I don't think this day could go any slower!

First of all - TGIF! The sun is shining and it's going to be in the high 50s - woohoo! I guess that's why today is seeming to take FOREVER! I woke up early this morning, before the alarm even, and felt good about the day. That is, until I was almost to work and realized the sun was out and it was fairly warm, then it set in, I'm stuck at work all day. Which really isn't entirely true. As soon as my boss comes back from watching some EMU softball, I should be out of here. Which I'm guessing will be in the next hour. Until then, I just keep watching the clock.

So what's new...hmmmmm. We finally put together the air hockey table (OK, actually my dad did) but it's because we finally made some more room in the garage. So now everyday Drew wants to play, which wouldn't be bad except it's a bit chilly out there and I'm kinda just ready to be inside where it's warm. Last Saturday we asked Drew if he wanted to go out to dinner. He said yes but then quickly did an about face and said he would rather stay at home with Grandpa and drill stuff. They were working on using a drill and cordless screwdriver and putting screws and holes in an empty box. We were shocked it opted to stay home and reminded Grandpa it was a pretty big honor cuz he always is up for going to dinner.

Speaking of Grandpa - he cracks me up. Last weekend we bought a new grill as ours would require more money in parts (after only 4 yrs) than just replacing the whole thing. So all three guys went to Sears and picked up a new one. My dad looked at the box as it sat in the driveway and said, "I didn't know KMart sold Kenmore". I said, "dad, Sears and Kmart are the same company now, have been for several years!" I was amazed. Likewise of all our new-fangled technology like the DVR, laptop, cell phone, caller-id, voicemail...yep, all those "new" technologies are mind blowing. A couple weeks ago I was blogging and he looked at me in amazement, and said, "well, I could have never typed that fast" and I said, "well you know this isn't a typewriter, we can push delete." Luckily, he and Drew have a great time after school playing outside. It's been a bit chilly but it doesn't stop them. They practice fishing, play hide 'n seek, trim the trees, and have a great time just being outside. Their latest project, which Drew doesn't know about yet, is building an elevated playhouse. Drew really wants a treehouse but we don't have any trees quite ready for a house, so now they can build the next best thing.
