I had to work this morning at the secondary school but that was a good thing as I was up the town and able to pick up Ann's musical instrument she fell in love with. (Realize this isn't the best photo, but Charlotte's little hands were desperate to 'have a go' so I had to be quick!)

While up the town, Vivi and I were able to meet for a coffee and discuss our plans for our day trip to London. She had to leave early so I sat in Costco reading the brilliant YA book by L.A. Weatherly 'Angel' which is absolutely fantastic. As I sat there reading, I looked up and suddenly realized I was 'one of those people' that sit in coffee shops reading, so I quickly left. Close call.

Afternoon was all about Lizzy before picking Charlotte up from school early for speech therapy where she was told her vocabulary was amazing and she was essentially a 'walking thesaurus' as if there is a word Charlotte can't pronounce, she'll just find a substitute word for it. She was also told that she talks like her parents as everything is 'No worries' 'that's no problem' and 'it'll be fine' LOL

Then we rushed home to change for the gymnastic/swimming routine of the night before a relaxing evening at home.

With the locus Michael brought on his way home from work. Charming.
