Once again, it is Sunday afternoon, and I'm trying to figure out where the weekend went. On Friday, Ramy had his 9/80 day, and as usual, he managed to get a bazillion things accomplished. I get out before 2 on Fridays, and I try to use the extra time to run errands. I got a lot of things done in just a couple of hours before heading home. Rebecca was napping, so Ramy and I got to hang out and chat and relax. When she woke up, we headed out to Monrovia, had an Italian dinner, and then took in the alleged farmer's market. I say "alleged farmer's market," because there were no farm goods to be had. Street fair would be a more applicable description, because the street was filled with booths where you could buy everything from gourmet food products to handmade soaps to Bob Marley onesies for your baby and macramé plant holders. They also had a petting zoo, but Rebecca wasn't too interested in petting goats, so we passed on that. She'd have loved to have jumped in the air jumper things they had, but they were filled with much bigger and rowdier kids who'd have easily trampled our tiny girl. She much enjoyed getting a funnel cake, however.
On Saturday morning, Rebecca awoke at 7:00, much to our chagrin. We ate breakfast and then went to dance class (more on that in a separate post). Afterwards, we came home and Ramy watched football and then went with Rebecca and the dogs over to his mom's house to bathe the animals. We went out to dinner in Pasadena with Maddy, Paul, Rachel, and Ashley last night and then went back to their house afterwards so the girls could play. Rebecca had a marvelous time with her girlfriends. They were running and shrieking and laughing until 10:30. They were riding little ride-on cars and making camp with pillows in the hallway and playing with toys and having a great time.
I'm ashamed to admit that we skipped church this morning, but we did. Shame on us. But, oh, it was so nice to sleep in for once! Since then, we've read the newspaper, done some housework, and generally got ready for the week. I cleaned out my closet with the assistance of the best little helper in the world, who was so incredibly enthusiastic about helping me.
Week before last, we had a nice break of fall weather, but this week it was hot again. I am hoping that soon we'll get to enjoy fall weather.
