1 More Week

What a week! I am nearing the end of this current semester. I had two 15-20 page research papers to write and three exams to take before I can take a month break. All this past week was spent writing papers. Saturday morning, I submitted them. I couldn't have done them without the help of Jaynee proofreading, and the girls playing nice all week long so I could focus on the papers. This week I have three tests, two of which I just started. It is going to be another long week.

Other events from last week were.... I don't know because once I got home I was banned to the office to write and could only come out for a bathroom break, food, and sleep. With my boss gone I was also able to work half days so I could live in the office. I know the girls played, but again all I can remember is sitting in front of a computer screen and writing and reading.

But really, Saturday was a big day for the girls. Saturday was a celebration for "Month of the Military Child". The installation had a small carnival and lots of booths handing out free stuff. We were able to spend about 2 hours there before the girls got tired and before there were too many people. Of course we forgot our camera, so we have nothing but loot to prove we attended. The best part was that Emma wanted to ride the 15 foot Farris wheel. Sofia did not want to ride but once Emma was up and soaring, Sofia wanted to ride. So Jaynee took her on a swing ride. They sat in the same seat and Sofia loved it. There was another one just like the first swing ride, but enabled us to be next to the girls in our own swing. Emma started to yell out in excitement because she was having fun. Sofia was scared because mommy was not there holding her. It was a great morning because they were so tired that they both took naps that lasted 2 hours.

Later that evening Jaynee signed us up for "Parents Night Out". It is a program where the installation child services will watch the kids from 6 to 11 while the parents go out and have a date. The cost is $15 per child and they even feed the kids. We think it was a lot of fun for the girls, but we were not there to know for sure. As for Jaynee and I, we spent the entire evening looking for stuff for our girls. I think the next time we do this; I am banning any shopping or buying an item for the girls. This is supposed to be our time.

Well, I will check to see if there are any pictures when I get home and post some. If not, I hope to do better next week after I am done with school for this semester.
