2. Now, technically the week is not over yet, I have to make it through today, which involves a work dinner with Husband and the 14 other people+spouses from his department. This dinner has been incredibly drama filled on the planning level and the 2 things I was looking forward to ordering are off the table as Husband's boss pre-ordered everyone's salads and desserts because it's a group of 16. (It is not the lobster bisque and bananas foster flamed table side that I was hoping for.) But lest you think I am ungrateful for a free dinner out at an expensive place, I am not, I just wanted it to be on February 21 because now I can't see the Opening Ceremonies. (Don't worry, I am staying up LATE and watching the rerun.)
3. Did you all watch the Olympics last night? First of all, my knees hurt just watching the Moguls. Seriously. And how sad it is for that American who injured herself badly and the only thing she asked her parents was "Can I still be called an Olympian?" Oh it broke my heart.
4. Second of all who thinks that Evgeni Plushenko

| He's the Russian figure skater if you weren't sure |

| That's William Zabka's character in The Karate Kid if you weren't sure. |
5. Sometimes I let C watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates because it's just so cute when he sings along with the songs. It's his favorite. When my parents were here last weekend they supplemented his pirate ship Duplo set he got for Christmas and now he has the whole Jake set. It is the best thing ever.
6. I've got to clean today and write up an instruction sheet for the babysitter. (Husband's uncle.) I'm sure it'll be fine but I still want to make it as smooth as possible. We don't get out much.
7. Yesterday was Ronald Reagan's 103 birthday. We celebrated it in our "social studies" class yesterday. We sang "Happy Birthday" and then we pointed to Ronald Reagan a few times on our Presidents of the USA place mat. C can find him by face now. (One side has them in order the other side they're all jumbled up.) We also practiced saying "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" Which pretty much consisted of saying "wall" but hey I'll go with it.
C was also able to Skype with his uncle and show off his Ronald Reagan skills. My brother is a pretty big Ronald Reagan fan. Both my brothers like government and politics and things like that so we work on social studies a lot with C. He can also find George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. (And we do "I cannot tell a lie" and "Four score and seven years ago" respectively.)
Have a great weekend friends.
I hope your dinner went well after a long week. I hear ya, these winter weeks are gonna kill me. Like none before have I so longed for the mud of spring.
ReplyDeleteMy big kids are totally getting into the Olympics and are amazed at all these athletes can do. I watch but get so nervous for these crazy stunt people and can barely watch more than 10 mins. We did watch the Opening Ceremony and my kids had so much fun trying to figure out how these teen, tiny unknown places had athletes in the Olympics. Oh, and laughing at some of those team outfits. Interesting, for sure.
Way to go on your social studies and President memorization with C. I would've loved to hear the Gorbachev line :) Too funny.
Have a great weekend!
