Because I’m both lazy and sentimental, for the past year, I would just throw the girls’ papers from school in a big box in the closet, thinking I’d go through them later. Well, Saturday ended up being that day. The box had overflowed onto the closet shelf, and it was a huge mess. But seeing it all together made me realize exactly how much paper is wasted by schools and kids - it’s quite a lot, and this is just about a one-and-a-half kid equivalent, too.

I opened the door Thursday night to find two ruffians on my doorstep. They needed a place to stay, and, wouldn’t you know it, they had all this stuff for me in their van, so I let ‘em in. And they stuck around. We stayed up late, ate with wild abandon and disregard for calorie counts (because, you know, it’s vacation), drove all over hither and yon, spent the weekend finding shining examples of jingoism, introduced Cor to her first Target, saw Wanted (which did not include enough Angelina for any of our tastes), got our toes did, strolled about the farmer’s market making friends with dogs and men selling barbecue sauce, put on our “parent faces” for dinner with mine (no cursing or open discussions about masturbation), and spent, as usual, most of an afternoon in a cemetery.
I love my ladies.
For more pictures, Aughra and Cor both have comprehensive selections.
