Jack had an afterschool playdate, Kate was in school all day, and the puppy had a vet trip and I had a full-time job keeping her from shredding any more of my clothes. But, we got through it all, and at 5:30, we were all home in the kitchen, me making egg pizza (Jack's favorite, and one of Kate's too), Jack and Kate coloring, Laney chewing on something or other.
Jack asked to hear the Police CD, again. I really need to get another Police CD.
Kate asked if she could feed Laney a treat, and if I could hold her in my lap so she could pet her. Trying to be brave, good girl Kate.
They both ate all their dinner, and went into the kitchen together to get a chocolate chip cookie. They even brought two out for me and Emily; now that's service.
Gave Kate her bath; she fretted during her shampoo, as per usual; then played by stretching out on her stomach. "I'm swimming!"
Kate picked out stories, Dr. Seuss and Karen Katz selections that could not possibly be more different in terms of coolness and cleverness. But she likes them both, so I read them dutifully.
Get the kids in bed, spend an hour or two cleaning up and trying to train the puppy not to destroy everything, and am able to sit down and blog in time with the end of Goodfellas on AMC. It's edited, but that scene were Ray Liotta is trying to get a dozen different things done at the same time one afternoon works just fine anyway.
