In the middle of writing this post Juniorette presented herself to me with the above addition to today's wardrobe. Gawd, the kid has style. For your edification, her left arm houses the Silly Bandz that garner a huge payoff when traded (she got fifteen Bandz for a phoenix), whereas the right arm has the more mundane bands that form the backbone of the Silly Bandz business. I know a lot of parents are against them but honestly, if they're going to learn negotiation, insider trading, and market manipulation at this age (and trust me, the schoolyard Silly Bandz microcosm is rife with all of it), it might as well be on something bright and happy that you can match to your underwear.
Anyway, it's a gorgeous day here; the sky reminds me of my years living in Albuquerque, which I just loved. Today we are going to plunk ourselves at the park with enough supplies to last for hours (i.e yarn, magazines, food, drinks.) I love to spread out a blanket and chat to the various parents that I've come to know over the past couple of years.
Potential weekend plans:
1. Bake bread (didn't I say that earlier this week? Totally hasn't happened.)
2. Ditto Junior's quilt. Sorry kiddo, I do love you and you will have a quilt by the time Buzz Lightyear is a washed up loser in your little mind.
3. Finish up a knitting bag I'm making from this and this. Great combo, huh? Aren't you just DYING for one?
4. A road trip with the kids to here on Sunday when Husband is working.
5. A free moment to read my current book (like, maybe when I'm peeing?)
6. And hopefully to the beach as a family tomorrow!
