| Halle Back Packing It |
Yesterday, Hayden stayed home with a sore throat and slept much of the day though it was not strep as Jill feared. The three of them went off early morning to the doctor, to get flu shots and check out Hayden's throat. We walked Halle to school but Jill stopped by to pick her up and take her to get her flu shot.
Around 11:00, my sister Ellen came over for lunch, as she lives in Herndon, about a thirty minute drive from Bristow. She came also to give Jill advice on landscaping her backyard as my sister's yard is amazing and she knows what kinds of flowers, shrubs and trees grow well in this area. We got take out from a local Thai restaurant for lunch and just sat around talking about gardens, our kids, and the weather, what else. Ellen also has a blog, like mine, devoted mostly to her garden, with great pictures. So we traded blog tips! We are going over to her house Sunday for dinner as well. She left around 3:00, just in time for us to walk up and pick up Halle. The rest of the afternoon, we relaxed, played with the girls and their friends who, when they find that Evie's in town, come over in flocks. Drew got home around 5:30, just in time for cocktails. Jill made chicken Parmesan for dinner. After dinner, Halle did some reading, Hayden caught up on their homework, and they were in bed by 9:30. We were not far behind.
Today, we go to Trader Joe's, to pick up some vino, and Jill wants to stock up on staples just in case the storm is severe, so we may hit Costco. Drew may be home early, perhaps we will do some planting, weather permitting.
