to realize it was over.
After church on Sunday, the trio went to visit Skip's parents, and we had a nice lunch and ran some errands. We also finally saw Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and caught the latest episode of Downton Abbey. I'll let you decide who made those selections.
Hint: Skip didn't pick Downton.
