Family time

I recently went looking for containers, boxes and organizational materials for my desk at home. I did not have much luck, but I did come across these cool tea tins. I loved the look, loved that they had tea in them, and loved the "recycle" aspect of them. They now hold pens, markers, scissors, knifes and other desk stuff. And they were probably 1/4 the cost of real desk stuff. On a different note... The four of us went out to dinner tonight and it was SO nice. We went to Olive Garden - not for the food, but for the dinner together. We had a gift certificate so it was a good excuse. I must say, it was just delightful. It was nice to have someone else cook, it was nice to sit and talk with John. The boys were so good, they colored and we actually talked about our day. For some reason, when we are at home, there is always a distraction, I am always getting someone a drink, telling someone to get back in their seat, John and I are screaming over children, the phone is ringing...you get the picture. Well, it was just so nice to sit together, eat, talk and BE a family. Then it was nice to walk out and not have to do the dishes! Remind me to do that more often, okay?
