Yesterday, I had my piano lesson. I’m waiting for some music that I ordered online to come and then I can start playing Bartok. I’m pretty excited, I haven’t played Bartok before and it should be interesting.

We went to the Butterfly Hunt! at the Center for Curatorial Studies at Bard. Usually, the gallery has art and Vince just runs around and I try to tell him not to touch the art, but this time they had a children’s program. Based on the name, we thought we would be looking for butterflies in the gallery (Katherine thought there might have been real butterfiles), maybe someone would tape up fake butterfiles or something, but it was actually a guided tour by the curator of the exhibit. We saw friends of Bob and Katherine, Eve and Hazel, who have just adopted their third daughter from China!

Then we went back to Bob and Katherine’s house where Katherine hosted a dinner for MooCow, a campus organization for the Heifer Project. Then we went to a talk about Heifer in China. Vince wailed and wailed, “I want to go to the talk!” It’s so funny we have a 3 year-old going to lectures.

Today is clean up day. Edda is back to her old self and proved it to us by eating a ton of food yesterday and this morning producing a poop so large that it overflowed her diaper and went up her back all the way to her armpits.

From the left to right, Genevieve , Emma, Edda and Hazel-anne.

Edda is back in fighting form!

I went with Sunny to see Big Bad Voodoo Daddy at the Fox Theatre in Redwood City. I got free tickets from Arif’s boss who couldn’t make it because she’d rather go to South by Southwest in Austin. 😛

Anyways, it was pretty happening. I like the big band style of music because it’s lighter fare. Not like the sappy, depressing love songs that I usually listen to. I’m also pretty amazed at the talent level of these guys. The piano guy was doing a solo and started using his feet to stomp on the keys.

Sunny saw some girl in the front row who was really into the band. She tried to get her boyfriend to dance with her. No go. She tried to get her boyfriend to stand up and scream and sway her arms at the band. No go. Being pissed off, she then turned around and promptly slapped her boyfriend in the face. 😛

Thanks guys for the clothes, the chocolates, the dinner, and the Bed, Bath and Beyond gift card. The chocolates were eaten within 5 minutes of opening the box. 🙂 Now I’ll have to figure out what to get at BB&B. Any suggestions?

So the shutter delay on my little Sony 2.0 megapickle camera is driving me to pull out my hair. Do I have to spend $1000 to get rid of that stoopid delay? I don’t demand much from my cameras, just take the picture when I push the gosh-darn button.

So Vince didn’t go to school today because he puked up his breakfast. Otherwise he seems fine, full of energy, no fever, no runny poop. Sigh. Oh well, maybe I’ll order pizza for us at home. Umm, Edda is still pretty fussy. Last night at about midnight, she made the hugest, smelliest poop there ever was. Luckily it wasn’t as runny as the poops that she’s had in the past 2 days. I think she is improving. What else? Hmmm…. Vince likes Legos and to cross-dress.

Vince with his Duplo house. Look carefully and you can see the two guys in the house sitting on Duplo potties.
