Library and cupcakes

Today was a very normal day. The morning started out grey and slowly melted into a lovely, gloden afternoon. When I write golden, I really mean it. Here in Texas, the sun seems brighter and yellower than in PDX. So when it shines it gives everything around a slightly yellow tinge. I begin to understand why Texans are characterized by squinty eyed people. I find that even in the mildest weather, I have to squint to be able to see. Sunglasses are a must, and the wonderful thing is that I don't think it's possible to misplace them during the winter.

The grey morning reminded me of PDX and how I use to take the girls to the library during the fall and winter months. So, I packed the girls in the car, and we went to the library. There is only one library unless you go to the nearby towns. There was a story time and a craft for all of the kids to do, and I think the girls really enjoyed it. Yes, I did this solo with three kids, and I know that some of you might think it was stressful, but I remember my mom doing quite a lot with three kids. Also, there is the added bonus that if my kids act up, I don't have to pacify them until I can get them home. I can actually take action! Luckily, I didn't have to do any of that. The girls were wonderful, well-behaved, and obedient. Our trip was a great success, and I hope to make many more.

We came home, ate some yogurt, hung a towel rack, a hand towel ring (mom be proud), and mounted a toilet paper holder. Then, Reagan helped me make cupcakes. They played princess dancing while waiting for everything to cool down, and then we decorated.
