Hands, fingers, knees, and toes

Knees and toes!

N&J learned that song at school and sang it the other day at dinner.

So they did a fantastic job skating on their own. Their teacher even commented on it. It seems that skating is one of those great things that just builds up their self-confidence, much like how running does for me. I must say I my skates might be the wrong size or something because I continue to have terrible pain in my feet for a lot of the night when skating. Taking off the skates and putting back on my sneakers is such a blessed feeling!

It is funny but I just realized in taking to A. last night that I have not had alcohol in 7 weeks and I decided to try and give up alcohol and pop for Lent.

Pop is tough to give up! I have not had any for a while and I find myself wanting it badly. It is comprable to quitting smoking, which is scary. I have been a big fan of Diet Pepsi for years and can easily drink a minimum of a two liter bottle every day! So not drinking it hopefully is improving my health and also saving me some money, ie. when I go out to lunch I just get ice water instead of pop.

After the skating and when the girls went to bed A. and I watched most of "The Order" with Heath Ledger on dvd- it was a kind of occult/horror movie. We thought it was slow but pretty good.

Tonight we take the girls to register for kindergarten at their new school and they might have the opportunity to meet their new teacher and so of course they are very excited. It is a bit odd realizing that they are soon to be five years old!

Time really does go by fast.
