Fundraiser Day

1.  Lola's school fundraiser was this afternoon.  We watched Beatiful Marsha perform and then the kids made some crafts, got tattoos and face paint then watched the band, Milkshake, perform while I worked my shift at the bake sale.  It was a fun time to see everyone outside of school-especially since I don't see a lot of the MWF people anymore with Lola only at school T and Th.  We didn't have much time to take part in the silent auction, but did "win" the tickets to Old Sturbridge Village in MA.  That will make for a fun weekend away.

2.  Tonight Lola fell off the back of the chair Rich was sitting on.  Hm, why wasn't he paying attention to that?!  Of course, she fell off and bumped her head and was upset for at least 40 minutes.  The sitter came and she wouldn't let me leave.  She is very clingy with me, especially when she is upset or nervous.  We missed going to the movie we wanted to see, but finally were able to leave.  We went to Greenwich again.  We've been wanting to try Asiana.  It was so good!  It's also kid-friendly, but has a hip vibe.  We'll definitely go back.  We started walking down to Greenwich Ave, but it was so cold we got in the car and drove over.  Our destination was the crepe place!  Meli-Melo looks like a tiny creperie we loved in St. Barth!  Turns out the owner used to live there and had a high-end restaurant there.  We loved feeling like we were back on our favorite island-if only for a short time!  We dream about going back someday, but it will be a while with the price of the dollar to the euro-everything will cost us about 30% more!  Eek!  It's very expensive anyway and very hard to get to, so we'll wait til the kids are older.  *sigh*

3.  Tomorrow is a completely free day and we're trying to decide what to do.  I love those kind of days where we can do anything we want!  Now to get to bed to try to read some of The Help before I collapse!  I love this book!  The next book we're doing for our book club is The Space Between Us.  I'm hoping it will be good cruise reading material.
