Another busy weekend. Gymnastics on Saturday morning with special guest Buppie, lunch with Aidan and Laurie, a playdate on Saturday afternoon with a set of twins from M&A’s class, some babysitting from Buppie on Saturday night, errands this morning, and (old) Aidan’s birthday party this afternoon, capped off by dinner with Frank and Peyton and Addie and Sam afterwards. Wow – lots of friends and lots of play.

A’s ballet obsession continues. She wants to wear her tutu dress at all times – upon waking up, after nap, before bed, etc. We finally had to tell her that she can’t wear it at the dinner table. If I can’t machine wash it, then she can’t wear it around food.

Girls were generally in great moods, minus a few touchy spots with A. Luckily, A’s sneezing has basically stopped so hopefully we have staved off a cold.

I skipped blogging yesterday and as a result, I can’t remember anything pithy or funny that they said yesterday. This is why I have to blog every day – my memory just isn’t what it used to be!

Must share this email "exchange" between M and Elmo that I *might* have helped facilitate a bit:
