Shoppin'!

The mega toy store was quite impressive. The "rocket slide" turned out to be a big slide with a rocket on the top. By the time we were finished shopping, Lydia had had enough and was a little too obnoxious for the slide. We ended up waiting outside while Eloise enjoyed the structure. Most of the toys were still a little old for Lydia, but I'm confident that we'll "grow into" the store! The best part was having shopping buddies that we could go exploring with... sort of a girls' day out. Well, at least a girls' morning out.

On another note... the terrace continues to be a thorn in our side. They have informed us that they cannot lay the tiles in hot weather. Therefore, they will need to complete the work in the afternoons and evenings. Today was our first experience with this new arrangement. It is now 9:41 p.m., they have set up their gigantic flood light and have informed our babysitter that the plan is to work until midnight tonight. They will return in the morning to finish cutting the tiles... I pray they do not return before 7:00 a.m. and arouse Sleeping Beauty! The new schedule is to be finished by Friday. But then again... you know how I feel about "schedules"!
