May wakes up

May wakes up with crazy mad blond hair everywhere.



And then Mommy fixes it.

It's a quiet Saturday here at our place. May is napping (though not soundly). We're doing the laundry rotation (one load take two hours). And I'm baking Nikki's not-to-be-beat brownies.

We went to the HMNH last night for family night and May got to touch a live snake (an eastern red corn snake) and she saw dinosaur bones and fossils and a bunch of stuffed animals including a dodo and a Bengal tiger. I love the HMNH because it's so very Victorian in its execution and it makes me feel like a pulp heroine wandering through the 130 year old rooms looking at formaldehyde-smelling taxidermied species or arthropods in jars of alcohol. (There was a wood lice the size of a big kitten! It was cool and creepy all at once.)

Cathy got an offer on her house, so moving may happen soon. Best of luck to her.

We're looking forward to our Sox game (courtesey of Seth and Sarah) on Tuesday. We've got a babysitter -- Adrea -- who will take care of her. Andrea used to be one of our baristas before she quit to work elsewhere and she adores May. Well, who doens't?

That's all for now!
