David's DI Team (click here--Destination Imagination-- to find out more) made it to the state finals again this year. He LOVES it and so do we. Next season, I am really hoping that I can run a team with Elijah and Ann on it too, I just need to figure out the participation rules. It is an awesome program that implements so many different learning styles and teaches teamwork, creativity, critical thinking, smart-spontaneity, etc.
Last night I took Elijah to see "How To Tame A Dragon". We had such a good time together, sharing popcorn and whispering during the movie. Elijah wanted to know what Cinemas meant, so he went around asking the employees until they could give him an answer. One finally told him it meant "theaters", but when we got home and looked it up in the dictionary, the technical term is a film or movie. Hmmmm. Afterwards we puttered around Kmart, which made us covet toys, when what we really needed was shirts. He picked out one for David and one for himself (only 4$ each, score!) and I got a new button-up shirt (pink of course).
Enjoying a day at home today. Catching up on housework, planning to put Mary Poppins on for the kids, and looking for a recipe to use up the gobs of instant oatmeal that Paul bought. Can you make granola with instant oatmeal? I'll soon find out. I will post a recipe for regular oatmeal that you bake and is soooo yummy in our tummy.

sounds like a good day. I love spending one on one time with the kids. Doesn't seem as overwhelming and you can really enjoy the people they are becoming. :)
How fun that you got to go on a date with just one of your sons. I need to do this with Josiah one of these days.
