We had a total of 5 kids and 6 adults at our house this week. And, it was totally fun.
Magnolia has two cousins her age and now, since they are gone, she is having withdrawal symptoms
(ie. not sure how to entertain herself)
I somehow managed to get a cold the day after everyone left so I'm trying to rid myself of germs before Tues...when we're off to Spain then to California, and then, a birthday party for Mags and then, Lallapalooza and a tour home.
Sound like fun? It will be, except, for the first 6 days, I'll be missing my little sidekick as she will be staying with Gramma.
Speaking of Mags and Gramma, the other day they were hanging out and Mags got her first bee sting. The best part about this was the story she told her dad later when describing the ordeal on their nightly walk. She said, "I got my first bee sting. It hurt pretty bad, I screamed like this (insert piercing girl scream). Well, anyway I think it was a bee. It could have been a swap." After hearing some parental laughter she said, "I mean, wasp."
Also, on Thursday I played at the Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls. More on that later. It was amazing.
