I know she hates to be called Baby Girl, but I can't help but be a little sentimental today since DD came home, just a few hours ago. Five nights, six days away, and things just didn't feel the same at all around here. She had a great time as I knew she would-- her friend is an only child and not really spoiled but treatef very nice by her folks. DD spent the days in a blissful state of playing in the lake, collecting quartz rocks (her fave kind), lazing about and reading and drawing pictures, very relaxing and fun. I'm so glad she had the experience, but it's one of those tough "mom has to let go" kind of things. Let the baby bird fly a bit, then welcome her back to the nest.
Not much else going on today. Took younger DS to his fun summer school class, while older DS and I did some chores in the kitchen together-- him crabby even though he will get an allowance for doing it. Then piano lessons and some fun with the boys playing The Game of Life at the kitchen table, and then doing some Mad Libs together, a lot of laughs doing that. Homemade pizza for dinner and DD came home. A slow summer day.
