Sunday, March 29

Grocery shopping, naps, cross-stitch, cleaning Lacey's bedroom, looking for the escaped turtle (we found him; he's fine), baths for the kids (complete with nail clipping!), lots of fun stuff. Clipping fingernails and toenails is when it is very obvious that I have three kids: I never in my life thought I'd sit down and clip 60 nails all in a row.

Aeden discovered that it is OK for Maren's American Girl doll to ride in his new toy stroller now, and so he pushed her around much of the day, or parked her near the kitchen balcony door. Does she like the view from that window best?

There was no alcohol sales allowed today due to the elections. The grocery store aisle was literally blocked off with black plastic and packing tape, and little displays of beer and things at the checkout stands were taped up in black plastic. Curious. It reminded me of the giant black plastic sheets that the fraternity houses in Pullman would attach between houses for parties. Gosh alcohol makes some people do bizarre things.

But at least something tasty for dinner: chickpea salad (nohut piyazi), beyaz peynir, lentil soup (mercimek corbasi) with rice, fresh flower (daisy) bread (papatya ekmeki).
