Today is Monday. That means it's time for "Monday Minutiae"... quick write-ups of miscellaneous, meaningless, and sometimes mundane musings.
- Matt and I got to out out on Friday for a date... a kid-free date! We went to the Brigantine in Escondido (a nice fish food restaurant). We discovered that it pays to go early on a Friday night to eat: They offer a three-course meal for basically the price of a regular entree. They offer this between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. We were there at around 5:15... along with all the elderly "early birds". We were the youngest people in the restaurant but we got a good deal!
- I'm not really sure how to spell restaurant. I'll be spell-checking this, for sure!
- My bullet-point dots aren't spacing right. What's up with that?!
- I think I fixed it.
- Nate is growing more and more fond of chickens, ducks, and other types of fowl. He must take his stuffed chicken and two little roosters everywhere he goes.
- Nate still thinks he is a baby bird. As I write this, he and Andrew are playing in Nate's "bird house"... a fort made out of a sheet and cushions.
- I booked a weekend trip to Santa Barbara for Matt and myself. We are going in October and I can hardly wait. We have never been to Santa Barbara before. I hear it's beautiful.
- I made chocolate chip banana muffins today, using the banana bread mix from Trader Joe's. They were YUMMY! I ate too many.
- I just finished reading the book The Shack by William P. Young. It was pretty good & very interesting. I found it to be a little strange but a challenge to how I've always viewed God. I can't say it makes my list of favorite books but it's definitely worth a read.
- Now it's an hour or so after I started writing this... had to finish up our homeschool day.
- I purchased a sweeper vacuum for Nate-- the kind that you just push and the rollers sweep it up (no electricity needed). He loves it! It works pretty well. I have to say, our carpet is very clean!
- Nate is such a cleaning freak. As I write this very sentence, he is cleaning his bathroom. Really!
Well, that's probably enough meaningless, miscellaneous information for now. I need to spell-check this and get the house straightened up before Matt gets home from work.
Next Monday, if I remember, I'll have more minutiae to share.
This is just one of Nate's chickens. He (?) came with us on a hike on Palomar Mountain.

wow, you've been busy, you blogger you. i am so happy that homeschooling is working out for you. I truly believe that the 2 days they get to go to school and all the support you get really makes a difference. you are very blessed to have the classical academy. i also think you are very blessed to live in such a patriotic town. What a fun parade! I definitely see all the character escondido has, now that i'm not there.
