B took K and W to the store while I stayed home to clean a bit. J wanted to stay home too, and practice her dance solo. P gave us a copy of the CD for her to practice with. And boy is she practicing. She must have went over it 100 times since Friday. She's only learned 1/3 of it so far (50 seconds out of 2 1/2 minutes). Thank goodness for a nice open dining room floor.

While B watched the Jets game and K hung out in her room, I took J and W to play in the backyard. The neighbor kid was out there, too. They played with his dog, Susie, drew with chalk on the pavement, rode bikes, scooters, skateboard, played baseball, pogo-sticked, and wet some dirt to play with (dumptrucks and all). It got so cold after a while, but none of the kids wanted their jackets. Am I getting old or what?

I was thinking how great it would be if dh's aunt moved out and we got her apartment, too. It would double our space and be so perfect. Our house would turn into 4 bedrooms, bathroom, and playroom on the 2nd floor and a huge eat-in kitchen, dining room, bathroom, living room, and outside patio overlooking backyard on the first floor. How cool would that be?!?! Oh well, I know it's only a dream.
