I got caught out in a heavy rain storm with Dylan and Snuffy. It was not entirely unexpected because it was starting as we went down the driveway, but the beasts and I don't mind a little rain. Dylan was on her tricycle, which she greatly prefers to the stroller. Lesson of the day: people are deeply alarmed by a baby in the rain. Once it really got going strangers started pouring (so to speak) out of their houses to offer us umbrellas and shelter. In fact, babies are waterproof. It was raining so hard that each drop made a big splash on the sidewalk. Snuffy felt the need to personally investigate each one. Later on I took Snuffy running and he tried very hard to run after a skunk, which I was luckily able to nix. Speaking of skunks, we have a book that has a scratch-and-sniff skunk sticker. Weird, right? Sort of like foul-tasting jelly beans. Who would ever buy and encourage others to eat those?
I call this "Portrait of a Dirty Snuff on Clean Laundry"
Aaron and I were paging through the FAO Schwartz catalog because that's the kind of thing we do for fun, and we noticed the section advertising gift certificates. They come in many denominations, for example: $5 (this couldn't purchase a single thing in the catalog), $50 (fair enough, that's how much a lot of stuff costs in there), $1000 (hmmm, that's getting pricey, but some of the things even cost that much), $50,000 (holy crap), and $100,000 (?!!!!). They do have some excellent, if inordinately expensive, stuffed animals though.
