A Practical Joke

It seems like any day that we can sleep in, we don't. However, about 85% of the days we can't sleep in, we feel like we could sleep for three more hours. At least it seems that way since we were planning on getting up at 8:30 today and were both wide awake by 7:30. We were hoping to save up some sleep before our whirlwind Christmas visit with the families. I'm pretty sure by Thursday morning we'll be draggin' ourselves around on just barely enough sleep. I say that like it's a bad thing. We really like visiting our folks (and friends too) so we have a tendency to stay up quite late and usually rise relatively early as well. It'll be a fun trip of course.
Today we're going to hang out in Ballard for a while before heading to Fauntleroy to pick up Sarah's parents. Then we are all going to The Lion King at the Paramount. I've heard that it's really good, but I didn't really pay much attention when I watched the movie so I'm not sure what the story is all about (yes I know it involves lions and some type of monarchy).
Okay, time to do all the last minute packing and getting ready that we didn't want to do last night. Off to the races!
