Dave's day off is usually a lot of things. Fun, productive, tiring. Today it was also the cause of this super long blog entry. We pack a lot into our days with Daddy, and I happened to have my camera along for the ride (with a charged battery, even!)

We started with Story time at Fitchburg Community Center. My coffee was too hot to drink at the beginning, so I was cranky. Things improved after coffee.

Story Time brings out a silly side of lily. (yes, shes wearing jeans like a normal kid, she loves them, i'm not ready for it yet)

Really silly

You just had to be there. :)

Lily's friend Gabriel was there. He is lily's age and they've known each other since they were about one month old, he has a sister really close to Charlie's age, so while it's nice for them to see each other, it's even nicer to visit with his mom, since we are both going through the OMG.TWO.KIDS.WHAT.WERE.WE.THINKING!?

eee! i just found a photo of Lily and Gabriel from 2-9-07 together! eeee! beeebbiiiiesss!

Like always, there was a fun art project. Lily and daddy decorated a rain stick!

Daddy said he was going to tape lily.. she was not amused.

We ran a lot of errands picking up donations for Mad City Mardi Gras and so Charlie spent a lot of time in the ergo carrier today. I love it. Love.

here we are early in the day

Looking about the same later in the day (though slightly more hilarious, in my opinion)

we stopped in at Chocolate Shoppe for ice cream because, well, it was there and we had a long day.

Lily doing the "sprinkles on my ice cream" dance

Later we stopped for groceries to make sushi.

yum!

this is a gross picture of lily because her hair is a mess and she has rice all over herself but something about her face looks so grown up to me... a little glimpse of teenage lily. booooo!

at home, the busy day caught up with my sensitive little Charlie, so back in the carrier for some snuggle time with mom. I was glad to have my hands free to help chop veggies and assemble sushi. Yes we look gross. It was a long day.

Before bed we put together valentine goody bags for her classmates.

and we made our snack for the valentines day party for tomorrow. heart shaped red peppers, mini mozzarella, and tiny yellow tomatoes. (there's a frilly topper thing in the middle of the heart.. in this picture it looks weird and black and bug-like, but i assure you its blue, plastic, and not gross),


long day, long post, goodnight.
