Fun and Games

On Thursday, Gary and I both went back to work. No more lounging around the house together. It's quite sad.




One weekday last week, we both went to Meijer at 1:0o in the afternoon. Whenever I have a day off during the work week, I am always shocked to see how many people are out doing errands. I always wonder what kind of jobs they must have to have daytimes free, or wonder if they work at all. So what must people have thought about the two of us, dressed in sweats and old t-shirts, shopping at 1:00, buying three board games and six frozen pizzas?

We spent the beginning of this past week playing our newly-purchased Sorry, Trouble, and Connect Four games. Now we finally have some games at our house! The new Connect Four is so much fancier than the Connect Four from childhood. I liked that the checkers all stay inside the ring when you empty the board. Gary liked that the board wasn't as shaky. Does anyone have any favorite childhood games?

While I am happy to start the school year, I DO wish I could keep sleeping late and having the whole day to myself!

Next weekend, we have Abby's first birthday party, and the other three days of the long weekend, we are attacking the countertops and staining the cabinets! Yay!
