We've been really busy today. Everyone's been running around doing things. Dave's dad and I went to Phoebe's house this morning to scope out and pillage her husband's formidable collection of cardboard boxes (Now she doesn't have to shove the door to that particular room to open it!) so that he can make this for Henry, but not before I slammed my finger between our front door and the door jamb. Pain! Meanwhile, Dave rushed home from work so he could get a pork loin started in the smoker. I worked on making some potato salad. While all of this other stuff was going on, Henry and his Grandma were playing in the living room, putting together puzzles, setting up trains, and getting a mini-band going.

The rest of the day was a blur of cooking, eating, cleaning, and a trip to the store, during which Dave and I sat at McDonalds with cotton candy and an Icee for ten minutes, enjoying the downtime and the fact that our kid wasn't there asking us if he could watch Cars (which, for the record, he's currently watching with his Grandma).

I was on the verge of forgetting to post today, there was so much going on. If I had a camera, I'd regale you with pictures of the felt cookies I started sewing yesterday, Dave's dad working on Henry's stove, a gorgeous centerpiece my parents had sent to our house, and all of us noshing on an amazing pork roast. You'll just have to use your imagination.
