Another birthday party! Rania, one of Lacey's friends, had a McDonald's Birthday Party this afternoon. I took her and wandered around the area (7. Cadde/Bahcelevier) in the snow and then chatted with "the moms" for a bit. I don't know why, but the chatting with other parents is just not my favorite part of parenting. I guess I need practice.
It snowed all day long, so the party we were planning on attending tonight was canceled. The snow sure looks beautiful though.
We watched Wall-E on the wall tonight (or Vol-i in Turkish, which looks remarkably like "Volume 1"). Brian and the girls first watched the movie when it was freshly released during our Disney cruise last summer. Now we're watching it on the wall amidst piles of garbage outside in the parks, little patches of grass amidst the vast stretches of concrete, and block after block of concrete cube apartment buildings. Two very different perspectives, both of which seem quite appropriate for the movie, which deals with overconsumption and garbage ruining the earth. Gosh the cruise was great, but it was also a little too like the spaceship the people escape from earth on!
