Texas Hold 'Em

Last night was game night; each Friday the people in our tower- who enjoy staying up till all hours- get together to do something after all the kiddies are dead asleep. Of course we are constantly checking to make sure they are still sleeping. Anyway, last night seven of us, who had no idea what we were doing, printed up the instructions for and taught ourselves how to play Texas Hold 'Em. Robert and Jessica brought their table and bench, John and Kristina brought their penny jar, Corrina and I went out four times, each (being saved only by pity loans from the others), Robert and Corrina left early, we all ate too much, and Kristina ended up the big winner of the night, winning back all her own pennies!!! It was lots of fun, and we are even thinking of splitting a dollar to buy some poker chips so we don't have to use any money. (Previous activities: Karaoke(SingStar on Playstation), Pictionary, Bowling, The Game of Life, Cranium, Five Crowns, Various Pot Lucks, and Movies...And we thought college life would be boring for us old folks!!!)

PRESCHOOL!!!

Aliyah was so excited when I told her she could go to a real school instead of just working with mom at the table with her "school books." We found a preschool we wanted but were told that there was a waiting list, so of course, didn't have much hope of her getting in. Then we got a call last week and she started school this last Tuesday. Here are some pictures of her from her first day of school and one of Rylee on Aliyah's second day of school because she is feeling left out! She is having fun and learning lots at school and on assignments they give us for at home, too. She has been waiting for this since she heard the word school!!! Yay Aliyah!
