Jodi Picoult: My Sister's Keeper: A Novel
For book club. It seems to make everyone cry.
Roald Dahl: James and the Giant Peach
With Liam. We are really enjoying it. The name-calling in the beginning was a bit upsetting to him (he is only four), so I toned it down. But now we're in the peach and it's all fun. (*****)
Sharon Lamb: Packaging Girlhood: Rescuing Our Daughters from Marketers' Schemes
Lots to think about; lots to talk about. Something to read if you have kids (boys or girls). (****)

Olivia did some grass butterfly catching (please note our lovely grass).
I did some knitting, of course. I made it to the decreases!
We played a little bowling for blocks. Topless was optional.
We made cookies.
And, after the kids were in bed, Mark and I played Scrabble.
So, all in all, not that different from a normal day.
Except the Scrabble. We hadn't done that in a long long time.

I LOVE board games. Seriously. What could be better? :)

Sounds like you had lots of fun! And to think you were worried. :)

Wait a second, wait a second. Interacting with your husband that doesn't involved kids or bills? What is this madness you speak of? Maybe WE should turn off the TV. Glad you had a good day. :)

Olivia has my favorite "hippie child on a commune" vibe. I just love that (as you can tell, I have three like that).
I think board games are highly overlooked. I always feel better after losing a few cribbage games.

Randy and I got on a Yahtzee kick for a while there. I tried to get him to play last night, but you know...it's playoffs for the NHL right now so it was out of the question.
