An amazing rainy day!

It started last night, actually, with an impromptu party photoshoot! Then, Flynn was all smiles this morning after sleeping through the night. High five! Oh! New development: She now can "moo" when she hears the words "vaca" or "cow", and if she sees a dog, she does this funny "ouh-ouh-ouh!" sound.

At 10:00 am, I took Indie for her very first pedicure. I let her choose a color for both of us to use. Can you guess what she picked??? I think she liked it. In the middle of being pampered, she rather quietly and demurely said, "You know what? I think this is fun." Which was followed by her holding up her hands and saying, "Next time, let's also do these." Uh-oh. I foresee this becoming a habit.

Then we came home and had lunch. Which was followed by a bumpy trip ON the car (Indie's new bed) where we went to a dark cave (our bedroom) and were chased by a very-mean-bear that-was-actually-really-nice (Flynn). When it was my turn to play the bear, I hid and watched as Indie and Flynn came looking for me. They were holding hands and Flynn was walking! Indie was being so careful with Flynn! It was so cute, I let out a gasp and then they found me. Of course, then I had to make a big roar and chase them on my hands and knees! Flynn didn't quite get that part. Instead, she stayed for a hug.

What a lovely day! I tell you, as long as I can keep having days like this, I think I could work 4 days a week and be OK with that. Of course, next week when I'm in LA and missing the hell out of the girls and James, I'll probably be thinking a bit differently.

... I was just about to write more about the conflict of whether to work vs. stay at home, but you know what? I think I'll give myself the afternoon off on that one. Instead, I'll just spend a few more hours (and the weekend) thinking about how lucky I am to have both of these funny babies, a good-looking, good-cooking husband, a warm roof over my head, a beyond supportive family, a job that inspires me that I'm pretty good at... and a cute new haircut :)

Thanks, galaxy!
