We made it home from an amazing vacation at the coast (Manzanita) and the re-entry today has been hard. Lots of weird mail, car issues that involved no AC on the drive home and an emergency trip to get engine coolant, 100's of spam e-mails (literally) to deal with, and lots of screaming kids--ugh.
The girls were so happy at the beach, just laying around either in sand or in bed all day with us.It's amazing how happy they are when we (the parental units) do nothing. It made us pretty happy too. I managed to finished one small quilt and get a good start on 3 others. My hope is to make these into note-cards soon. That's the plan anyway. . . I brought books (thanks again for the amazing tips in the comments. I can't believe all the suggestions, a gold mine, I tell you!) I ended up bringing trashy magazines. I left the book thing until the last minute, and ran out of time. The magazines were depressing, actually. Thank god I picked up the new Martha while I was there.
This small quilt here is called "You're not going to get far in that thing." and it's a sad cat paddling a clog, which obviously, is not a boat. He is confused about all this.
Okay, now laundry, water the fall veggie starts that I planted too early and got fried, and we are out of food. Sadie's new obsession is to wear a suit like Thing 1 and Thing 2 in Cat in the Hat. Which means it not only has to have built in feet, but also gloves. . .this should be interesting. And I can't say I blame her. Delia will be Thing 2, of course, willing or not. And if I do get said suit for Sadie - she will not take it off. For days. This has been a new thing with her pj's. She wears them in the house at all times. We are on week 3 of this. She wants to wear "normal clothes" when we go out because she says that "other kids might want to wear my jammies." True that.
