We did not go to Butterly World yesterday (it turned out A’s friend’s mother was asking about today).
We DID spent 2 hours at the playground, which was great.
And today it has been rainy (so again, no BW). Initially I was annoyed at life — I had slept in, skipped my workout, etc. But then I just told the kids today was officially Lazy Sunday, and you know what?
Embracing that has been quite lovely. We’ve played mood music (Matthew Berniger, Raye Zaragoza – the latter I discovered on All Songs Considered as usual & she’s SO GOOD) and I just spent the morning tidying up and just generally hanging out and cleaning up messes/etc without feeling like I needed to be doing really anything else. It has been nice.
Also, G seems to have aged years in the past few weeks. She figured out how to climb out of her crib (nap was a little dicey today but did end up happening) and is starting to be more independent about everything else.
Now to wake up G and snuggle with her so she doesn’t want to stay up until 10p. Need to find a good Halloween movie that all 3 will like . . . suggestions welcome!
PS: LagLiv just posted an update! Was just thinking of her!

Halloween movie recs:
The Nightmare Before Christmas (streaming on Disney +)
Frankenweenie, 2012 version (ditto)
Also, of course, It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! (on Apple Plus, if you have it)
Seconding Nightmare Before Christmas – was a hit for our family today (though I did not watch a single second of it despite being in view of the TV)
How about Casper … its on Amazon Prime!
I also watched the old version of Witches today. Another cute halloween-ish movie!
Annabel is reading the book in class! Good call! (Though she says she is scared of seeing the head witch’s face!)
