another quick update, because i am tiiiiired tonight. we skipped the new dawn picninc yesterday and i spent the afternoon mulching the garden instead. adella tried to help but only really succeeded in ripping one of my tomato plants to bits. the garden fun was over after that, and she was in bed by 7:00. this morning was knitting, at jessie's this time. it was fun, but i did not get as much knitting done as i'd hoped due to jessie serving coffee and muffins! i would have thought that the coffee would speed up my knitting action, but instead i just jabbered away and forgot the knitting in my hands. this afternoon was pretty boring - rain kept us inside... i did manage to fold a basket of laundry, so at least i was a little productive. and tomorrow, bright and early, amy and i are on co-op duty for 7 little two-year-olds. they'll all be coming to our house, so i'm really hoping for nice weather so we can be outside (but not in the garden, hopefully). oh, and... papa and pippi are coming to visit! we just got word that their trip is set for july 20th. we're all looking forward to seeing them again. and it sounds like we'll be going back to the aquarium in gatlinburg again too, so i know adella will be thrilled about that too. papa and pippi and fish! oh my!
