I really just want to write about Wednesday, actually. I wanted to write about Wednesday ON Wednesday...but Blogger isn't really cooperating with my laptop this week! (I'm posting from the family desktop.)
Wednesday, I was on Amelie duty...like. All day. Oy.
Everyone was home until about noon. I actually had a leetle break and went out with Abbie to buy a wedding gift for some friends from work, who are getting married in the square tomorrow. (SIDENOTE: this is the first wedding I will be attending, that my parents weren't invited to. This may be a sign of encroaching adulthood.) Abbie dropped me back home around three, and I skyped with my sister from another mother who is studying abroad in Barcelona right now! Yeah, first off. Jealous! However, she says waffles and pancakes are virtually nonexistent there, so... 1 point for me, 99 points for her.
After that, the house cleared out- the girls had church, Mom and Ethan had a swim meet..who knows where Dad was. So what did we do?
We turned on Pandora, we got out Dad's pickling spices- i.e. mustard seed and some dill stuff, and we had a dance party to the Glen Miller Orchestra.
All in all, this:
Plus this (i.e., maraca in disguise):
Plus some rad dancing with a two year old...
Equals a pretty good time.
