13 March, Saturday: Todd watched the kids and Jill and I went out. He wanted her to buy new clothes and knew I was the only one who could make her do it. Plus she favors plain clothes, jeans, t-shirts, long sleeve shirts, shorts. He said, "Jer, I don't want anything to come back that would look good on a boy."

And boy did we shop! She loved it. She doesn't trust her sense of style so likes to have someone with her when she buys nice things.

She bought a size 0 crop pant when the 2 was too big. That irritated me. But alas I have to accept the fact that my daughter is petite. The other clothes were all 2s or XS. (Why am I torturing myself by writing this?)

The really good thing is that she's not skinny--just a tiny person with a good metabolism. We had a fun day with no kids or hubby. She dressed in one of her new outfits and she and Todd went out for dinner.

The kids and I played with every toy in the known universe (okay, it only seemed that way), read books, and told stories where Kayla and Hunter alternated being the hero.

Rob called from Japan. Tomorrow Beata is flying to Guam to get her green card stamped into her passport. Shortly thereafter she and Rob will fly to Denmark to visit her Mom who is ill. I’ll be able to fly from the UK and meet them there. Can’t wait.

Stayed awake way too late playing a new computer game.
