Books, Dinner, a Game & a Movie

What a great date--with Scout. While DH and PinkOne headed on their date to see a friend in a school play, Scout offered to take me to dinner. (He wanted Thai food really badly! lol) So we headed to town, stopped in at the new used book store (I bought a book for each of us) and had Thai food for dinner. Yes, he paid for dinner. He was so proud of himself! Scout is doing an awesome job of saving his money and he gets great pleasure in spending a little bit of it now and then.
After dinner we came home and played a couple games of Battleship--each of us won one game. Now one of our favorite movies is on--National Treasure. What a great evening!

Spring Has (Finally) Sprung

The windows are open and the cherry blossoms are in FULL bloom! I love the smell! It will only last a couple days, but it is always my favorite time of year.

I am so bad at this blogging thing. Actually, I'm bad at most everything except running to the next activity. But, as a wise empty nester recently shared with me, these days are short indeed. With Scout 16--and driving!--and PinkOne 13, we don't have too many days left. I'm trying to soak in each day/event/time together to save for when they fly the coop.

Spring saw the Family Easter Experience at church, two dance recitals--they ROCKED! and Driver's Ed for Scout along with all the usual things like homeschooling, housekeeping, etc.

Dog training has also started up again for 4-H and this year Scout and Emma are trying "off leash". The first week Emma actually sat at the agility course and cried until it was her turn. Too funny! She loves being off-leash. They have a lot of work to do, but the potential is definitely there.
