shoulda took a picture

The other night I cooked dinner for us and Mom and Dad, actually cleaned off the table and set it with real dishes and cutlery.
Turned out pretty nice if I don't say so myself.
So how does one dirty two dishwasher loads of dishes cooking one simple meal?

Last night we tried out the family fun pool at the y. It was nice, Mayra loved it. I was hoping she would play with other kids, but it wasn't happening last night. On the way out to the car, she was walking along laughing because she would take 3-4 steps, fart, 3-4 steps, fart again. A fairly pleasant looking man was observing this and laughing about it, then wouldn't you know, she decides it's OK to blame me for the gaseous emissions. It REALLY wasn't me.
We have birthday parties this Saturday and next, plus the infamous dance recital next weekend. Uh, oh, Elizabeth's bday party might conflict with the Saturday matinee. Hmmm. I know Mayra will be heartbroken if we miss the party. We'll just have to see what happens.
