Summer: Fri., 7/13
Another fun day of art classes. At home we had lunch and read Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for 45 minutes--they're really into it. I'd forgotten how wonderful it is. They played inside for a while, I sewed a dress for Lucia's Cabbage Patch Preemie, Joanna, and then the girls went outside. They went to get their Flash Riders out of the garage and complained to me that something smelled really terrible. (When Andrew got home tonight, he confirmed that something has likely died in the garage and he'll have to search for it tomorrow. Welcome home!)
Around 4:30, the girls and I went to the pool for Float Night, which is held every other week or so. On this night you can bring any float you want to the pool. L&G have giant donuts. It's crazy, with the pool crowded with wild floats (giant unicorns, peacocks, flamingos, all kinds of giant foods), but really fun. (The lifeguards hate Float Night--there are about ten of them positioned all around the pool, and a few are even IN the pool, keeping watch for kids who get stuck under the floats. I can totally see why floats are banned on ordinary days.) Lucia ran into a couple of friends. The evening was mild, and after an hour or so both girls got cold, so they got out and had a snack. Andrew arrived at the pool in an Uber from the airport, and we all drove home together.
We scrounged a dinner of leftovers and a few crackers (WELCOME HOME ANDREW!!) and then Andrew relaxed into home life by taking a couple of kitchen drawers out to retrieve some trapped tupperware while I went to Target. A couple of days all together and Andrew will be off again, leaving me and the girls to make our peace with what is surely his secret second family on the West Coast. What-ev. He brought all three of us cute, small Japanese Disney plush, so we'll forgive him. For now.
