crazy

we're starting in on a couple of crazy weeks here.

tomorrow is big apple circus day-rory has been looking forward to going again since last year. you can imagine her excitement.

thursday brian (and michael) leave for california for about 5 days. single motherhood for the weekend for me! we're already booked for a pizza dinner one night while he's away, and possibly a visit to billings farm on the weekend. otherwise, we'll be taking suggestions for occupying a 3 year old and 1 year old's time so mama doesn't go a little nutty. and yes, i've already loaded up the netflix list with a bunch of stuff that brian doesn't want to see, plus i've got about a gazillion queer eye tapes from val lined up.

the same day brian returns is the day that barry, carol and lena arrive for their annual summer visit, which usually includes some sort of lobster feed for celebrating barry's birthday, and this year should be no different.

and in the midst of all this, alix has taken her first unaided steps and rory seems to be on the verge of giving up her afternoon nap. YIKES.

send sees candy, quick.
