The kids and I went up to Maine to visit some friends this weekend.  It was fun, but next time we'll have to stay longer than two nights... I'm utterly exhausted after driving for eight hours out of 48.  The drive was fine, just boring.  There was no traffic.  We listened to Ramona's World on CD in the car, and that was funny and made the time go by faster.  The kids watched a Magic Schoolbus DVD about bugs, which was good, because I think we're going to do a unit on that topic this month.

While in Maine, we went to the beach one of the days.  It was pretty windy and chilly, and thankfully I had a garbage bag full of clothes waiting to be donated to Goodwill.  Miraculously, there was a sweatshirt to fit each child!  The kids had a great time playing with my friend's four children.  We also went to see UP, which was a really cute movie.  It was actually a little bit sad, which is not something I expected from a Pixar movie, but it was good nonetheless.

We have a busy week ahead... R has a follow up with the opthamologist (she had a severe pinkeye infection, but is all better now), I have a dentist appointment, we have a playdate scheduled, a library program that we're participating in, and R has ballet.  Oh!  R's recital tickets are on sale now.  Email me for more info on that.

I think that's about it.  Have a great week!
