putting rag curlers into em’s hair – orange and blue glittery nail polish already on the hands

em, bhk and I are at 5 guys – later, we’re going to do / see some mad science, including a glowing pickle and an exploding potato – earlier, bhk and I taught her how to force at minimum a stalemate in tic tac toe / trip trap trop (swedish version of the game). em and bhk spent some time in our pool today, while i rested for a bit – back is tricking up. lots of snap beans in the garden harvested, too! i’m going to miss em when she leaves this weekend.

richard, bruce and lulubelle agree that the movie “imagine that” was a directorial mess and not very entertaining. emily liked it, but bhk and I agree with the plastic dashboard animals (air pressure gauge, pencil sharpener and plastic kids meal toy). after the movie, we picked up sneakers for bhk, boxer shorts for me, and some fireworks for tonight. i have heard more hannah montana and high school musical tunes this week than ever before. penance for something… what, i’m not sure.

why, dear lord, why?!
