A Day to Remember

So, today is of course, a great day of celebration. And by that I mean that it's Cara's 10th birthday, which could seriously drag on into June. Oh, and Bin Laden is dead, so now I have to figure out what the hell I'm supposed to do for Johnny's birthday next year. Gadhafi, someone suggested on Facebook, just before my post mysteriously disappeared. Coincidence? Probably.

Johnny's Tree Study

Last week was the GATE/Art show at the elementary school. Johnny just got into the program last week, and he wanted to go see some of the exhibits that his friends worked on. His favorite was one about dogs, where, among many other tidbits, we learned that "dogs are often used to help people haunt." I did not know that. Never let spelling inhibit the creative process, I always say, and I meene it.

Cara's Cat

Johnny and Cara each had some art on display. Trees and a cat. We could have easily combined them and had a cat in the tree, but separately is fine, too.

Had an athletic "two-fer" on Saturday -- both Johnny and Cara's soccer games were wins. Might be a first for single-day victories at Casa de Cieslak. I can't mention enough that I really don't care about wins or losses, it was just an interesting outcome. Both played very well, too -- didn't get hurt and had fun, so they were wins regardless of the score.
