First, we overslept. We didn't get up until after 10am! After throwing in a load of laundry, loading the dishwasher, and eating breakfast, I sat the boys down for a Bible lesson and reading. We finished our Bible lesson but were only halfway through our chapter of Moccasin Trail when Jeff started griping. That's right.. I said Jeff. He wanted us to hurry up and get ready b/c we had plans for today.
We started with a trip to Wal-Mart and then took the boys up to Grandma's house. They stayed there and ate pizza while Jeff and I went to see We Are Marshall. Jeff and I are both Marshall University graduates. This movie is the true story of a plane crash that devastated the university and entire town in 1970. Actually, the movie isn't really about the plane crash. It's about the aftermath of the crash and how this town, and this university, rose from the ashes when the Marshall football team, coaches, and several prominent townspeople died in the crash. It's very true to life and very well done. You will cry... but you'll laugh too. If you haven't seen it, you should. Jeff and I are in that crowd shot of the stadium at the end of the movie.
After the movie, we went shopping. I picked out some birthday gifts for my twin sister. We're going to Dayton next weekend to celebrate at her house. We'll be 36. Here we are on our last birthday... I like to think my face isn't quite as fat as it was back then. LOL I'm the one on the left side of the screen, in the red shirt.
When we finished shopping, we went to eat at my favorite place, Super China Buffet. Of course, I ate like a pig at the trough and my stomach is still uncomfortably full. Why do I do that to myself?? I really need to get serious about eating better. Well, "better" might not be the right word. It was really go-o-o-od, don't see how the food could have been any "better." LOL But I definitely need to eat LESS and also eat more healthy.
We picked up the boys and didn't get home until 10pm! Needless to say, we didn't get anymore school done today! But that's okay. My niece told me yesterday that she's not going to school all week. School is closed Monday for a holiday, Friday for an inservice day, she's skipping Tuesday and doesn't have to go Wednesday and Thursday b/c she doesn't have to take final exams. If you miss three days or less, you're excused from finals. Well, that certainly makes me feel better about all the school days we skip!! LOL

Funny that you saw that too! :)
About the picture. When you upload it will always go to the top. I usually view hte post in Html and copy and paste the photo html.
you can also click and drag the picture where you want it. I find it is faster to copy and paste the html
You can just click and drag the pictures. It took me awhile to figure it out, but it's fairly easy once you do.
I'll have to go see that movie, so I can see you in your five seconds of fame. lol Yeah, as if I could pick you out, even if I *could* see! ;-)
I had no idea you could click and drag pictures! Sheesh.
Federal holidays are awesome. Dh gets most of them, and his new company gives them the week between Christmas and New Year off. *That* was awesome.
I can't wait to see the Marshall movie. I guess we'll look for you. :)
