Oh man, am I tired.

We just got back from the swimming pool. It's 8:45 PM. We had so much fun! But let me back up...

Today, I went to the library. All four of us were going to go, so the girls could pick out a few books as well. But J decided he would rather NOT! So, I got to go by myself, which was just great for me! I was there for over an hour and got 6 books! 3 random novels, 2 parenting books, and one book about a Vietnam Vet's journey back to Vietnam. I am excited to read them all! I also got a Veggie Tales and sign language videos for the girls. Oh, and I ran in to a friend and got to talk to her for a few minutes without chasing my kids. Great day!

After nap time, w gave the girls dinner (PB&Js and a banana). Then, we got bathing suits on and went to the pool! This was our first time going at night, and it was fun! The girls were so excited because the lights on the bottom of the kiddie pool changed colors. And their friends were there too! J and I knew the friends would be there, but we hadn't told P and K, just in case they couldn't show up. So yeah, it was a great few hours of water. The girls did great, by the way which makes me so very happy.

I am almost done readying Fahrenheit 451. Can you believe I have never read it? Well, I should finish it tonight. And I am blown away by how different the writing styles were when it was written. The style reminds me a lot of 1984, which I like. It just takes a minute to adjust your brain to it. But I gotta say, this book is not as amazing as I thought it would be. Why exactly is it considered 'a classic'??
