Mommy is down in Arlington this week, but Lucy is keeping up with her correspondence. Gemma knows exactly when Mommy is coming back because she counts the number of outfits that are laid out. “You can’t pick out my clothes Daddy, so I know that Mommy is only going to be gone for two days.” Gemma made guacamole in school today and got to meet her Grandpal that will come and read to her throughout the year. “I don’t remember her name, but she was really nice.” Lucy carved pumpkins and roasted seeds. She would have eaten the raw after the kill.
