This week

I was off work this week Monday-Wednesday and Jamie was off work Wednesday through today. On my time off, I took Claudia and Jordan to tennis on Monday. When we were leaving Jordan closed her thumb in the car door, so that required a trip to our now-familiar imaging center for an xray. Luckily, it wasn't broken and she's fine, now, but poor baby, it was good and smashed. I also took Jordan swimming, cleaned house (ok, not really), cooked stuff, shopped for the holiday, worked on our patio (I'm trying to create shade with plants and be very frugal about it, which means I'm planting things from seeds and then have to actually take care of the plants) and practiced clarinet. Jamie spent a lot of time taking kids swimming, to the library, to the mall (twice!) and cleaning (really), and studying for his upcoming exams. Oh, and he went to see that new Bruce Willis movie last night after the kids were in bed. He said it was fun and stupid.

Tonight we had one of the girls' friends over for pizza/salad/fruit salad/soda night and then we all ate klondike bars on the way to the Indianapolis Museum of Art to see the Nature Holds My Camera exhibit.



Jamie was more interested in the American artists, Claudia wanted to see the Warhol that is no longer there and I was really excited to see them projecting art onto a wall in the contemporary section because that's what I want to do in our living room, so I spent some time talking to one of the docents about it. The video exhibit was interesting, but not mind-blowing or anything. The kids liked it, though, so it was all good.
