Today the boys had a science class at the Botanical Gardens where they learned about cryptogams. Cryptogams are plants that don’t have flowers or seeds. They went on a tour of the cryptogam herbarium and heard about the work being done there. Then they had a hands-on workshop on identifying and grouping cryptogams using microscopes. Both of the boys enjoyed the class a lot and came home to fill my ears with facts this evening.

While the boys were at the Gardens hard at work-- Addi and I had 6 moms and their kiddos over for scrapbooking. Well, you know that is what I call the day but really the ladies are working on all sorts of things- knitting, quilting, doll making, scrapbooking, curriculum selection, card making-- anything goes over here on Fridays! I so love this time to catch up with everyone. All of the kids get a long so well together that it is nearly always a joy... and when it's not it makes for great stories! (ha ha giggle giggle)

Once everyone cleared out Devon drove me down so we could pick up Chinese food for din-din tonight, we tried a new place that was recommended and it was pretty yum. Dev only has 4 more months and he can drive by himself in the car-- So, he is busy getting as much time in behind the wheel as he can now.  

The kids and I watched a couple of episodes of Happy Days Season 1 courtesy of Netflix just after dinner. The kids are thinking that is a funny show – they do think the Fonz is cool, but then again who doesn’t think the Fonz was?!  And what about the big brother Chuck... he is in season 1 and then... he is just gone. Isn't it funny how they do that sometimes.

Oh, speaking of old TV shows… I don’t think I shared this. Dylan saw and checked out The Six Million dollar Man Season 1 from the library, and we are down to our last disc on that. Now, there are a few of you that should be smiling big right now because you know….  and you know how sweet it was of him to get it for me. With both of those shows it is so funny to see how rough the first season were- and it will be fun to watch the characters progress a they find their nitch in the show in later episodes. Heck, Steve’s bionics don’t even make noise in the first season. But the funniest thing is … Addi is just LOVING the bionic man and she thinks Steve Austin is cool. (That apple doesn’t fall far does it?)

Around 8:00 Jocelyn came by and we watched A Good Year. I have said it before, but I really do like that movie. I had talked about it to her so much, you know how when you do that it never lives up to the hype? I love the line where she says, “…. No Max, your life doesn’t fit in this place.”

Well, I have really rambled a lot tonight over nothing… Yikes, it’s just like you were talking to me in person huh?! You know what happens when I stay up too late… So off to bed, we have CYM in the morning and have to leave the house at 8:00.

Sleep well and enjoy that spring weather … as we are slipping into some cold spells this autumn.
