bad:
-I was only able to take one day off last week to have "spring break" with the boys
good:
-They did fun stuff as usual with their babysitter, so I'm the only one who feels like I missed out. Bonus- today when Henry went back to school, Tommy said "oh, but now I have to go to L's by myself." He really likes having his brother with him.
bad:
-The day I did take off was rainy and cool, so we went to the science center rather than the zoo.
-Also, every other family in the state went to the science center that day.
good:
-The boys were amazingly patient when we had to wait in all those lines.
-We still got to go to the zoo, on Saturday.
bad:-At the science center Henry was obsessing about something or another and tugging on my hand throughout the "Goosebumps" exhibit- the one Tommy was really interested in. I feel like we scooted out of there and Tommy got short-changed.
good:
-Tommy recited every word I had told him about the exhibit after we got home. He was really paying attention and really into it.
-We watched the 3D "extreme screen" movie and it was super cool.
bad:
-Pajama pants worn at the zoo don't block the cold breeze very well and may induce much whining and complaining in their 4-year-old wearer.
good:
-Binoculars can make you forget your cold legs.
-Tommy loved pretending he was a scientist, studying animals with his binoculars. L takes them to programs at the metroparks, so he has learned that "scat" is the scientists' word for "poop" and that it can be studied. Every 4-year-old boy should know this.
bad:
-Tommy fell asleep on the way home from the zoo (at 5:30) and didn't wake up until 5:30 the next morning.
-He was not awake to appreciate the face painting we got right before we left, and instead left much of the paint on his pillow and then my pillow.
good:
-Because he was asleep so early, it was easier for me to talk to my high school friend who called that night.

Funny; we had planned to go to the science center on Saturday, too. But, Conor was in rare form so it didn't happen.
Sorry to hear about Kate. I'm still keeping all of you in my prayers: protection for Kate, peace and wisdom for mom & dad.
:-(
K.C. loves wearing his pajama bottoms as well.
Tommy loves Henry, it's awesome that they are friends as well as brothers.
Your boys are beautiful!
I wish you had more good on your list. But the good that you did share, is really good. Tommy and Henry hanging out at L's all week, so awesome. Waiting in lines, Wow! This is a real tough one for us.
And I am so happy that you were able to talk with your friend on the phone.
Still praying for Kate. Hang in there. I am happy that you and Bill have each other to go through this with.
Heartbreaking about Kate----hang in, thinking of her and you.
Charlie insists on not wearing PJs to school---sometimes they have wear your PJs days and he insists on his clothes!
