I had a lovely afternoon/ evening today. Carli had an appointment for a 3D ultrasound of her baby boy (due in 2 months on November 20th!) She invited us to come. Mom and dad picked the girls and I up after school got out and we drove to Lodi to meet Carli and Travis. Let me just say, they didn't have these fancy 3D ultrasounds back in my day-- just regular ones. Lucky young whipper snappers!
We also saw his cute room they painted blue. Then we went out to Applebees for dinner. We skipped both girls' soccer practices and didn't do a stitch of their homework. I felt blissful and free. On the way home, my parents, the girls, and I channel surfed the radio and dad had us try to guess every band/ artist that came on, like he always does. (He knows like every artist ever! I had success with Greenday, the Beach Boys, Aerosmith, Collin Raye, Huey Lewis and the News, and Adele-- but that one didn't count because she's been played on the radio 24/7 for a year.) I missed ones like Foreigner, Jason Aldean, Seals and Crofts, Rod Stewart (duh!) and even the Beatles!-- what a disgrace to humanity!
We also talked about the moon and how it appears like a crescent because the earth is casting a shadow over most of it. The girls were fascinated that the earth moves around the sun, not the opposite, and that some people are on the bottom of the world and gravity keeps us all from floating into space. Then we went to Cold Stone and I came home and watched my new favorite show, Downton Abbey. Afternoons and evenings like this make me long to have Summer back, but at the same time, I can't wait for November 20th to get here faster! I can't wait to see this cutie that will join our family!
