I love having relatives and friends over! I used to be so horrified at letting anyone into my house, since it was never PERFECT, that I almost never had company. Looking back, though, I think only about 2 of the homes I've been in during my lifetime were PERFECT. Time to lighten up.
If I happen to care about keeping our house magazine-shoot-ready after the kids all move out, I might make an attempt.
Uncle Brian, Auntie Missy and Grandpa Jerry all visited us this weekend, on different days. They got to experience Misterguy in all of his dimple-faced, monkey-monster-adrenaline-nut glory. I love all the conversations, the hugs and the funny stories but most of all I love that the kids got to hang with their dad's side of the family... it gets so lopsided family-wise, and it'll stay like that until we can make a trip south again.
After UB, AM, the girls and I walked a little trail near Lake Lucille and checked out the Iditarod Headquarters, we narrowly escaped being interviewed by some reporters desperate for anyone's opinion on Sarah Palin's VP nomination. Don't get me wrong, reporters are, uh, fun and necessary, I guess, but until the day when I can actually get some makeup on and not blurt out whatever backward, uninformed opinion comes to mind, I'll keep my distance. By the way, I think it's exciting to have our governor given such an opportunity (rockstah!), but I don't vote Republican.
Grandpa Jerry relaxed out here for a while on Monday, then he treated us to dinner in Anchorage. All three made huge birthday contributions, so we thank them for that! There will be two verrrry happy girls here on Saturday.
BossLady started ballet today. She told us afterwards that she wishes she could have ballet class every day. T starts cross-country running tomorrow. She's so very much like her dad! She'll probably even follow in his Republican footsteps. Boss could become a Libertarian one day but I don't know about Monsterboy. There are people in Wasilla who wear t-shirts saying "Our governor is HOT" - he'd probably fall in with that crowd.
