We went to Vermont Saturday and ate this. YUM!!!
We also took the kids to the aquatic center where Lex and Eve take swim lessons. It's a very cool place -- splash park, current pool, even a water slide that goes outside and back in again. The water was bath-water warm. Lex and Eve are amazing swimmers! Molly had a great time splashing around. We all did.
Jim walked around with Kate in the carrier and even got her to nap for a while. I like his surly self-portrait. :)
Molly had such a good time playing with the kids and eating good food. We left right on time and would have almost been a normal day except that instead of falling asleep in the car at bedtime Molly talked non-stop for an hour. She told us about a boy named Badger who has short hair on one side of his head and long hair on the other who can only say words that start with B, then engaged us in a game of "think of words that start with B." It must be a sign of how tired we all are that that was actually entertaining and somewhat challenging.
So yesterday Molly was exhausted. At dinner I told her she looked sleepy and she broke into tears and whimpered, "When do the clocks change back?" I almost didn't have the heart to tell her that it wouldn't be until we were all quite used to this new time that the evil people who invented daylight savings would make us switch again. It's a cruel world.
Fortunately she slept well last night and we've all been in a good mood today. I think it's fantastic to have a day when most of the neighborhood kids are in school and my little girls are home with me to rest, just us. (Especially after yesterday when we realized our entire family's plan for the afternoon hinged on whether Teddy was actually going to stay in our yard to play with Molly or snub our child and play across the street with some 9-year-old girl who just moved in)
Molly, on the other hand, has been complaining all day that there are no kids to play with. She just can't get enough!
