Just got done eating a delicious dinner with my family, which is always wonderful. Salad, spaghetti, and garlic bread. Simple, but delicious, and eaten with people whom I love. What dinner could be better than that?

The nasty mat burn on Steven's forehead got infected, so now he has no choice about not wrestling for awhile. He gets to take two showers a day, and put on the medicine four times a day. The showering part, in particular, is torture to a twelve year old boy. They do like their layer of grunge.  

Since it is Good Friday the kids were home from school today. They spent the day happily playing with some of their stuffed animals. Bill stayed home with Steven so I could go grocery shopping, which actually took quite some time. The store was very crowded, probably everyone else was buying a special Easter dinner, too.

Its been above freezing the last few days, but there are still patches of snow in the yard. Guess it just shows what a wet and harsh winter this was...

Have been reading a guidebook about visiting New York with families. I have been trying to figure out what would interest and entertain children ranging in age from two to sixteen. There are actually some things that would. Should be a great trip.
