I am constantly amazed by the concept of relativity. Today, for instance, we got to sleep in!! Great day in the Waller house. Now, when we were a young couple - sleeping in meant sleeping until noon. Funny how having kids changes that. Now we're dancing the jig because Chris and Olivia slept in until a bit after seven, and Elliott and I slept in until almost eight!! How decadent (albeit sad) is that??

It's another rainy and gray day here. I was hoping for better weather for Wine and Tulips tonight - but believe me - we'll still go and have a mighty fine time of it!!! We have gone with the same couple for a number of years now - maybe five. Steve Minkel is an independent painter (very good at what he does) who does a lot of work with Chris. We always have a good time with Steve and Betsy - they give us insight on the freedom that awaits when your kids are grown-up and out of the house. Life after poopy diapers and homework and scraped knees. It's still quite a ways in the future for us.

The girls are looking forward to spending the night at Grandma Diane and Papa Roger's. My only fear is that there will be argument over who gets to sleep in the Pooh Blow-Up bed. I will have to see if I can find another Blow-Up bed since they both seem to think it's the bomb.

Elliott continues to be completely fascinated by puppy dogs, and spends a lot of time pretending to be a doggy. This morning she had the tie from my robe and it was her leash. She was trying to get Olivia to walk her, but Olivia was completely engrossed in her Saturday morning cartoons. Saturday morning cartoons are big for her - it makes me glad that we don't have cable - I'd be battling the cartoon network every day.

Well - I'd better get moving. Mad vacuuming awaits.... : )
