Sheepskin slippers.

[velvetpage]

I got new bakeware, a hardcover Complete Works of Shakespeare, and sheepskin slippers, in addition to a few other odds and ends - TCBY gift certificates that are technically for Elizabeth but were given in careful consideration that Elizabeth would be bringing an adult or two with her. :) Some Friday before i go back to work, we'll head to the West End to spend those with my stepbrother's girlfriend, who works at TCBY.

The girls got lots of clothes, and one toy each. Perfect.

I didn't see most of what Piet got, because we were both kid-wrangling.

Claire was EmoBaby - every time I passed her off to a doting relative, she gave me this pitiful why-hast-thou-abandoned-me look and started to wail. It drove my sisters nuts.

It's now bedtime, in the desperate hope that Claire will let me get some sleep tonight.

Oooh - Complete Works! Yaay! The time is coming!

On another note, and because I hadn't seen it yet: cool penguins.

Thanks. :) We explained to everyone why someone who had no intention of taking an English degree anytime soon would be asking for the Complete Works. I'm looking forward to putting them to good use. :)

I've been to one TCBY, and that's the one. Ian, being raised in the west end, was very familiar with the place and made sure to take me there on a date at one point :)

I'm sure the girls will look adorable in their new clothes, even moreso than usual!

Ohh the EmoBaby.. I'm wondering if we can introduce her to anenomemama's youngest girl, who has the absolute cutest look of forelorn/pouting/disgust that I've ever seen a toddler manage. It'd be great for her repetoire!
