The day slipped by too quickly... and as usual, I didn't get everything done that I'd hoped to. It will all still be here tomorrow.

Josh and I had hoped to take the kids to see Bee Movie in Plano and stop at Laura's Bistro for dinner... but for some reason they vetoed that idea. I guess they just wanted to stay at home and play since Daddy is here ( Read more... )
