I just got done watching Parts 1 and 2 of "The Pacific" and I think I am going to be a happy girl. I am already falling in love with this show. I am so happy J bought this series.

We were talking while we were watching, of course. J did the Army critique. And the "Yeah, that's the Marines for you" comments flew out. "I would have my squad do A, B and C..." I recapped history stuff for him. It was a great evening for us!

Today in general was a good day. I took the girls to McDonalds to play with their friend C. McD's is the only play place near us. And when it is cold and snowy and yucky outside, it is pretty much our only choice for play. But it worked out quite nicely for us. The girls had fun playing with their friends, and I got to chat with a great friend. Thanks!

No nap for the monkeys today, which is sad. I was really hoping all that play would wear them out. It did. But they just got cranky. Until Daddy walked through the door. As soon as he walked in, they were happy and silly and great listeners. Some days, that attitude switch just irks me.

And, taadaa, I made homemade tortillas! Strangely, that is the first time I have ever tried. But they turned out pretty good. This would have been easier if I had a tortilla press, though. I think I should invest in one! Which led to online window shopping for kitchen gadgets, bake ware, kitchen goodness in general. Man, there are so many things I want!

Thanking God for clear roads, nice chats with good friends, and sleeping toddlers.
