Jack has gotten to be good friends with Jeffery. They are both in the same kindergarten class and spend the afternoon together at the extended day. They share some common interests, including the Kings; Jeffery parents also have season tickets for the Kings.

Jack and Jeffery started talking about two months ago about having a sleep over at each other house. We talked to the Jeffery's parents at a couple of events, including the auction, and ended up setting up something for this weekend.

Jeffery came over about 2:00 p.m. He and Jack have spent the afternoon playing basketball, ping pong, air hockey and NBA 2004 and Madden 2004 on the computer, racing slot cars, wrestling, watching cartoons and helping Sharon make some brownies.

I spent most of the mid-day outside mowing, edging and weeding. Afterwards, I worked on restarting a project in the upstairs hall that we actually started November 1. We have not done much entertaining over the last four months so we have not been movitated to finish the project. With some things now starting to get on the calendar, we are making finishing the hall project a higher priority.
