Almost Gone

So, it turns out I am not much better at blogging daily than I am at writing letters! Which is kind of weird, because up until I got married I think I was a pretty voluminous writer. Passing notes in class was a specialty in high school. But also , when I went away for college, i think I wrote to everyone and any constantly. Now - not so much - or virtually not at all.

Mike and I have been to Ikea a couple of times since it opened and this time we brought Krista along. We are redoing the furniture upstairs and wanted her opinion. In fact, we already got rid of the huge desk up there and put in just a small desk for the computer. Maybe that will help Krista a bit to keep her stuff on the shelves in her room. Don't roll your eyes DAD!!!

Tyler was away at EFY at the U of U all week. He liked his roommate and had great time. Now he has just a couple of days to see his friends before we head off to D.C, for the ALA convention. But he's also trying to finish the course work for driver's ed so that he can get his license and he is interviewing for a job at Cafe Rio so that he can earn some money.

Krista had an almost full time job last week. She is babysitting for a family in the neighborhood. It was supposed to be four hours a day, but last week it was 7-8 hours each day, because something came up in their family and they needed some help. Luckily they also have a pool, so Krista was tired, but also in heaven.

One evening Krista came home early, so the three of us at home went to see Pirates III. We all enjoyed it, except we agreed that the scene when the British ship blew up was just all wrong.

On Saturday, even though Tyler was back, he took off to be with his friends, who are all scattering to the far corners of the globe (literally) for the rest of the day. Mike, Krista and I went to the Gateway and viewed the Chalk Art Display that benfits Utah Foster Care. These were some of our favorites:
I thought all of these were beautifully executed. However, the flamenco dancer has one huge design flaw. Can you spot it?

Room - clean? I did not know you knew those words could go together in a sentence.

Thanks for blogging - do it each evening before you go to bed.
