What do you do with two six year olds who are crying because they'll miss the 4th of July since they'll be in Scotland? You buy fireworks and celebrate on June 25th! A few boxes of poppers, some sparklers and two fountains later, it's all good. We did have to nix the ideas of decorating the house and packing some flags to celebrate in Scotland. So, Happy June 25th, everyone!! Woo hoo.
My mom reports Diana is "confident and independent". That's what I want for her. Why does it make me teary to hear it's what she is? She's had adventures with food (a whole pig!) and "Greek walls" (Roman aqueducts). I would give just about anything to have seen the little old man teaching her how to make Jacob's Ladder in Spanish. I can hardly wait to see her on Monday!
We'll be leaving in less than 24 hours and my list of things to do is growing rather than shrinking. Why is it that you add two things each time you cross one off? And, rather than working, here I am at the computer. I must shop at iTunes now. Gotta load up the iPod, ya know!
