This weekend by the numbers

What this weekend entailed: one giant giraffe bounce house, eleven small children at R's birthday party, two soccer games for three- and five- year olds, four miles run late Sunday evening trying to beat the rain, five loads of laundry, one new swing set from Grandma and Papa, eight hours spent trying to put it up (it's not there yet), a first experience with baby cereal (she liked it!), 80 degrees on Sunday ( I liked it!), one full cup of green tea spilled everywhere by R's flailed pillow, dozens of hot dogs, veggie dogs, and brats with all the fixings (it was a hot dog-themed party), one annoyed wiener dog in a wiener costume, one lemon cake with raspberry sorbet constructed to look like a hot dog (I was quite proud-pictures to come), ten gift bags, one cat left outside in the storm, one entire bottle of baby shampoo dumped in the bath, eight Ibuprofen tablets consumed, 0% of homework completed.

It was a bit hectic.
