Well - although it did not mean my daughter slept any longer (in fact this morning she spent the hour between 4 and 5 fidgeting in our bed instead of sleeping) I did enjoy the extra hour before I needed to be at church on Sunday, and at least for today it feels better to have light in the morning. We had a nice weekend of plays, playing and cleaning (why is it that laundry and dishes are NEVER done! If we just didn't eat or change our clothes my life would be so much easier!)
Friday I went to see the West High play - the kids did a really nice job (I was also scouting for who might be able to do which part for the musical :)) and I imposed on my friend Laurelyn to keep my daughter for the evening so I could see it (my husband being the tech director and all). I guess most people actually do something on Halloween. I grew up in the country and don't remember going house to house for candy. I do remember going to the mall trick-or-treating once and getting BAGS of candy though. Luckily my daughter doesn't know any better yet so hopefully we can put off trick-or-treating for awhile. But anyway, that's why I couldn't find a babysitter. Luckily Genni and Graham play really well together and so didn't drive Laurelyn crazy. Genni then spoke of nothing but Graham the whole next day.
Saturday we hung out with daddy till after nap and then went back to see Laurelyn and Graham again. I am SOOO bad at sewing that Genni's curtains have been halfway done for ages. So since Laurelyn is much more talented with a sewing machine, and I seem to be able to handle the pinning part, we got some more seams done on her curtains in between toddler questions.
Sunday was church, spaghetti lunch (youth group fundraiser) and then nap and to mom and dad's for dinner. The play is now finished and the set struck so Eric should be home all night tonight - yay! This also means I can go to the grocery store tonight without Genni - she is an angel for the babysitter when they go to the store, but when I go with her she spends the entire time crying because I won't carry her. Now I know she isn't that heavy, but have you ever tried to push a cart, carry a two-year old, cross things off of your list, and actually think about what you are putting in the cart? Luckily I wasn't trying to keep a tally of prices in my head too! So, as much as I love my daughter, I'm looking forward to traversing the grocery store without a screaming child:).
Oh! one last thing - I get to play with the Williamsport Symphony on the 14/15th! I'm super excited to have a proffesional gig, it's been so long since I played with that quality of ensemble. We are playing Ravel's Bolero, Tchaikovsky's Cappricio Italien and something else I don't know. But anyway - super fun! Till next time!
