Observations: Getting up before 7 everyday is going to require a change in bedtime for me. This week has exhausted me! I cannot continue to hit bed between eleven and midnight and still have energy come Friday evening. The other thing I noticed this week, 2nd graders themselves are a bit exhausting. They are like little energizer bunnies, moving, moving, moving. Me, I am more like the StayPuf Marshmallow Man, plodding along in slow motion, just trying to keep up!
Overheard: I found myself in many situations today where I had the opportunity to "overhear" others' conversations. The ones I think I found most intriguing were those conversations between Mark and his sisters as we were out to dinner and taking a stroll on the boardwalk. They always have such a good time together and the stories they tell and share are very entertaining for me.
Gratitude: So very grateful that Mark's sisters still come out to Ocean City for a week every September. We love having the opportunity to catch up with them and just spend time together. We had a wonderful dinner and then we spent some quality time walking on the boardwalk and participating in all that the boardwalk offers like skee ball, gelato and Kohr's Brothers. YUM!
Favorite Moment: We shared so many wonderful moments this evening. I think my favorite would have to be when Karen convinced us to take a roller coaster ride. Mark, Susie, Karen and I rode the "little" roller coaster along with several 8 year olds. It was just our speed and was such a fun thing to do!
