I got sick, but I am actually feeling better.  I can not talk (torure!) and my cough is bad, but I feel much better.  Very strange, but hey, who am I to complain?

So today with Ben home, we packed up the kiddos and went to see A Shark something with Will Smith.  SUCKED!  Very boring!  But it was fun for Ben and I going with Sam and Kit.  Sam was fascinated with everything!  She loved getting a treat and sitting in the big girl seats.  We brought a lawn chair and the boppy for me and Kit.  He nursed for awhile and then enjoyed hanging out.  We set up in the handicap area and even brought a blanket, so the kiddos could play with toys quietly while we watched.  There were a few other parents there w/ young kids too.   We made it half way thru, which was fine.  When you go to the movies w/ a 2.5 year old and a 9 mth old, you know going in that you may never see the end of the movie.  As it was, the movie really did suck, so Ben and I did not care, lol! 

We then got the kiddos down for a nap and I got to nap too!  Ben enjoyed some quiet time on the computer, playing his games.

Tonight I lit Shabbat candles and said Shabbat prayers.  Ben said it was nice, but I know he thinks it is a little strange.  But he still is supportive.  I remember when Sam was in the hospital last summer, that one of the Chaplins mentioned that when really horrific things happen, many people find God.  I was too busy trying to take care of everybody to really think one way or the other about it.  But here I am 14 months later, and I have found that religon is much more important to me.  I want my kids to have tradition and God in their lives.  So I am not about to get all freaky about it and but I think there are little things that I can do to keep it at home too.  Ben and I decided that Sunday School and family service once a month is good, but I want the kids to see us practicing at home what is learned at Temple.  My Gosh, sometimes I sound like such a grown up.  I guess at 35 I am a grown up, lol!

Tomorow I am going to Philly with the kids.  My cousins, the twins, are turning 3 and we are going for their bday party.  The ride will be long, but I am hoping to catch the kids at nap time and hopefully they will sleep.  I know they will enjoy the party.  With no voice, I don't know how much conversing I will be doing though.

On that note, I am off to bed.
