Oo De Lally, Oo De Lally

. . . golly what a day.
 
{ My Weekend }

Friday Night: 

Noah and Steph's joint birthday celebration!  Nice dinner, round of Brazilian Uno, gifts and cake, and our usual rendition of The Happy Birthday Song (sung loudly and out of key).  Polished off the evening with an impromptu concert in which Peter mimicked songs from the cartoon Robin Hood in a high-pitched falsetto not entirely unlike a fork scraping across a chalkboard.  It was just lovely.
 

Saturday - A Day of Rest:

Got some sunshine:








My boys sitting on the picnic table out back:




Thought about which books I'd like to take to Denmark:




These, plus the whole new set of paperbacks my lovely friend gave me last weekend - some G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy Sayers, Laura Hillenbrand, Maggie Stiefvater, and a few others (♥).


Had a yummy dinner:

.
Talapia, small potatoes, turnip and mustard greens stir-fried in garlic and ginger, and stewed tomatoes.

Finished out Saturday evening with some hot coffee and a novel. 




Sunday: A whole day left in which to prepare for The Attack of Monday and All Ensuing Madness (packing, thesis defense, goodbye parties, etc.).  Fifteen days until departure.  Fifteen.

FIFTEEN!
