1. She showed up early...15 minutes early. We weren't done with dinner and Dave wasn't home yet. So...she ate dinner with us. It was just boring homemade spaghetti. I spent "dinner time" feeding the baby in the rocking chair.
2. We all went up to the theater room to watch Finding Faith in Christ. I like that movie, but it was a little awkward. Dave was shuffling people so she didn't end up next to him on the love seat. So Natalie sat next to her on the rumble love seat (the one that shakes when the movie is noisy). Phew. Lived through that hour.
3. Then it was time for activity. She wanted to play guitars with Dave. 'cept she's pretty good and Dave's pretty rusty. We sang lots of things. She knew a lot of "gospel" songs...just not ones that we sing at our church. We were trying, but the girls and I were pretty uncomfortable.
4. It took forever for her to go home. Eventually during the singing I told Natalie to serve refreshments. She kept on playing, hoping Dave would join in. Then the girls got out their homework and worked on it in the middle of the floor. She was still playing. When it was time for the girls to go to bed. Seriously. Like 10 pm. She finally left.
At least I have reasons why I can say NO (I mean no, thank you) next time Dave suggests it.
I was glad I had a cuddly little one to hide behind all night. Jacob didn't need oxygen all day today, but I left the dots on his face.
