My mom and my sister, Shaina [10 and a 1/2 yrs old], came up for the weekend. While my mom was at a workshop in Crystal City, my sister and I had an action packed weekend! We spent lots of time at the pool, played board games, washed cars, and went to the movies.As a 10 year old, she soaks up everything - she has a memory like an elephant and never forgets! There is no fooling her! She really wants an IPod so we asked her to help with a few things this weekend and paid her a few dollars for her assistance. Now she wants to be paid to do everything - I think we may have created a monster! Hopefully, she'll learn that when you want something it's important to work hard for it and save your money to get it. We'll see.
We also celebrated Kari's 27th Birthday. We ate at a carribbean restaurant in Towsen - it was pretty tasty. She finally got a new mattress and is very excited about it!
With everyone gone, the house is pretty quiet - except for the occasional bark from Abby. It's nice to have visitors but it's also nice to have the place to yourself again :)
