The past week

So in the past week the following happened--

Sunday -- We had a birthday party for Evie - never give hairbrushes as a party gift because...

Monday -- We have a lice scare (and treatment) with Juliette - phone calls to all birthday party participants ensue (as well as school)

Tuesday -- Jennifer goes out with friends for the evening. Juliette throws up in Bruce's lap

Wednesday -- Evie catches a cold

Thursday -- Juliette, Evie, and Jennifer go the aquarium in Baltimore to meet friends, see dolphins. Cry! Dolphins splash small children, another parental error in judgement (they really WON'T splash us if we sit here in the splash zone.)

Friday -- House cleaned - Hurray! Mommy and Evie go to story time at the library and she isn't the wildest child in the room (double Hurray! Mrs. Huggins is working!!!) Juliette and Mommy go to Borders and read books. Highlights include Angelina's Halloween (Mommy is a sellout) and Sleeping Beauty (disney claptrap).

What will the weekend bring for pestilence, famine or plague? Stay tuned.

P.S. You haven't lived until you have heard the Manise sisters sing I've Been Working on the Railroad. Rush to the phone and dial us before they grow out of it!
