Date

Darin and I had a date today. It's been a while. Darin's sister-in-law offered to watch the kids for a few hours, so we decided to go to a movie. We went and saw 7 Pounds with Will Smith. It was interesting, but I had no idea what was going on until the end. There were a couple of guys needed bone marrow transplants. Having been through it with Darin, I couldn't help but critique it. Matinees are nice because there are hardly any people there, and Darin is able to go without worrying about the crowds. I still have to remind him, "Hands in Pockets!" By the way, it's day 33. We are 1/3 of the way there.

The girls had so much fun at Jason and Jessica's (of course, they are both a little scared of Jason). They love going to play with their cousin Karlee. And Jessica's Mom took them all to see a movie. Devin loved the popcorn. Jessica made them tu-tu's and they liked them so much that they wore them to bed over their PJs.

After we got home we got an unexpected visit from Darin's Vice-Principal delivering a present from one of his students. Apparently she was very concerned about Darin. It was some crazy fuzzy-topped socks. I want to see him wear them.

Right now I have a bit of insomnia myself. Devin was crying and I went in to hold her for a while. She stayed awake the whole time she was with Jessica, but she fell asleep in the 5 or 10 minutes it took to drive home. Whenever I get up with the kids, I have a hard time falling asleep again. Glad I don't have to work tomorrow.
