M is playing a lot, lot of soccer, and A is working out with the XC team, and both girls are tired at night! And it's hard to get them up in the AM. Tonight we tried to get them to go to bed at a reasonable hour – 11 – and I think we succeeded.

N got to bring a stuffy to school today because his class had earned a stuffy party, or something like that – so he (of course) brought Cowie and Chickie.

[I think Daddy just told the girls to go to sleep, so I guess they weren't asleep yet! Ugh. It's 11:57PM.)

Update on the house. Painters started today. Basement floor is in and library is almost built!
