Whew! Mission accomplished - laundry is all put away thanks to help from dear, dear husband. Of course we already have a hamper full of dirty clothes ready to be washed, but at least we know where all of our clean clothes is at the moment. We actually managed to clean up a lot around the house, so I think we're both ending the day with a sense of accomplishment.

Accalia was in a much better mood overall today - some not so great moments for her and me, but we pulled through. We finally made some playdough this afternoon. I think I had suggested it on Friday, but then we got distracted when she wanted to play Hungry, Hungry Hippos in the bathtub.

We also watched Wizard of Oz. I had rented that Saturday along with Panic Room. Panic Room was an okay movie - a fair share of really bad lines for a Jodie Foster flick, I thought. Anyway, I think Accalia liked Wizard. I remember being really scared of the Wicked Witch when I was younger and especially the scene where that nasty Toto-stealing neighbor is riding around while Dorothy and Toto are spinning around in the house during the tornado.

I have really fond memories of watching that movie when I was a child. It was always such a special event because we'd only watch it once a year when it was broadcast on TV. We'd hunker down with our Cracker Jacks (which was also a special treat, and this was when they actually had decent prizes) and make an evening of it. This is one of those movies that I would never want to buy just because I don't want to get bored with it by watching it over and over again. Same goes for Sound of Music.
