Day at the Beach

While I was in nursing Dylan in the new room, one of the teachers was doing an activity with the babies. Or, more accurately, she had given herself an activity: stop the babies from eating the bite-sized pieces of tissue paper she had given them.

The past two days have been really hot and muggy. A barbeque and picnic at Lake Ontario (now with 50% more algae!) seemed like a reasonable reaction to the heat. Except that the minute we got there it dropped 15 degrees and the wind picked up and the law showed up. After a dog romp and swim the barbeque got relocated to our driveway, where it started raining. Luckily at vegetarian barbeques everything cooks in like three minutes.

We took the Subaru, the car with the trusty, yet-to-malfunction turn signals, in for some brake work yesterday. I'm not even going to guess at how much we are averaging per week on car repairs, but it's substantially more than our dream of zero dollars I'll tell you what.

Dylan's wardrobe has recently expanded quite dramatically. Lesson of the week: despite her chunky limbs and fat cheeks, some pieces may actually look cuter off the baby than on due to their table cloth-like appearance:


Also, the Itsy-Bisty Spider: how funny is that?
