1. The Olympics. Jake and I watched part of the opening ceremonies last night. With all the bad stuff you hear in the news all the time, and with all the troubles that go on in the world- its pretty cool to see the world come together and celebrate greatness! And WOW- you forget just HOW MANY countries and people there are in this world.... it gets my travel bug revving. *sigh* It is cool to think that Jake and I MIGHT get to go to see Beijing at the beginning of next year though (if Magellan signs on enough new business for certain health car provider they pay for the airfare and accommodation!

2. Disney Movie Club. I decided to sign up for this and finally start building our kid movie collection a little more (I was planning for our upcoming road trip to Colorado- and figured I might as well get a few movies for less at an attempt to keep the boys entertained). Today we got all of our "free" ones plus a discounted one. I broke my own rule and pulled out Tarzan tonight for us to watch. The music in that is SO great- which is probably what led to....

3. Our family jam session. After the movie we had about an hour to kill to bedtime. Josh recently got a new toy guitar that is pretty dang cool. So when I suggested Josh go find it so we could play with it, he came up with a better idea! He found not only his guitar, but his toy drum, microphone, and keyboard too. We each took turns with our instruments and rocked out together. Dekker was even bobbing his head! It sounded horrible of course- but WE had fun!
