What a weekend. La Petite and her boyfriend went to Lollapolooza - Lolopalooza - Lollapalooza - you know, the big outdoor rock concert in Chicago. I can't spell it. Can you? She came home full of stories and adventures, one of which involved running into her high school best friend in line for the rest room in the train station. The friend wasn't even headed for the festival; she was on her way home from grad school in Iowa.
Amigo had another visit with his baby cousin, this time at our house. Baby, post nap and post supper, sat in our living room on a blanket, playing with toys that used to be Amigo's. Buttercup the bunny approached her with curiosity, nudged and sniffed this tiny visitor. The tiny visitor WAILED her displeasure. I caged bunny. Amigo, finished eating, sat down with baby and entertained her, and all was well.
The next day SIL and I took advantage of morning nap time to go secondhand shopping. She found baby clothes and a cool jacket; I found a pair of jeans in my brand & my size for $2.25. w00t!!
Finally settled at home, after a good night's sleep, daughter and I are bonding over sushi and old episodes of Glee.
Simple pleasures, indeed. It's great to see the kids growing up, enjoying each other, having fun. It doesn't make for dramatic blog posts, but it does make a happy family.
