I didn't post for two nights – fell asleep both nights on the couch before midnight, so I didn't post in time. Now getting it under the wire at 11:33 PM…

We had a pretty mellow weekend. It rained a lot, so we stayed inside a fair amount. Daddy took the girls to the video store yesterday, and they came home with 8 videos. So far we have watched: Music Man (not a hit, despite the girls loving seeing Emily in the play last fall), Heidi (the Disney version, which brought M to tears on multiple occasions), and a collection of Suite Life with Zach and Cody that the girls had already seen (sadly, a hit). They also hit the library and got a collection of books, one of which they read tonight called Dear Tooth Fairy. A wrote AGAIN to the Tooth Fairy tonight, asking for a picture so that she can see what the Tooth Fairy looks like. Not sure how or if the Tooth Fairy will respond.

Other activities this weekend: I took the girls to ballet yesterday, and then to get cupcakes and to Trader Joe's. Today, after Sunday School, we went to the Wilson Pool.

M is really reading up a storm. A is singing all the time.

Bad Mommy Alert – I taught the girls some songs this weekend that involve potty humor. They love them and have been singing them a lot. Their teacher will not be pleased if they sing it at school.

The girls are playing the piano SOLO in front of the whole school on Friday. M will play "At the Zoo", A will play "Ode to Joy" (by ear), and then they will both play "At the Zoo" on different octaves. I am not sure whether they will back out of it when they see that it is the whole school watching them. I will be watching.

I have a very fun opportunity this week. I am going to London to do a presentation for all of Discovery's international communications teams – people from all over the world. I will talk to them about social media. It's a long way to go for a very short trip – I leave Tuesday and come home Thursday – but it should be fun.

In sad news: the tent in the entryway has been dismantled.
