Spent a fair amount of time this morning watering the sod that the city had layed out in the middle of the road project. They have so kindly left it up to us to water. Not so keen about wastin a fair amount of time and water doing that for them. I think that an email to the city again is in my future.

Off to Madeline's class - kind of a mommy and me type thing. It is so much fun and she loves it too. After class the girls and I sat down with Casey (she works in one of the other classrooms) during her lunch and chatted. Emma didn't say much, but she was excited!!

Came home to enjoy some time and clean up a bit. Rumor had it that Jay was on his way home - for a day or so...Nap time, then poof, Jay was home! You can tell that all the travel and being away from home is really, really wearing on him. It is wearing on all of us not to mention almost everyone else that he works with. I told him to wait until the company picnic and see if the bosses will acknowledge and "reward" all of the sacrafices that the guys have given. Jay said doubtful. I prefer a cup half full. We will see.

A nice evening grilling out and playing. Such a calm about the house when we are all together as a family.
