Girls had a busy Oscar Sunday. Sunday School, then we went to Grandma Sandy's for a brunch with some of our cousins. The girls made a few friend - a girl who lives next door to Grandma Sandy – and they played in her backyard for a long time. They were digging things up and collecting treasures – rocks and glass. Apparently, they also played a duet on the piano.

Tonight, we had an early bath and I got things all ready early so that we could watch the red carpet arrivals. M&A like to check out the dresses. M said a lot of very astute things – such as "[Meryl Streep's] dress looks like a bathrobe." and "I don't like [Charlize Theron's] dress because it looks like there are flowers on her boobs." and "I think [Gabourey Sidibe] is F-A-T, but I am happy that she found a dress that fits her."

All true.

I did rush the girls into bed right on time tonight – 8:30 – because I wanted to be in situ for the kickoff of the Oscars.

One thing – I told A tonight that Georg from "The Sound of Music" was going to be at the Oscars. We found a shot with him in it, and she was visibly shocked by how he looks. She was expecting 1960s Christopher Plummer.
