Summer: Wed., 7/10

Laziest morning ever. Greta got up at 8am and began reading. Lucia didn't get up till 10am, and then she sorted Rainbow Loom bands into a new organizer case. Then they both read. It was quickly noon, and we went to the pool for a couple of hours. We had lunch there. I never thought I'd be a person who lets her kids eat daily meals at a pool snack bar, but there we are. AND IT'S FANTASTIC. Who needs to cook when you can make a meal out of cheese fries and mozzarella sticks? The kids spent most of their time at the pool in the diving tank, jumping off the diving boards.

We came home to change clothes and then I dropped Lucia off at her friend's house for a playdate (the same friend who's moving). Greta and I went into town to browse the selection of Maileg mice at a toystore. Then we went home and Greta played with her Mailegs.

Andrew got home from Cleveland not long after we picked up Lucia, and I made tortilla pizzas for dinner. Then we all helped clean up the house since the housecleaners come tomorrow. There was a bit of drama when Greta couldn't find one of the pillows for her Maileg bed, until I found it inside a smaller bed she'd created for a miniscule Hello Kitty figurine. The girls are very excited to have discovered that dresses from their Calico Critters fit the Maileg mice. This is very good news, because a single, two-inch-long Maileg-brand outfit is $18. Cross THAT off my shopping list (ha ha ha).

Fully enjoying the new AC. Bliss.
