Time Changes

So, we're dealing with the time change again. Little E. took it pretty hard last night when she had to go to sleep while it was still light. Tonight BK hung a dark blanket over the window and she settled down much more quickly this evening. A trip to Linens-N-Things is in order, A) for a dark curtain for her room, B) because I have a 25% off coupon. Yessssss.

The other thing this time change does is make me kind of hyper. It's still light out when it should be dark, and my body basically goes a little berserk. I got E. down to sleep and in quick fashion I washed all the dishes and bottles, moved on to wiping down the inside of the fridge and finished with wiping the fronts of all the cabinets. I can see, right now, that it's 9:01. I really should be moseying towards the general idea of bedtime, but I...just...can't. I know I'll regret staying up, but what's a girl to do? I know: strip the guest bed wash the sheets put away the dishes have a snack send digital photos to walgreens to get printed post in the blog and then maaaaaaybe think about brushing my teeth. After I have another cookie.

We had visitors this weekend! Grandpa Lindy (Baby E. gets her middle name from her Grandpa, my dad) and Auntie Mary (my sister) spent three nights with us. It was filled with adventure, as Grandpa's car broke down on 94 in Minneapolis, just a few miles from Mary's house. They were two hours late leaving and made it here sometime after midnight. Saturday was lots of fun, and then early Sunday morning Mary got sick. We're not sure if it was something she ate, or some yucky stomach bug, but they wound up staying until Monday morning. Mary hunkered down in the guest room, cozied up and suffering. E. and I had lots more fun with Grandpa while Mary dealt with her tummy demons. So far the three of us don't have any symptoms, and hopefully it will stay that way because BK's parents are headed down in two days for a nice long weekend visit.

Here's a couple pics to illustrate how this weekend went.

First, here's Mary helping E. bounce on our bed. It's an action shot!

Then, the other end of the spectrum. It's self-explanatory, except for the paper bag. No, she's not using it to act out "bum on bench in park." She just likes bags.
