Weekend fun!

Our friends Tiff and Ben and their daughters Pippa and Clara came to visit us on Friday and Saturday and we had the best time! Nathanial is in love love love with Clara and Clara seemed to like him as well (although not in the goddess like way Nate worshipped her). Pippa found true love with Snoopy, who loved her right back. Pippa is the one kid that doesn't mind when Snoopy licks her face. It even seemed to make her giggle. Snoopy, in a stunning display of affection and reciprocity, let Pippa crawl after him, touch his nose, pat him, and generally be all over him. Snoopy likes all the childrens, but I think Pippa has a special place in his heart. We took some pictures and hope to have them up soon. For me it was lovely having Tiff and Ben come for the weekend. First, it's awesome to have other parents around since most of our friends don't have kids, but mostly it's cause they are so great to be around (I know you will read this Tiff and I'm not just trying to score points!), and we have history y'all. We've known each other for so long but hardly see them and they us, and I can't help thinking that I want them around all the time so our kids can grow up together, and we could garden together and stuff (okay now I'm getting all smushy). We love you guys!

Today we had a lovely coffee date with Lori and Paul and Sosi, and Sosi had the best new haircut! That little girl is just too cool for school. JJ Bean was just hopping so we sat outside and didn't even get rained on. Lori and I went shopping up Main Street, drinking Chai and enjoying the time as only escaped mummies can. As mummies, we also had to make obligatory purchases for our offspring (he needs shorts and she would look adorable in this dress) but also managed to score some very very cool shoes for our fine selves. I had a fantastic time and am just a bit sad that I'll have to wait for fall to wear my warm Camper boots (50% off y'all-how to resist?).

It's back to work tomorrow and probably more overtime this week, but I'll have the lovely warm glow of the weekend to keep me company.

I'm annoyed

There are too many multigenerational quirky womeny movies starring Jane Fonda and whattsername...Diane Keaton, that's it (or of the JF, DK ilk). I was going to say that this is an unfortunate trend, but it isn't...it's a whole thing isn't it? Like all women are smushy and we will automatically be absolutely charmed by this sort of thing. Blek.

And tonight's Grey's Anatomy is just an excuse to sell this new spin off show, which I am already not so much sold on.

And Anaheim just knocked Vancouver out of the Stanley Cup.

I gotta tell you that today has been a mixed bag of weirdness ending with Tequila, yes folks today merited a Tequila or three.

Mostly cause I am annoyed.
