It was God's grace what killed the dinosaurs.....

My oldest 2 bravely watched Jurassic Park this evening. Jack suffered only minor angst at the suspense and drama; however, Sam watched it through his fingers and kept a death grip on my arm throughout most of the dinosaur scenes. As he brushed his teeth, he said, "I guess it was God's grace what killed the dinosaurs so they wouldn't eat us. That's pretty nice of God, I think."

Sophy spent her first evening back at the gym tonight. She hasn't been since December, and she was able to get back in with the same group of girls but with a different coach. Her previous coach was a young college girl studying to be a kindergarten teacher, and she coached like a kindergarten teacher. Her new coach coaches like...well, a coach. She was still pretty much on the same level as the rest of the girls even though they are 9-10 year olds and even though we've missed 5 or 6 months. She is certainly in her element, and I do not intend to pull her out again. She really has a gift in this area.

PDaddy is checking Jack out of school early tomorrow for a doc visit to get a physical for swim team. It's not a requirement for the team, but due to the strenuous swimming they are doing and the fact that he has complained of shortness of breath/chest tightness and pain after their workouts, we're just going to look into it before we get too far along to make sure everything is okay. We were told Jack had mild asthma as a 4 year old, but he really has only had probs with it when he has been sick. Anyway, we'll see what they say. Jack is just excited because PDaddy plans to take him to lunch.

Sam is so ready for school to be out. I really feel for the kid. I never knew a 7 year old that hates school so much. So very much. Only one more week after this one, if it ever ends. I'm hoping to find someone to get Sam started in piano lessons. It's something that he genuinely wants to do, and he's very excited about learning. The kid is multi-faceted, let me tell you. He doesn't know whether to roll in mud or learn something civilized.

Well, I'm off to do something constructive. Ha. Right.
