the longest weekend...

slept in again, Kate & Kelsie decided to go uptown & do another photo shoot, so we trekked up there, walked thru mud, puddles, snow, ice...took pictures on the railroad track, by the old depot, etc. they picked up as many rocks off the tracks as they could carry in their shirts. then they came home & had to change pants & shoes to go back outside & lay on the chaise lounge wrapped in big sweatshirts. I think they went thru every pair of shoes Katie owns. Then Moriah came over for awhile, & Josh & Corey came over to run at the park with KJ, then they played football in the mud.
finally everyone went home, & Kate & I watched the 1915 silent movie "The Birth of a Nation", which was our big weekend plans to start with! we didn't make it all the way to the end, Katie has to take her shower at precisely 7 p.m. precisely. she's been a bit droopy today, hopefully just overtired. She had a friend over to play last Thursday, I think, who went home from school the next day with the flu. (one of my co-workers went home early Thursday with the flu.) I'm just waiting. The flu bug is lurking around every corner...
