It's Quiet.

This is my third quiet night in a row since Paul's been gone. He's off in Uberlandia, Brazil teaching a class. It was harder to let him go this time. I have lots and lots of projects and things that I could be doing, but instead, I'm deep into The Hunger Games. Yes, I know I'm a little late to that party, but I'm really glad I finally came around! I'm hooked. But to prove I didn't totally neglect my kids today, here are some cute pictures...

 Does it get any cuter than this? In my completely biased opinion, it does not.

Peter and I also played some football and basketball in the backyard today. It's fun to hang out with him  one-on-one these days with Benjamin at school.
Yesterday was the big Primary Program. Benjamin has come a long way since last year, when he refused to give a part because he was too shy. He was the first kid to say his part, and he read it perfectly and clearly. I was a proud mama, but was sad Paul had to miss it. Also on Sunday was some restructuring in the Nursery. Remember when I was put in there "temporarily?" Well, now I'm the Nursery Leader, not just a worker, and we have fresh blood coming in. It's a bit of a daunting task, but I'm also excited about it. Part of my frustrations in there had to do with the stagnancy (the old leader was great and had her own way of doing things, but she had been in there for probably five years). So now I'm on the hunt for new ideas. I'd love to hear any and all ideas about how other nurseries are run, so hit me up!
