Where do you want to go today, Paela? The toy store. She says. And so Wayne and the girls went to the toy story a couple of days when it was too too hot to stay outside. And the mall play area.
And then when hurricane Earl was cooling things down for us (it didn't get much more intense than a bit of rain for us), they joined forces with Cameron and Camilla to visit the zoo. Paela reported that her favorite part of the zoo was when the birds landed on her hands. She got to feed some seeds to a bunch of birds, and she talked about birds landing on hands for the last couple of days. Happily, Aderyn tolerated the stroller for the zoo visit (normally she screams and screams when we try and use the stroller and we thank heavens for the moby), since she got to sit next to her favorite cousin Cameron.
It was a pretty calm week. In retrospect perhaps we should have done something exciting since Wayne starts teaching this week. But then, we were all sick for a lot of the week. Some of us more than others. Aderyn one night woke up every half hour. (I just loved that......) Wayne had to sleep in a sitting position so his own coughing wouldn't wake him up. And Paela had a fever and told us how cold she was, poor girl. Surprisingly, I kept a low profile for this particular bug.
Wayne made a couple of fun trades on craigslist for paintings. People are sometimes more willing to trade paintings for things like a kindle or a network printer. And we are happy to receive.
And today we're off to go play with Camilla and Victor and Cameron. As soon as naptime is over.
