Later: R is sick. She wanted company, so Hubby stayed home and worked, and he and I spent the afternoon in her room. I read the first few chapters of Midnight Sun aloud. She slept a bit.
And later still: I took care of the little girls and put them to bed while M and B enjoyed a movie out together. The girls are so funny, and they're so much easier now than they were when they were 16 and 28 months old (who knew??). It was a cozy evening.
