We have been to see Zoo lights--I was disappointed that the Cat Country, Northwest Passage, African Plains, China/Panda, and Monkey exhibits were all closed. Also, the only rides that were open was the carousel and train. The train was free and we didn't know it, so didn't ride it! I am about to post photos, so we did have a good time.
We drank peppermint martinis. We played spoons--Elise won every time. We played with the Christmas train and ran it off the track a lot. We ate at Cozymels. We laughed and screamed at movies....7 pounds, Changeling, Rudolph and Frosty, College Road Trip and more! We read Christmas letters from friends that made us cry. We shopped until we dropped. We went to Maria's house and laughed until we cried. We ate fine cheese and drank fine Port. The kids had SODA! Frank drank circus wine! We ate turkey, turkey soup and turkey sandwiches. We all have had a blast and it is going by waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too fast. I am trying to savor this time and store up memories. My children are rushing to grow up and Elise has changed in the last week even. Little Ella is growing taller and wiser and Ava is silent until she really wants to tell you something she has been thinking about.
Mom and Jon have seemed to have a great time and I hope they have. We are both trying to be Mary in a Martha world and it is hard to do this and not miss a "moment" when there are so many people to take care of and things to see done. Mom took the girls and the dog for a walk all the way to the park today. Ella pooped out on the way home and mom had to carry her. Poor mom! Jon and I were where? Out shopping! For fine cheeses! Yes, this is funny!! Fine cheeses!
