Cooper Riis didn't work out so we went into Ashville with Greta and Elwyn yesterday and ate a pile of Mexican food. Then we took the kids to a playground to tucker them out and admire the way the snow was falling from a blue sky. Admire with anger.
The kids deserved some fun after being so good at the restaurant. I had fun with Elwyn, too!
Always cheerful, little Sonja enjoys the playground in her snowsuit!
When we returned to the castle, Greta and John were working before we even got out of the car. We made a nest for Sonja to sleep in again and then we turned in early. I love the castle, but it really was like sleeping in a castle. Our bed was tall and thick with comforters, covered in gauzy netting and dust. There was a heavy black chandelier over our heads and old mirrors decorating the room. And cold, medievally so. We pulled Maddie into our bed both nights and used her like a hot water bag. Sonja pulled her blanket up over her head and buried herself. But it was fun to snuggle in and watch some old "Six Feet Under" on Nathaniel's iPodTouch.
We woke up early and headed out. We stopped after a couple a hours to eat at a Waffle House (making the whole trip worthwhile for Nathaniel!) and ate another pile of food. We thought we'd go to the Atlanta aquarium but when we got to Jen and Sandy's house, it turned out we were all tired and dirty so we bathed (I fell asleep in the tub) and did some laundry and watched TV: "Hip Hop Wives" and "Beyonce: Revealed." We don't have TV and are very susceptible to the flashing lights and sounds.
More later.......
