Today was Abby’s first day of her wonderful new summer job, preventing our children (Alice, especially) from destroying Western Civilization1. I was away when Abby arrived, but Mom reports that Alice latched on to Abby and didn’t let go until we dropped Abby off on the way to Charles’ game. Charles said he liked Abby, and Corwin (when asked) just grunted and said he had hidden from her all day in the basement.
Abby’s schedule is a bit different this week because of Vacation Bible School (for all three kids this year). But next week we should be back on track, although since Charles will be gone all day all week at a Cub Scout outing, and Corwin will be at the Great Soccer Camp Rotating Sleep Over, Abby will get to have a truly concentrated dose of Alice.
1 For example, I noticed that Charles had silver splotches on his pants, from his former role as Charles Silver Hand. I noted this and Charles responded with a request for using spray paint. Yeah, that was a choice moment for that request.
