... sounds an awful lot like "A laugh," which is what you hear these days when people get dressed up for Karneval. While the real parties are still a couple weeks away, I was able to test out my new look at the American Women's group tonight. A traditional Dutch Limberber outfit. (Not the cheese, the region)

So today was errands, coffee, errands, taxi service for children, packaging up door prizes, taxi again, event setup... you know. A regular day in the life of a woman who's first word may have been no, but somehow lost it along the way.

I missed two things tonight while I was away.

1. Elise gave herself her first haircut. A small clump - 3" long.

2. Arianna spent an hour sulking, upset and distraught that the groundhog saw his shadow (or didn't- I get confused). She's been talking about Groundhog's day for the last week. This morning she popped out of bed wishing us all a very Happy Groundhog's Day! And this afternoon she was crushed that she would have to face another long dreary 6 weeks of winter. Think she'll like Spain? Definitely.

I'm sorry about the groundhog spotting. I, too, was crushed when year...but then my mom showed me on the map where the US groundhog lives (PA). We had a long discussion about geography and about how PA weather and OR weather can not possibly be the same.
