Adventures in reading




Pretty low key day here in Indy. Got up, went to chuch (I did... the kids went to Mimi and Papa's to play), had some lunch, and went to the "new" Indianapolis Marion County Public Library for an "invitation only" event for the Early Reader's Club. We listened to some books, did some stamping (not nearly as good as yours, Susan and Sara), had a snack, went up 5 escalators (to the top of the building--so mom and I could see downtown, and Natalie and Landry could enjoy the rides), and left 1 1/2 hours later, $2 poorer for paying for parking in the wierdest parking garage I've seen in a while. Natalie and Mimi DID, however, complete the scavenger hunt, resulting in a NEW book that Shannen JUST read (like 2 minutes ago) for bedtime.

We came home and made meatloaf (the EASIEST recipe ever--hamburger, 2 eggs, 1 pkg. stuffing mix, 1 cup water, 1/2 cup BBQ sauce... I separate into two "loaves" , cook in a 9x13 pan, cook at 350 for an hour and a half, and it is DELICIOUS), waited for Shannen to get home from work (LAST Sunday EVER...), and had good dinner--meatloaf, baked potatoes, corn and rolls. It's all cleaned up, the kids are in bed, and now we're watching Big Brother 9. Life is good.

Shannen's last day (as of this writing) is Wednesday. He works about 5 hours a day for the next two days and then should be home by noon on Wednesday. He is a free man until Monday, when he reports to who knows where for who knows how long.... Stay tuned!

I guess that is it from here. Have a great week!
