somewhat like when TNC came into the office and says to me “mummy is very thirsty. she wants a drink.” i knew it was cocktail hour at that point!

A beer on the deck. That’s sounds really great. Oh, wait a minute, I don’t have a deck. Oh, and running out to buy a six-pack of beer in PA requires all kinds of tricks that I’m just not up to in this kind of heat (really. This state has the Puritans beat hands-down). Hope you enjoyed it!

I agree with A Free Man. My 5 year old is a bloody nightmare with waking early and deems it the sensible hour for everyone to join him. And I should be on the deck right now, sunning my still pale little legs (tho my face and arms/shoulders are nicely tanned, so I look very mis-matched). Hope you are still enjoying the Chicago sunshine and the kids are still sleeping – and when you wake at 7am know that somewhere in Chicago, possibly nearby, I have been awake AGAIN since 5.30am. (Hey – and if you fancy a playdate in the next week or so, let me know…)

Nice! I’m still waiting for the day that my boy lets me sleep past 7. Although with a new one on the way, that seems unlikely.
