In other news, today is "All Grown Up Day" at our school so the kids got to dress up like they will for their jobs when they are grown ups.

Anna Cate chose to dress up like a mommy.  I am flattered that this is her perception of my daily wardrobe!
Brian went as a video game inventor (Mario shirt and laptop) and an explorer (head lamp and binoculars)
The laptop is an ancient one we had sitting in the attic and when I brought it down last night, it was all taken apart but fine for him to just carry for a prop.  When he was supposed to be going to sleep, he managed to put it all together and get it running....I was amazed!
