Sophie loves “Sponge Bob Squarepants.” This is her ode to him (it’s fairly nonsensical, in a 5-year old “Jabberwocky” kind of way:
After an additional nine inches of snow fell last night, the girls had a snow day today. I didn’t have a snow day, because the snow had the nerve to stop by the time we woke up this morning. Not that I would have been able to take a snow day…
I have a feeling that any future photos you see of the girls until March 21 (or whatever the first day of spring is this year) will be in these snow uniforms.
I took Chloe to see the rated-R (!) movie “The King’s Speech” today. She really enjoyed it. It was fun to take her to a movie that I actually wanted to see as well.
This is one of those extremely rare evenings where I am feeling relaxed. It’s Friday, I had my weekly manicure and the person who does my nails gave me a nice massage. The inside of my head is as close to being a black hole of nothingness as it ever will be, which makes it difficult to think of a subject for tonight’s blog entry.
I suck at Legos. Sophie, on the other hand, is very talented with Legos. When she wants to play Legos with me, I let her do all the work and I am her supplier. I dig through the box and find the color blocks she needs.
This is it. I’m feeling lucky. $355 million lucky. The Mega Millions drawing is tonight. And I know that when I wake up tomorrow, we’re going to be $355 million richer (ok, about half that after taxes). Especially since I actually bought $5 in tickets this time.

While Chloe and Papa were at the movies to see “Tron,” Sophie and I went shopping. First to buy Sophie some hot new sneakers to wear to her inaugural tennis class tomorrow, then to the Container Store to buy storage stuff for aforesaid Operation Shredder which, I am happy to report, is now complete.
We were reunited with the girls today. They were apparently extremely well-behaved at their grammy’s house. But they were desperate for our attention after not having seen us in a few days. This led to a little bit of sibling jealousy. Chloe wanted to sit next to me at dinner and Sophie, who usually sits next to me, burst into tears when she realized that the evening’s seating arrangements did not meet her expectations.
