i got a cute outfit at old navy tonight: blue jeans, a light pink tank top and a gray-and-light-pink striped long-sleeved shirt. i almost got an adorable set of pj's for micah, but i put them back at the last minute. i think i'll get them tomorrow when i go back to spend the rest of my gift card. i am really torn; i'm dying to spend it all on micah, because i ADORE the little girl clothes at old navy. i want one of everything in micah's size. i thought i would be crazy about the toddler boy stuff, too, but there was a lot i didn't like. anyway, i am so tempted to get micah stuff, but i want to spend it on myself, too. i think i'll get another pair of jeans and another shirt. oh, also tonight, i got three bars of soap: green tea, peony plum, and honey pear.
i've had the best time coloring with the kids lately. it's so relaxing to lie on the floor with them and flip through all the new, neat coloring books they got for christmas. i have mixed feelings about coloring books, and crayola color wonder products and the like... the ultra-crunchy part of me thinks they restrict creativity. but it sure is nice to be able to hand rowan a marker too and let him join in the fun.
today was so beautiful, and since our outing yesterday was thwarted by a weird, 6-hour stomach bug, we walked down to my grandparents' house to play with my second cousin, sydney. sydney is the daughter of my uncle's wife's daughter. that makes her my second cousin, by marriage. she and micah have fun, but she is an only child and (not that i assume this is a trait of all single children) a little bossy. since we've been having issues with micah's bossiness lately, i was a little concerned about her following sydney's example. but it didn't seem to have any huge effect on micah. she had fun; the kids played at my grandparents' house while i watched my grandfather make caramel candy, then we headed to the park. some other neighborhood friends showed up with their kids, and by the time we started to walk home it was almost 5 pm. my aunt susan arrived in the parking lot to pick sydney up just as we were walking past. so micah and rowan and i continued home to meet josh, ran a quick errand while he napped, then we all went to old navy together. we picked up a cheese pizza and some breadsticks for supper on the way home.
