Summer: Fri., 8/25
A day at home. Too mild outside for the pool. L&G played outside for most of the day, mainly riding flash riders and playing in the playhouse. We read more of The Doll People Set Sail. We looked at some pictures of them as toddlers (my first photo book arrived today!).
The day progressed. They colored in their metallic coloring books in the basement for a while, which devolved somehow into arguing, and they wouldn't stop or come upstairs or listen, and I threw their coloring books in the trash, to much hysteria. (I took them back out, of course.) Keeping it real, people. It ain't all DIY Calico Critter furniture around here. (But we/I did sew tiny Calico Critter sleeping bags today, later, and before bedtime Lucia set up a little CC campsite, with a little elephant in the sleeping bag, claiming that camping was the elephant's dream come true.)
That's it, really. Flash riders were the focus, with some reading and Calico Critters thrown in.
I went to the dreaded Short Hills Mall tonight to return a backpack to Pottery Barn Kids, which was a pain, but at least the girls have finally made their final choices for backpacks and lunch boxes. And I have all their school supplies, except for any additional requests sent along with teacher assignments next week. Haircuts next week, and a day of shopping for a few back-to-school outfits. And then...*sob* summer nears its end.
