We had only one recess today, because of rain.  I had pizza for lunch.  We watched the caterpillars  and they are still in their cocoons.

We stopped at Kroger's grocery store on our way home from school.  GGF has now decided he wants crab salad from the fish market.  I like watching the lobsters in the big tank and getting a cookie from the bakery.  We also bought some ice cream sandwiches as a treat.

I entered the house very quietly so I would not wake up Anna Kate, but she was awake and happy to see me.  It was past her bed time, so she fell asleep soon after I got home from school. 

I really helped GGM wash dishes, just big things that don't fit well into the dishwasher.  I stuck with it until we were finished.

GGM, Barbara, and I played Dodge Ball.  It wears them out, but I do so love that game.  We didn't turn the TV on, or play with the iPad at all today.

A new thing Anna Kate did:  on two occasions she waved bye-bye when one of us was leaving.  She is a baby genius!

 Every few days we bring out one of my old toys for AK.  I love showing her how they work ...

... and she is really interested to see, touch, and listen.

After Anna Kate had been picked up by Kristan, I helped Barbara get boxes of my too-small clothes down the stairs using the chair lift and getting them into her car and over to my house.  Then with Mommy's help we went through them, only pulling out a couple of mementos and a few items that Anna Kate can wear.  

Mommy and I went over to Andy and Kristan's.  We wanted to see Bridget and Chris B who are in town for a wedding.  I loved seeing AK and wanted to hug and love on her a bunch.  It was 11pm before Bridget arrived, so Mommy and I spent the night, knowing we would have to get up early to get home and ready for my soccer game.
