Slowest Week EVER

This is going to be the longest week ever because we are SO ready to go to the beach. Today dragged by at work because I don't really have much to do before I go. I'm caught up on writing all of my speeches and I don't have any tour groups scheduled to come until the end of the month. So I'm just doing things as needed around the office. I spent most of the day doing odds and ends.

Patrick on the other hand is crazy busy. He was out of town for three days last week, which meant he had tons of work awaiting his return. In fact, he didn't get home until 8 p.m. tonight. He's usually home around 6:30 p.m., but he's trying to get everything done so we can leave Thursday night.

I guess I could have packed while I waited on Patrick to get home, but I didn't. Lauren and I hung out and played. She's really into putting things together right now. Tonight she was playing with her wooden barnyard puzzle. When she put the correct piece in the correct space I said "Yea!" and clapped. Well, she thought that was fun so she kept trying to get the rest of the pieces in their spots. She got one almost right and she looked up at me and clapped her hands and said "Yea!" to reward herself.

She's also been trying to put the correct shape inside her soft blocks. She usually gets it right because they're larger than the puzzle. Bebe smart.

Okay, still playing and learning with the new Web site. If you'll scroll all the way to the bottom you'll notice a video. It's an oldie, but a goodie. I was just experimenting to see if I could embed a YouTube video -- it worked.
