Last night it began to bucket down rain, and the kids begged to go outside and play in it. So on went the knee-high rubber boots and waterproof raincoats, and out went the kids and mr. flea. They returned 20 minutes later literally soaked to the skin - underpants and all, mr. flea poured water out of Casper's rain boots - but very happy. They went around the block and unclogged two storm drains that were full of leaves and backing up puddles into the intersections.

Once towels, shower and bath, and pajamas had ensued, Dillo went to the fridge, got some grapes, and called out, "Who wants to watch a Nature show and eat grapes, raise your hand!" Who could say no? Well, me, at least until Casper finished her homework, but then we watched a show about wolves which they had all watched the previous night. Dillo was very emphatic that the main wolf died of a broken heart.

In less sweet news, mr. flea has strep throat. He woke up out of a sound sleep at 5:30 to announce, "I'm going to the doctor!" He had strep ALL THE TIME as a kid, and his ability to call it when he gets it now is pretty good.

1. I have booked plane tickets to Boston for March 23-26.

2. I am not going to be paying for them.

3. The Feds are giving us money (returning all we gave them, and then giving us SOME MORE! It is good to be a poor breeder); the state is giving us back some.

4. I am going out to dinner with my husband and no children tomorrow night! I will eat steak frites, I hope!

5. La Leche League tonight means seeing other people's cute babies and showing off my own (I only go for the social interaction anymore - I pretty much know all I'm ever going to learn about breastfeeding at this point.)

6. When I get home from work: chocolate raspberry cheesecake.

7. I had a lot of fun looking at Hanna Anderssons on ebay this morning, and didn't actually buy anything. But I might. OR maybe I can get my mother to buy them.
