I guess its a good thing for some people. Hubby has to work Saturday so thats not that great. Good for the money but bad for the stuff that needs to be done around the house. Girls have gymnastics today. Its nice but sitting around for 2 hours smelling stinky feet isn't that great. Ever notice that the skating rink and gymnastics gym smell that way? The funny part about it is the gymnastics place use to sell candles. One good thing about hubby working Saturday it will give us time to get his shirt done for fathers day. I think we agreed on the shirt that says Daddy of 3 since he will be soon and I'll let the girls do their hands on the back. We will just have to add little ones hands when she comes out. Ok enough about me lets see some good stuff.

We want them to learn another language and there are alot of good reviews about this program. If I like it, I will order more of the hooked on phonics programs. If you didn't change your homepage yet to swagbucks your really missing out. I search for everything on the web and get alot of points just for doing that through swagbucks. It doesn't hurt if you have people under you. Just doing their daily poll you get 1 point, download their toolbar and get another point everyday.
