Saturday evening, after a day filled with kite-flying, sandwich-eating (thanks again, Cat & Garriy), and naps, we all walked to Winslow’s Home for dinner. The weather was gorgeous and the light beautiful as the sun slowly set between the trees.<\/p>\n

Cheers! Milk box to beer<\/em><\/p>\n

And that evening I haven’t laughed so hard in months. After the kids were in bed, we all sat around reading excerpts from this book<\/a>\u00a0and attempted to analyze one another’s astrological strengths and shortcomings through our relationships with each other. Quite entertaining, I must say.<\/p>\n

Poor Cat and Garriy must still <\/em>be recovering from the shocking lack of sleep that ensues once one enters our front door and dares spend the night here. Oliver’s half-hourly <\/em>wake-up calls all through the night became almost comical. Almost. And we all awoke Sunday morning with bags under our eyes and fuzzy brains. Like having a hangover without the alcohol! Alright, there was a bit<\/em> of alcohol involved.<\/p>\n

One, two, three, four… I declare a thumb war!<\/em><\/p>\n

But don’t blame Oliver. I should have known what was in store for us on Friday morning, when, after shutting off the vacuum, I went to look for him and found him like this:\"DSC_0008\"\"DSC_0013\"<\/p>\n

… sound asleep on the floor. Poor little guy. Yeah, I’ll keep chanting that to myself tonight instead of that other thing I have been chanting. “Poor little guy” sounds so much more motherly anyway.<\/p>\n

Thanks for some great memories, Cat and Garriy, and come back anytime… if you dare!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
