So I went to Lauren's house to use hers and hung out there for a while. 3/11/09 I babysat today and it was fine. I didn't walk into any doors, so it was a good day. I think the kids are getting sick of how badly I cook because today the oldest decided to make a tarte instead of having me cook. While I was there, I got ...

... to stay with the kids and cook waffles while we are gone! : ) I'm talking so much smack to the French team of Franck and Vincent, knowing full well that they are going to DESTROY Janice and I. We aren't even close to being in the same league. But we will play our best! ... A quick trip in the car and we arrive at Franck's club and go inside. A quick warmup and we begin.
