Its a two-fer

Two posts in one day!! How can anyone be so lucky?!?
We had a wonderful day yesterday. One of those days when I thought over and over that if we weren't home schooling we would never do this.
My new friend (see previous post) called on Thursday and invited us to go with her to the harbor for the Army-Navy pep rally. Even though the decision to HS was partially about "doing those things we never get to do" it was still difficult to step out of that comort zone of home to pack everyone up on a winter day and head downtown knowing that it would exhaust us all and we still had a party to go to that evening. Oh well, what the heck.
What a terrific day spent cheering, watching, exploring and laughing.
Yes, we were exhausted when we got home. Yes, the Sambino missed his sanity-saving nap. Yes, I had very little time or energy to make the brownies, make the ornament, make the kids shower, make them eat. Yes, there was about 30 minutes of hell for everyone at the party when Sambino just crashed (thank goodness for his brother and their game of tackle).
And, NO, there is not one eensy-weensy bit of regret for any of it.
