My oldest is a published author. And he is so proud of it! He wrote a story at school about a Lego City. The school printed one sentence on each page, and he drew and colored pictures. They then laminated each sheet, and bound them together putting an "About the Author" page, a "Dedication", and a front and back cover. It will stay in the school's library for him (and other kids) to check out until he goes to middle school when he can bring them all home. He is allowed to "publish" one book a year. I love it. I always dreamed of being an author when I was young...

No offense to Ginna, whose husband just finished dentistry school, but I hate going to the dentist. Seriously, it is my biggest fear. Unfortunately, I don't have very good teeth. I had to have some fillings this morning, and now I feel like I might die. Even getting a cleaning knocks me out for the day. My husband can fall asleep in the dentist's chair, but for me it is a total body work out. My whole body gets tense and I squeeze my hands together so tight that they fall asleep. I wanted to smack the girl that was suctioning the extra water out of my mouth. She vacuumed the inside of my cheek enough times. Sheesh.

I recently read the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants series. I really enjoyed all four books. They made me feel young. Except when I was feeling old because I wanted to shake the girls in the story when they were doing something stupid. I watched the movie, and thought that they did a pretty good job. They went way off with a couple of the girl's stories and left some characters out, but overall they did well. I am curious to see the sequel movie when it comes out this summer.

On Monday, there was no school so I took the kids hiking. We went to two different waterfalls. My kids usually complain on hikes, but this time they didn't. We had a wonderful time. All along the way there was many wildflowers in bloom. It was so pretty. These are the waterfalls that we saw:

Enjoy your day!
