happy birthday Mercedes!

Today is Mercedes' birthday! Ilya's taking her out for a root beer float tonight. She's been looking forward to that and the tiramisu we had for her party on Saturday for weeks. Unfortunately I forgot to bring our camera to her party, so I have no pictures of it, but it was fun. Ilya's family was there and Max was there, plus us. They made 6 racks of ribs and 4 giant burgers (like 2 inches thick) and baked brie and bruschetta and then had fruit and tiramisu for dessert. We were freaking stuffed. Then we stayed and hung out for the afternoon, played some games, then ate again. They bought birthday hats and had balloons all around too, it was really festive and fun.

Yesterday we did a whole mess of housework. We cleaned the bathrooms, swept, vacuumed, did laundry, and I even dusted. Alfred exercised twice, to make up for Saturday. We caught up on a lot of tv, a lot had taped since Alfred had been home last. Other than that, not much. It was nice.

Right now we're eating dinner, fish baked with pineapple and sweet potato chips. We baked the chips, they're more like fries really, and they're really, really good. And we're eating in the living room while watching tv, which we almost never do. I feel like we're being bad or something. Ok, the girls next door is on, peace out!
