rain, rain, go away

Alice has a couple of days off -- don't ask -- and so we are retrofitting kate's schedule to compensate. Today's Baby sitter of choice is our young cousin Lucy Banks and my extravagant ideas of sending them to the Brooklyn Aquarium have been downsized because of the rain. I actually wans't too sure that it was a sensible trip for LB and kate to make because I'm not entirely comfortable that either one of them are competent Marco Polo types and will do well on the subway. It's a long trip. But Let me be clear. This is not just rain. This is RAIN. And it has been doing this R thing for some time now and the early morning forecast is for this R substance to continue to come down through the weekend. Heretofore the weeekends have been sacrosanct and sunny but now it just keeps on coming down.

Kate had a hair cut which looks great and then we took her out to dinner at our favorite restaurant as a reward for a sensational report card. She was beat having walked most of the day. Apparently LB felt walking was the safer path for junioir Marco Polos.
