remember last year, I planted potatoes? well, a few of them evidently were in the ground over winter, and now I have baby potato plants popping up in corn plot #2.
The green beans are popping up. They seem to be doing better in corn plot #1.
I fed grumpy toddlers fresh picked strawberries. They got less grumpy.
Quote of the day, we were looking at TV, a show about the vice “Anger”, BiLR said, “I liked it better when it was called wrath.”
Today, was Mr Grunty’s & Miss Squeaky’s 2nd birthday party. We rented out a shelter at “BirthdayPark”. Yesterday, it was raining, a bit, and forecast called for more of the same. After discussions, MyBetterHalf and I decided that the childrens are Seattle-ites, and better get used to rain on their out door events. (I might add, that Seattle was almost – only minutes away – from breaking a the record for a Seattle dry streak of 29 days. We tied the record.) So, with faith, and a giant umbrella ready to hold over the BBQ pit…we said, “party on at the BirthdayPark”.
And the day was beautiful. Cloudy in morning, so it was cool when I was lugging coolers of ice. Sunshine with a slight breeze during the party. I had lots of fun, talking with friends haven’t seen in awhile, playing with fire, holding Mr Cuddles as he napped. Miss S & Mr G seemed to have lots of fun. They really enjoyed the set up time, when the table clothes were flying all over. I did scare Mr G, when I yelled LOUDLY at him because he was within 5 feet of the fire.
When we got home, the childrens stayed up, playing with their new tea set. Miss S went around with a spoon & cup, giving people pretend bites of “ap-ole oss”.
When we put them down for a nap, of course they played more. When I went in to scold them, it took a bit, because they had moved the hamper in front of the door, delaying my entry, so they had time to run back to bed. Those childrens are getting crafty!
After nap, and after strawberries, me & BiLR took toddlers to TwinPonds. Mr G thinks that BiLR is very cool, and hung out with him. When I offered to push Mr G in the swing, he said, “no.” and then held his hands out to BiLR!
Once, Mr G & Miss S were a bit away from each other, yelled at each other, then ran towards each other, stopped and laughed. BiLR asked what that was about. “It’s a twin thing.”
