This is a picture and a video of Clarissa trying to convince me to give her ice cream after her slice of pie:
After the girls got their after school stuff done, I fed the kids early. I halved pie pumpkins, seasoned and roasted them, and then stuffed them with wild rice pilaf and manchego–which they, miracle of miracles, ALL loved. Well, Mary objected to the manchego, but the rest of them gobbled that up. Then it was baths before watching the new Mulan movie while Abe and I puttered and tidied.
Then we put the kids to bed and my friends, Heidi and Courtney, came over. We sat around talking until 1am. We were all shocked at the time. But let me just say, that time flew. We had a lot to talk about, and they are both such intelligent, sensitive, morally grounded women. I felt so lucky to share the evening with them and Abe, who always chimes in with awesome insights of his own.
