ltlbird showed up and after dinner, she and I got all dressed up and went to the theater. She Loves Me is such an awesome show! I keep saying that I don't understand why it's not a classic of the American theater that everyone knows about, like The Sound of Music or The Wizard of Oz. ( cut for rambling about the show )
Saturday, we got up, andltlbird went to play with yaoobruni and help him pick veggies at the CSA farm. Elena and I went to an outdoor concert at the library by 2 guys who do kids music - Davis Bates and Roger Tincknell. (We have one of Tincknell's CDs.) Two guys, lots of different instruments (banjo, mandolin, many percussive things), too many puns and bad jokes, lots of songs with hand motions or audience participation. It was fun, though Elena was more taken with her balloon than anything. Back home for naptime - when ltlbird came back, we just read and talked until E got up. Then we went to the playground to assuage her swinging needs, then out for Thai food and ice cream. After we got home and put E to bed, we watched..... well, a few weeks ago, in conversation, I randomly discovered that galagan had never seen My Fair Lady, so I decided I had to fix that. So we watched that last night. (You know, it's really really hard to watch that movie and not wish that Julie Andrews was in it instead. I don't think I'd seen that movie since high school, and I had forgotten how much it reeks of class and caste in that British way - even beyond the obvious. I also realized that Audrey Hepburn with long hair looks a *lot* like a friend of mine from Billings. It was fun to watch galagan's face at the end, when he realized that "Eliza, where the devil are my slippers?" is the last line.)
This morning,ltlbird left (much to Elena's chagrin and sadness) and we stuck on our bathing suits, despite the threatening storm clouds, and went to the swimming hole - Elena was adamant from the time she woke up that she wanted to go swimming. We were the only people there and the water was COLD, so we just waded in the shallows, and watched the tadpoles swim away. I also saw a few bitty bitty frogs who had just come on land, with tiny vestigial tails. And I found a small feather that was likely from a blue jay - blue and black, with a white tip. I spent the afternoon reading, and trying to straighten up my desk a little bit.
I have a busy week ahead. The next few weeks, actually. Wow.
