Nothing happened this week. April Fool! Really, not much did. The kids and Beth and I muddled through the last week before vacation. Plans are made, we're going tomorrow. However, Beth has come down with something nasty in her ears, nose, and throat. She missed church today and I tried to get our reservations changed to give her a few days to get better (couldn't). It started yesterday. We took the kids to Goshen yesterday afternoon so we could get a poster framed, then when we unrolled it there we found out it was damaged so we didn't. It was an old "Jurassic Park" poster that's been in a closet since 1993. In the evening, our first date night in over a month (what with Katie's wedding coming up and all) we went out to see "The Hunger Games" and to dinner; by the time we got to dinner she was feeling awful. The movie was one we had been looking forward to for a while, even though it got scathing reviews from Laura and Thomas. We liked it more than they did, Beth more than me. I thought it was rushed, and they were trying too hard to keep it at PG-13, and there was no emotion. Tomorrow, we're headed to the windy city for a whirlwind adventure!
