I have been VERY bad about posting recently. I got home Friday with a migraine that wiped me out, and last night Daddy and I went out to dinner and I didn't post when I got home. But I am back with a new by-the-numbers post and lots of pics.

New sectional sofas in the house: 1!

Hours of sleep the girls got last night at sleepover at Lily's: indeterminate, but not more than 7 and likely a lot less.

Fresh books in the girls' book baskets: about 8 each

Extra boxes of Girl Scout cookies bought: 3 (yes, MORE!)

Properties in Monopoly game on which M has built hotels: 3

7th birthday parties planned: 1, at least initially, with a room reserved and activity planned (May 8 at 3 PM, dance party)

After-school activities registered: 1 (Tennis on Mondays)

Camp weeks reserved: 1, at Round House Theater, in addition to three weeks at Levine Camp

Things crossed off Mommy's to-do list: many!

Entertaining statements made by M&A this weekend: way too many to count

Here is a photoessay of the Changing of the Couch. We got a new one because the old one was looking a bit dingy, and it had a bare patch on the arm where M has been doing "Stick Your Blankie" since she was very little. As you can see, she started doing it on the new one right away.
