Weekend, in bullets

• Snuffy and Bear Bear #2 were both here when we got home, thank you very much. (see comments on last post)
• **Public Service Announcement** The following items are available for sale in the SkyMall catalog:
  
• "Do you have little trouble keeping track of the hour and even the date, but the day of the week eludes you?" It's DayClock!
• I like to call this the "I hate myself" brownie pan. Why would you even make brownies without a gooey center section?
• Dylan + sand = FEAR. This is what she does if you try to put her down on the beach:
• Dylan + airports/airplanes/other attendant heavy machinery/the wedding photographer = love.
  
• Aaron and I had to tag team to play in the Bride v. Groom Beach Ultimate Frisbee Game because of a cowering Dylan. There was a rumor we were playing to decide who in the couple would change his/her last name, but that turned out to be sadly false. Although it did prompt a debate among the wedding guests about who had the better last name.
• All pictures over the weekend, aside from those filched from the in-flight catalog, were taken with a non-digital disposable camera. I am so confused about how to get the pictures out of the camera-machine onto my computing-machine.
• You may remember Dylan's penchant for not sleeping during travel from such events as Christmas 2007 and NYC March 2008, after which I swore off having Dylan sleep out of her own bed for more than two nights in a row.
• Which is why we traveled to the coast of North Carolina (2 planes + 4 hours of driving each way) on Friday and came back yesterday.
• We shared a hotel room with my ultimate frisbee superstar friend Annika. Sorry about all of Friday night, Annika!
• I pre-paid for the gas in the rental car, which meant we made a valiant effort to return it with zero gallons in it. At one point the display said we had 12 miles remaining before empty, but then we wimped out and bought 1.5 more gallons. I think we returned it with less than a gallon in it though.
  
• My pathetic attempts to get Dylan to sleep on this trip (and at naptime at daycare also) have centered around the coolest sleeping bag ever. Seriously, this picture does not do it justice, it's got all these different textures and fabrics. (child not included)
• The wedding itself was also on the beach. It was in the evening, and that morning we woke up to a raging storm. We were disappointed, and also not too sure there was a plan B. Then around 4:00pm the skies cleared and the birds chirped and it was perfect out and all was well.
  
• I'm sure Dylan meant no disrespect by talking through the whole ceremony and scribbling all over the program. Congratulations Anne & Pat!
• Our Memorial Day Plans include: staring at the wall in a tired daze.
