yesterday.....
Apr. 10th, 2006 10:03 amyesterday was an interesting day.
We got up for early Palm Sunday service instead of the main one, as we had guests coming. And, since we got up early, we arrived slightly late. But, we were all dressed (da boy in his cute outfit, da girl in her pretty dress, and me and da elf in all black "for Lent", which we apparently celebrate all year. We're the good penitents, we are...). After we sang the good hymns and the homily was over, we paused for the Peace, at which time da Firfey said, loudly, "It's Over? Already?" She got to stand up at the altar as they did the eucharistic prayers, which was fun for her and the other kids who were constantly looking for family and waving during the solemn bits.
After service we went to the grocery store to get milk. Apparently $180 worth of milk. I think other groceries were in the basket, too, but as we were there to get milk, I can't say. Lots of milk, I'm sure, is important to our house.
We ran into "W" from GoodEats while there, too. She's got a cute kid, and her husband drives the same minivan that we do. We tried not to be too fanboyish, so didn't rush up and gush or anything. Just smiled across the aisle, and went on to getting the milk and whatever else we got to support it in our house.
We started putting things away when we got home (milk into the fridge) and found ants had discovered a way through the seal at the top of my container of Hawaiian honey, so it went away, and we began the war of caulked aggression for the next few hours. Things were removed from cabinets, sorted, tossed, or replaced in better combinations, as we continued to crush ants and caulk new openings. Fun!
Then our guests arrived.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sumobabe and her kidlet came over for a playdate, and the firfey and friend ran around together, making da boy a little fussy for being left out a lot. Eventually da Munchkin got home, and we did a trial run of babysitting while the adults went out for sushi. Good stuff, and the kids seemed to warm up to each other. I think it was a good thing.
Then, all too soon, our guests departed for home. The kids did bathtime, da elf assembled some shelves and hung them on her closet wall, and we watched a PBS special on visiting England and Wales. When it got to da Munchkin's bedtime, we all went up to get rest ahead of an early return to school.
And I still don't know how well I did on my paper. Piffle.
