today was babysitting co-op and i was on duty with ada's mom, fyffe. the kids did really great - a few minor pushing and toy snatching episodes, but pretty good all in all. unfortuately, my camera batteries died about 5 minutes into it, so i missed many cute shots. next time i will remember to recharge. adella is starting to get into trains, ever since stig and i took her to barnes and noble to play with the thomas train set, and wouldn't you know, ada has a thomas train set too! adella was pretty excited about this, as were henry and noah, so the three of them had quite a time putting the track together and pushing the little cars around it. it's nice to know that b&n is just down the road, and the train table will keep her happily playing while i read a magazine. and a good rainy day destination too. i'm off to the medicaid office again this afternoon, and adella will go over to elijah's to play. at least one of us will have some fun. oh, and speaking of fun, this evening i have to go to super wal-mart to do some grocery shopping. i have such mixed feelings about wal-mart. i know they are evil and all, but the prices are just so good, i can't help it. still, there is something rather obscene about the too big-ness of it all. one day when we are rich, i will only buy organic food from local businesses. for now, there is super wal-mart.
