elfsAfter all of the excitement of Friday, Saturday was much more sedate. We recovered at home for a while, then went north to visit with friends through the afternoon, dropping Kouryou-chan off with them and their little girl for an overnight while Omaha and I went to Kouryou-chan's school for the first evening fundraiser (excuse me, "giving campaign") of the year.
It was held in the school's dining room, which is surprisingly loud. We were all pretty much of the opinion that Montessori had made our kids better children, and had stories about adapting our home lives to deal with the way our kids dealt with new stimuli. There was wine and food in abundance while the school staff made their pitches and thanked every team (including Omaha's grounds team) for their hard volunteering.

lisakit's house, and I made an effort to tidy up the bookcases. I now have three full-size paper bags full of books to take to Half Price. The neighbor's kids were outside, so Kouryou-chan spent the afternoon riding her bicycle through the light drizzle that is Seattle's autumn. We had leftovers for dinner, played a few rounds of Quiddler (house rules helped a lot) and went to bed early.
Aren't we exciting?
