Relaxing day

Before we went to bed last night, Nelda called to tell us that Marie had passed away at 9:15 pm. We all felt very sad for Nancy. We found out later in the day that the funeral will be on Saturday at Noon, so Nancy planned on coming home on Monday and then coming with the family next Wednesday. We will be so excited to see them all!! I was so excited to have an "easy" day today. The best part was that Chris got to be home before Jason had to go to practice, so Rachel and I stayed at home and played cards. We eat supper later on Tuesdays and Thursdays now, but it works out so much better, because then the kids aren't begging for snacks before bed. While the boys were gone, Rachel and I went to Toys R Us to look for the present she wants to get Jason for his birthday. She would like to get him a new binder for his baseball and basketball cards, but we can't seem to find one at the several stores we visited. We were excited to find kites though, b/c the they have both wanted to fly kites since winter is almost over, and we have seen people at the parks flying them.
