The crib is up. We even moved our bed and fit the crib next to my side. However, the room now looks horrible so I got out my tape measure and did some figuring because we most definitely need to change the whole room around. Hopefully next Monday. I also haven't done the bumper yet so I temporarily put Tabitha's old one in the crib to both shield baby eyes from the nightlight and prevent her from grabbing the bars in her sleep and banging her head as I saw her do during a nap today.

Tabitha has now learned x in cursive and practiced it today and very much looks forward to the rest of the week so she can finish the lower case letters. Math went quickly and then it was on to an experiment in our Solar System book. It was a demonstration of matter and it's many forms. She took ice (solid), melted it to water (liquid) and then heated it to water vapor (gas). Then she put the baggie of vapor back into the freezer to reverse the process. She found it entertaining, especially when I erroneously suggested she heat it a little longer and the bag made quite the popping sound in the microwave. Thankfully it was an easy experiment to start over :)

Today was Tabitha's first bowling class and boy did she love it. She scored 91 and her teammate scored 93 so they just mopped up the other five and six year olds. I stayed home to cook dinner but when Chris called to tell me they were on their way home I could hear Tabitha loud and clear just bouncing off the walls, of the car that is. It's for 12 weeks so it's a good long class. We're not sure if she'll always have the same teammate or if they'll rotate them. I'll probably go next week to watch.

Chris is currently out at an audition for a play. It was written by a friend of my bil's (I believe) and he and my bil are the producers. Just a little community show but something Chris will really enjoy if he gets the part. I hope he does because I know how much fun he'll have. He did some plays in junior high and perhaps one in high school? I forget.

So my kids are in bed and my husband is out. I'm alone. That is rare. I going to finish my blogging and then kick back with a Diet Coke and play with my poor, neglected Sims.
