I'm doing bullet points because nothing I have to say is related to eachother.

• Tabitha won a drawing contest run by Disney's Blast :) She was one of 12 winners, 3 in each age group, and they all received the same prize which is The Incredibles on DVD. She was so incredibly thrilled to find out she won. The winning artwork is displayed at Blast, but it's a pay site so I saved a screen shot and you can see her drawing here.

• We are now a two car family thanks to my amazing in-laws. My fil decided to buy a new Saturn and it wasn't really worth it to trade in his old one so it now belongs to us. Chris has a car and I have a car. Amazing! The only problem is with this freedom of "I can take the girls here, or we could go there" I am stopped by guilt. If I take the girls here and there then Chris is missing out. We do fun things as a family and I don't want to leave him out. I assume I'll stop thinking of it that way in due time and if nothing else, I no longer have to worry about getting Tabitha to classes on time. Not to mention Daisy and I are going to start a class soon and I was trying to figure out how we were going to get there.

• Just to really heap the accolades on my mil, the woman is currently taking care of my two children thereby assuring my sanity will stay intact, well, sane is a relative term so let's say my personal sanity which may not be considered sane by conventional thoughts. Anyway, Chris is still on his project and then goes straight to the play tonight. So this is giving me a much needed break today and I'll be ready to handle the late afternoon and evening once I pick them up. He's hoping to have the next three days off, though he'd have the play the next two evenings, and then a couple more long days with no play activity and then our life should get back to normal. I hope.
