Non-stop busy weekend – Sunday

Reid and I went to Eddie’s for breakfast on Sunday as is our habbit. It was raining but we were lucky enough – or at least Reid was lucky – to have Reid’s Tinkerbelle umbrella with us. Reid doesn’t get enough opportunities to use her “lella”, and so the rain was welcome. I’m learning what its like for Ken to walk with me while I have an umbrella. I spent a fair amount of time with the spines poking me in the neck. Of course, he doesn’t have to carry *me* and negotiate double doors at the same time. Still, there is a chance Reid will get better with time but I think my skills at umbrella handling are as good as they’re going to get. Poor Ken.Brianna, Chantelle and Donald came over for brunch. Donald had had an eventful evening on Saturday and so laid on the couch and so we teased him a bit and ate his share of the pancakes.Brianna took him home after lunch and so they had a girls-only afternoon while Ken and I went to see Little Miss Sunshine and then out for supper. Chantelle and Reid did some beautiful fingerpaintings while we were away. Fortunately, I’d thought to suggest they take Reid’s clothes off before she started painting as it’s a messy business. I’m not sure what Chantelle did but she was clean when I got home. Chantelle also painted Reid’s toe nails – a very cool thing for Miss Reid – and even put a little flower on each big toe nail.

When we got home, Reid was looking out the window but by the time we got in the house, she was running up and down the length of the living room, giggling like a crazy person. As thet were leaving, Ken thanked the girls for babysitting and I told him not to let Reid hear. I’m pretty sure she barely noticed our absence and would’ve been insulted by the suggestion that she had done anything other than hang with her cousins for some quality girl-time. Our whole family had a great time – thanks Brianna and Chantelle!
