We had a busy day, and Carrie didn’t nap – despite being given several opportunities – so I put her to bed a little on the early side. Unfortunately, if I’d just put her to bed 10 minutes earlier she would have avoided falling and getting a huge bump on her forehead. She had reached super-tired-danger-baby mode. My poor little girl!<\/p>\n

By 8:00 Carrie was sound asleep and we realized that we had a whole evening free to do…whatever. It says something about how geeky we are that we immediately pulled out one of our many variations of crayon rails<\/a>. I love crayon rails. It’s a competitive game, but only peripherally – I mostly enjoy figuring out how to make an efficient track, and let’s face it – how often as adults do we get to use crayons? And a bonus tonight is that I won! It’s been ages since I beat Denis in a two-player game of crayon rails!<\/p>\n

Anyway, one of our errands that made today so busy was to get a new shower head. Our old one was only half-heartedly trickling water down the wall of the shower, which made washing anything – except that wall – very difficult. We ended up getting one of those new-fangled hand-held ones with 7 different spray settings and a dial to control the water pressure. I’m (rather pathetically) looking forward to taking my shower tomorrow morning!<\/p>\n

Oh, and I finally finished hiding all of the million ends on Carrie’s ladybug sweater and tacking up the hems. Now I need to finish digging out enough of my craft room to have a flat place to steam block it, and then it will be time to steek. I did make a dent in my craft room earlier. You can now see that there is, in fact, a bed in there, and it’s not just a pile of books and yarn. If I could just find a half hour every day for the next week, it might actually get to the point where I could call it “clean”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
