look at this cuteness:

last night daddy was out at happy hour with some work people, so mama decided some little girls were going to bed e.a.r.l.y. we had a special treat and read 6 whole books in mama’s bed before going into their room for the night. a special treat for everyone. we read a couple of my favorites – rotton ralph’s birthday (from when i was a little girl), and guess how much i love you (“that’s good hopping”)… along with a pile of sandra boynton books… a lovely way to pass the evening.
and one more bit of cuteness:

(horsey back rides)
alas, cleanweek did not conclude as i had thought it would…. the delivery of my new diningroom table was terribly anticlimactic. i’m still missing 2 legs. are you kidding me? sorry, no, i am not. so i lost my cleaning mojo. perhaps next week….
