I have so much to tell you that I made a list while I was walking on the treadmill this morning at the Y.
1 – Let’s start there! Three days this week I’ve gone to run/walk at the Y after dropping the girls off at school. I can’t tell you how good it feels to start the day like that. Then, midway through the day it’s like, wow, I don’t have to think about exercising because I did it HOURS ago. Win!
2 – We got a new roof! The roof, the roof, the roof is on fyah…ok, it’s not and it wasn’t. That’s just the song I start singing every time I say roof. Actually we had hail damage a few months back along with many people in our neighborhood. I think we’re the 5th house or so. The shingles are a little darker and we got the 3-ply shingles.
3 – The girls had Independence Day at school on Tuesday. Lexi grabbed Emma’s hand and they walked in like that. Emma took her to her class and then walked to hers. It still blows my mind that she would be the one leading someone into school. A teacher stopped her though and told her she couldn’t do that again so Emma walks her to the commons area and then they each go down their own hall. They are SO cute together and I love that they love each other so well.
4 – We bought Monopoly Tuesday night. Can’t tell you how disappointed I was to find the size of the property cards and color of Baltic and Mediterranean Avenue have changed. I don’t know why. Sometimes I don’t do well with change.
5 – MrsFussyPants is hosting a discussion on CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters. Since reading Mere Christianity I’m psyched to jump in on that one.
6 – Marla Taviano is hosting a Radical Readalong. I’m so excited to see what comes out of that.
7 – I tried out Facetime yesterday and it was amazing! Excellent quality video and sound. It’s like having a high quality, mobile web cam. So much easier to show stuff to the other person. Not that I do that, you know, but just the fact that you can is pretty cool.
That’s it, I hope your Thursday is going well!
Ok, it's bad enough that Hasbro released a version of Monopoly that doesn't even use paper money, but why would they changed the colors of the properties on the standard Monopoly board? It's Monopoly madness!
Monopoly has always been my favorite board game! I don't even want to think about them changing anything…so I'm still hanging on to the game I've had since I was a teenager 🙂
There were even more things I didn't like…dice was smaller, chance/community chest cards were smaller, some other color changes. grr! I don't know why it matters, but it just didn't seem right!
That picture of your girls is priceless. So sweet. And wow…you’re one busy lady. 🙂

Your girls are too sweet. And you'll love the Screwtape Letters – you may even want to read it aloud to them!
