Busy Sunday →[More:]Was woken up at 6:00 by my daughter, after being woken up at 4:00 by my son, the latter needing a bottle.

Alice and I read Where's Chimpy, then I got her dressed and handed her off to Mrs. Plinth while I showered. Started uploaded photos from the Cummingting fair to flickr. I helped Alice brush her teeth and then we ate breakfast with the family. Mrs. Plinth and the incredible growing boy, went to take a bath while Alice and I made Pan Bagna in anticipation of dinner.

We went off to CostCo with her brother to pick up cook out items for Labor Day. While Mrs. Plinth finished the fort in the back yard, I fed two screaming kids. Between tending to Mrs. Plinth who was trying to calm Stuart and Alice, I got the last of our china packed up for storage (now replaced with melamine, far less easy to break), and started peeling 12 pounds of tomatoes. Mrs. Plinth took Alice outside to play and I put Stuart down for a nap, then started making ketchup. Put Alice down for her nap, bought plane tickets for visiting my dad in October.

Had a nice dinner of Pan Bagna, hummus and pita and homebrew. Alice sulked through dinner, Stuart fussed. Gave Alice a bath, put her down for bed, canned the ketchup. Touched base with Mrs. Plinth who headed off to bed (Stuart woke her 1 more times than me last night). Phew.
