I went to a baby shower yesterday, and even with my weird hair, bored kids (no husband, no sitter) and early departure (Girl Scout Skating Day) - I had fun seeing old friends again. Martha, Julie, Nicole and some other friends were there. R wanted to see the baby, because he thought it had been born already. I showed him Kyla's belly and he was pret-ty impressed. T was silent and still, wistfully looking around at a house way bigger and nicer than her own. As we were leaving she talked it through, reminding herself that in the years to come we'll have more space and little luxuries. BossLady was bored, then hungry, then set on asking every 5 minutes if we were going yet.
We skated for an hour with about 200 Girl Scouts and had fun. Though I won't likely go back if I have to prop up a kicking/dangling 35-pound boy while I'm leaning forward and trying to stay vertical, surrounded by flailing children and other AFAs and GTWAMs.
The volcano, Mount Redoubt, has been erupting for the past seven days. The first warnings were issued months ago, so I think most of Alaska was ready for it. Flights are all tangled up, ash fell all over Anchorage and a few other places, but our area hasn't been affected much. K got to see a huge ash plume after an eruption yesterday afternoon. He was in Soldotna, east of Redoubt across Cook Inlet, for a hockey tournament. Keepin' the dream alive...
