Tomorrow we’re going to a knights-and-princesses themed birthday party. The invitation says that “all guests are invited to wear their royal attire if it pleases them.” Abigail has set out a princess outfit. I tried to talk her into going as a knight, or even a princess-knight, but so far, no dice. Owen wants to go as a cowboy. Sigh.

Other plans for the weekend involve baby-sitting a toddler, shopping at Costco, and bemoaning the end of Dane’s work-free holiday week. Sounds festive, no?

Also, still sick. I just sent Dane out for a gingerbread latte. I don’t know how that’s going to help, but vitamin C isn’t doing a darned thing for me. Might as well try caffeinated holiday beverages.
