yay! the weekend! that is what i should be saying, but as many of you know, i work on the weekends, so weekends are my workdays. oh well. 5:30 comes early, and to make matters just a bit worse, i woke up and got ready to take my shower and found out we had NO WATER! i fully expected to find a basement full of water, but thankfully it was just a broken water main in the neighborhood. i washed my hair in a bowl of drinking water and scurried off to work. adella and stig had a fun day - they actually came to visit me at work, which is always a nice surprise. and the old people love seeing little folks around, so it brightened their day too. if i could get stig to post a blog entry, he could tell about the fun adventures they had, but he still is not convinced. i think their day mostly consisted of going to the music store to get his new baby (mandolin) calibrated or whatever the technical term is. we did get started planning the mulch bed for adella's playground, which is definitely a promising start. then i got to go by myself to the yarn store (25% off all yarn!) and got yarn for a few projects i am starting... i'll post pics when they are done. while i was there, i picked up some washable markers for adella, because lately she is really into markers. it's great - i'm so glad she is so into drawing and art and crafty things. i've been waiting to do crafts with her since the day she was born! she really enjoys drawing, and i must say, she has wonderful control and good use of color. she makes very precise little marks usually, and i think she drew a '6' today. adella's latest impossibly cute activity: she said "bless you" when i sneezed! she is also saying 'oh my gosh!' and shushing me and stig at completely random moments.
