Date Night

Cool Daddy-O and I went out on a "date" tonight. It was actually our Valentine's Date, but due to illness we had to postpone it til this weekend. We ate at one of our favorite restaurants in town and both had fish...I had catfish (yummy) and my date had the cod. We then went to our local coffee house for dessert and a game of Scrabble. Wish I would have had my camera to photograph the board. We both had lots of consonants early in the game and we had some cool words, but then the vowels started showing up in bulk and it became harder and harder. Cool Daddy-0 won. It was a bit hard to concentrate on the game though, as most of the other customers were 7th and 8th graders and the hormone level in the place was sky high. The girls had fun with their sitter tonight and played games like Cariboo, Go Fish, and Sorry. They're in bed now. Cool Daddy-O rented a few movies to watch tonight and tomorrow night.

Little Squirt is looking forward to seeing grandma tomorrow. She's prepared to keep her eyes open in hopes of getting her fingernails painted by grandma. It's also time to trace shamrocks to hang in their room. I took down the red hearts today.

We made some plumbing improvements in the laundry department today. We installed special hoses that will keep water from spraying everywhere if there is a malfunction some day.

Daddy-O and the girls went to the fun place today since there was no school. They ate lunch at Subway. They've decided that the only pizza better than homemade comes from Subway. The girls enjoyed their fun with daddy and I enjoyed staying home and dusting, vacuuming, throwing stuff away, and sorting all the Kindergarten and preschool papers and putting them in the Squirts' memory boxes.

Other news...for the rest of the school year, the school day will start 10 minutes earlier and end 15 minutes later than usual. This will add enough time that it will equate making up 4 snow days. Sounds like they want school to end the first week of June. I think that's a pretty good idea. We'll have to get up earlier, but we'll manage. Not sure what they'll do if we have some more snow days. March can be really nasty in Iowa sometimes. Only 3 more weeks til spring. I can't wait!
