The kids have wrapped up their Fall soccer season with the exception of one more tournament for Kenneth's team. Per the usual psychotic nature of soccer planning, the games start at 8 AM on a Saturday and are in a town about 25 minutes from our house. Argh.
My Aunt Pat and Uncle Henry visited my parents this week and we went over for appetizers and wine on Tuesday evening. It was great seeing them again and the kids enjoyed it too. They went home with a couple of new games that Pat bought for them and are looking forward to trying them out. Board games on the weekend are pretty standard for us.
I took a personal day from work today and relaxed in the morning at Upper Crust Bakery, reading some of the many catalogs that have besieged my mailbox since November began. After lunch I went to the school and helped out Evelyn's teacher by folding/stapling classwork, then helped out Kenneth's teacher as well. I also brought in some $$ from Taiwan so that I could show the kids what money from a different part of the world looked like. For Kenneth's class, I showed them how to convert from Taiwan dollars (TWD) to U.S. dollars (USD). They were impressed with the $500 TWD, which was only about $16 USD. We ended the day with (unfortunately) flu shots for both kids. Normally, Evelyn would qualify for FluMist (Kenneth's mild asthma prohibits proper intake of the FluMist) but they were out of their supply--so she had an unexpected shot and was not thrilled about it. A hospital cafeteria popsicle post-shot made life a bit better.
