Rainy Day Girls
It was so rainy and chilly all weelend. Ended up driving into Chicago with N&J, took them out to lunch and then went to an inddor play area and to Borders where we heard a children's author read all three of her books, one was hilarious, it was about a family of peas and the little pea had to eat candy for dinner and was very unhappy about it but then was thrilled to eat dessert which was his favorite dessert of spinach. N&J found this hysterically funny and they made Mother's Day cards during he arts and crafts hour. It had been a few weeks for us since we went to Borders and the woman who usually reads the chidlren stories asked how we were and remembered us which was nice.
I of course did more running, 4 miles Friday, 3 miles Saturday (too much rain and too cold really to do any more) and then 4 miles inside on the treadmill Sunday morning.
So Wednesday is the big day for A to have her nursing test, tonight and tomorrow night I am taking the twins out for dinner and then playing so A can finish her studying. She is so nervous, I keep telling her to relax and think about visiting Poland.

SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAD A GREAT WEEKEND! WHO WAS THE AUTHOR OF THE BOOKS THEY SOUND REALLY CUTE, MY SISTER IS GOING TO HAVE ANOTHER BABY SO I WOULD LIKE TO GET HER SOME BOOKS LIKE THAT.
WELL I'M SURE A WILL DO JUST FINE ON HER TEST, WISH HER LUCK!
Thanks I will wish her luck.
The books were by Amy Krouse Rosenthal, the one about the family of peas that my girls liked is called "Little Pea".
Here is the blurb:
PreSchool-Grade 2–Little Pea is happy. There are many things he likes to do, such as roll down hills and hang out with his friends. There is one thing, though, that he does not like, and that is to eat candy as the main course every night for dinner. He struggles through, reluctantly swallowing not just one piece but five, in order to have his favorite dessert–spinach. This simple story is a twist on the age-old admonishment that children everywhere hear each evening.
