Well, it's me and three wide awake kids right now. Accalia and Cole are usually awake at this time, but I keep hoping Ella will get out of this don't-nap-until-3 p.m.-and-then-stay-up-until-midnight phase. I'd much rather she just give up naps then nap late and stay up late. Last night (Ella didn't crash until after midnight) I was so tired and just needed something mindless to do, so I googled "free stuff for kids" and signed Accalia and Cole up to get all sorts of freebies so they'll get mail addressed to them - something that doesn't occur nearly as often as they'd like.

After supper and a walk, Accalia decided she wanted to help me have a nice, relaxing evening. She prepared a plate of radishes, radish greens and sliced cucumbers (first fruits of our garden) - lightly salted - and a glass of ice water. Then she had me sit on the couch, put pillows behind my head and a footrest down for my feet and gave me a card that said "I love u Amy." This has prompted her to decide to become a chef so she can make "unique food" at a restaurant she plans to name "Magnifique Chef." She's also been trying to feed me all evening long. Hmm, maybe she'll be willing to make supper tomorrow...

Tomorrow is a wide open day. Thankfully it should a little less oppressive than today (around 100 and high humidity).
