A sweet girl named Marilyn Stark
played cards like a consummate shark
Each card that she saw
her memory could draw
but she never could say where she parked

I almost forgot again. My week has been off a bit because of Owen's school schedule. He has been home yesterday and today for teacher inservice and will be off Monday for President's day.

Because of this schedule change I took them to get haircuts this morning and then off to the zoo for a couple hours. Obviously we couldn't see everything in a couple of hours but that was really all the time we had. We renewed our family pass while we were there and it was time and money well spent. The boys did great. Normally I'm exhausted from trying to keep Owen and Ivan to walk faster and I have to stop and rest their short legs a little more often than I like. Today they were running ahead of me and it was so perfect. The weather was beautiful and it was very pleasant to be out walking around.
