This weekend was extraordinarily busy. I am not sure I remember Saturday, but I do know that I got up and went to a 7:30 a.m. eyedoctor appointment. Anne went to a baby shower somewhere in there, and I mowed the lawn, and then Anne went to cantor at Church.

Today, I got up and went to early Mass (7:00), then came home. We played with the kids, etc., until Anne left at 9:45 to go to prepare to sing with the St. Pius Festival Choir - today was the annual Church picnic. Anne came back around 10 mins after 1:00 - at that point I was kidded out, as both Claire and Mads were rather…high-energy…today. Fortunately, Mads took a nice nap from 1:00 - 2:30, so she was well rested when we went back to the picnic from 2:30 - 4:00. Then we went shopping and came home. Anne wasn’t feeling well, so she took a catnap and I played with and fed the girls. She got up, and I gave Claire a bath (she was diiiirty) - then I read Claire some stories and I put her in bed while Anne was putting Mads in bed. Claire proceeded to be up and down for the next hour, until I finally went up and snuggled her, told her she had to be good and stay in bed. So, she did. (I have to remember to ask first, threaten later.)
