Outside Temp: 43 (high of 66... I couldn't ask for better!!)

What I cooked today:
Nothing... we went into town for dinner.

Update:
Totally busy day today! 

I worked at the post office until 1:30, then ran over to the school to work until 3:30.  I had a great day in our Web Design class.  Today was the first official day of their class, so we actually had something to do.  I don't think there is anything worse than bored teenagers.  The last week and half, they were just killing time until their class started.  We were able to get through all of their assignments and there was only a minimal amount of grumbling or complaining.  Woo hoo!

After school, Connor worked on his 7th grade Science homework.  We are not sure when he will be able to officially start the 7th grade, but we don't want him too far behind on his class work.  So, he will be doing the assignments at home until such time as he can officially be in class. 

Then, since we had to run into Great Falls to get Ryan's dressing changed, we decided to bring all the kids into town with us as soon as practice was over.  Allen brought the tablet computer, so he could work on his homework.  Connor has his computer, so he could work on his story.  Ryan had his IPad, so he could play games and Katie brought her book, so she could read.  The car ride was amazingly quiet and there was no fighting or complaining. 

We stopped for dinner, got a few groceries, got gas for the car and then headed into the hospital, where the nurses were ready to change his dressing on his line.  The kids hung out in the 'waiting room', where Allen finished his homework and everyone behaved.  Ryan got his dressing changed pretty quickly (in less than 20 minutes, since we just had to chat with our nurses), and then we headed back home.

It was great to have Allen be able to grab his USB drive from the tablet, plug it into the main computer, and print off his homework for 2 different classes with no problems. 

Tomorrow, I get to substitute teach for the PE/Business/Accounting teacher, which I'm sure will be fun.  Okay, not the PE part, but the business and accounting part!  I really hated PE in school...
