National Donut Day and other happenings...

Friday was national Donut Day, and Krispie Kream Donuts was celebrating by giving away free donuts. not a bad deal...and you even got to pick out any donut you wanted...not just the plain glazed ones! so Lydie Miri and I went for a donut (something about Elsa not having teeth...or eating any solid food yet convinced us to leave her behind w/ mom). a nice little afternoon activity!

Besides donuts, i've spent a good bit of time pushing swings, reading books, going for walks, and generally loving little girls (i've got to get in all the lovin' i can while we're still in KY, cause once we go up to MI i'll have to share them with my parents and other sisters!)...especially Elsa cause my mom and dad are baby hogs (maybe since i wrote that on my blog they'll be better at sharing...but probably not!)

We had some friends over (the Martins) - they have sons the same ages as the girls. it was tons of fun. 5 kids in a little wading pool, boys flying down the slide, good food and good conversation. today Lydie and i went to the YMCA to go swimming. they have an outdoor pool. nice!

Tomorrow is Lydie's dance recital, and she's going to VBS. I'm going to take Miri out to breakfast as a special treat. unfortunately, she loves McDonalds. i really would rather take her to Panera...but she loves those hotcakes, and is surprisingly aware and strong-willed. I don't think i can convince her that Panera is better (although her older sister did convince her that her favorite color was blue, maybe i should recruit Lydie to help...)

I've also been reading a biography of St. Francis. I was excited before i started it, and really have enjoyed the book. St. Francis has a strong influence in WMF...and i've enjoyed learning more about him.

not much else going on...enjoying time with my sister...and little girls that i love so much.
