Dull

It seems that life has been pretty quiet around here lately.  I didn't realize how few posts I've made (or how little that they said). 

We still haven't packed away Christmas but should have it done today.  We haven't finished the Pinewood Derby cars and the race is next weekend.  We haven't installed the cat door to the computer room (we moved the cat box).  I haven't done any laundry yet this week.  I never did clean out my closet.  Sheela just started to make a white satin cape for her "good witch" costumes (both North and South witches).  We haven't freshened up the Sharma's bedroom and they will be home on Wednesday.

But the sun is shining and it is almost 70 degrees today.  I want to go out to play instead of working.  We've all done too much working lately.

I spent all week in training classes (Design Controls and Risk Management - both very important in Medical Device manufacturing) and then trying to keep production rolling along by going to work before and after class. 

Sid has had a fair amount of hand holding to do to keep his current deals on track plus set up the tax office. 

Sunil is doing his Cub Scouting. He just earned his Wolf rank.  The last activity was cleaning up the creek through town.  His baseball team is trying to practice on pretty days too.  At school he is dissecting owl pellets.

Sheela is working on her Destination Imagination challenge.  Their solution will be a musical version of "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" presented in the style of a music video with original lyrics and a grand entrance or grand exit.  She also read nearly 2000 minutes in the last six weeks and is working on her Science Fair project: The effect of sugar and salt on the water absorption of pinto and black beans.

So life here is trucking on along at what we've accepted as our normal pace.  Sheela just left for the movies.  Sid is watching football.  I'm going to start a load of laundry and then see if Sunil will come for a bike ride with me.
