Same ol'

It's been a few days since my last post, and I'm feeling this naggy urge to get on and write something....but what?  There's not much going on here.

We are doing the usual workweek-to-weekend, preschool pickup and dropoff, craft playgroup on Mondays, two-naps-one-nap-every-other-day-nap juggling, what-are-we-going-to-have-for-dinner routine.  Wish I had something more exciting to tell you.

Recent roses:
   Catherine loves to wave.  She waves at everyone in the Queen's style.  Even our British neighbors say she waves like the Queen, so you know it's true!  She is so proud of herself.

   Lawrence is working hard to be dry through the night, and he is succeeding!

   Everett has been eating SO MUCH FOOD lately that we are sure he is getting ready to grow.

   We have some new friends from Minnesota who moved in up the street, and we really like them.  

   We found matching chairs for our new table - same wood and everything.  They are ultra-modern looking, and it's an antique/modern juxtaposition that works.  We also made it to Ikea for chair cushions.  Amazing!


   It rained today!



Recent thorns:
   We've been out of milk for two days and can't seem to get to the commissary to get more.

   There is not much to do here for fun.  The kids are bored already and it's still January.

   The lady who runs E and L's preschool told me that Lawrence may no longer wear shortalls because the teachers find it too hard to get them up and down for the potty.  The last vestages of my former life have now been swept away.  

   Today I got so mad that I ripped my abaya off in the car (on camp) and threw it out the car window.  Of course I had to go back and get it later (in the rain) so I can sew it up and wear it again.  


So that's life over here these days.  Hopefully something good will happen soon that will be worth reporting.  And we hear there's been some crazy weather back home...enjoy the thunderstorms for me.
