A few of my cousins, Erica, 13, Lorna, 9, Kelsie, 6, and Corina, 4, and I watched Finding Nemo at the Court Square Theater this morning. Afterward, we enjoyed a picnic lunch of PBJ sandwiches, popcorn, cheese, grapes, and maple oatmeal cookies at the arboretum. It was a lovely day except that Cara, 4, decided to stay home (serious separation anxiety), and Corina got a nasty splinter in her finger at the arboretum. What a brave little girl! She just held her finger and said "it hurts" occasionally. She was as good as an angel the whole day, the only time she talked during the movie was when Bruce, the shark, smelled Dory's blood and started to crave fish. Corina's take on that: "Uh-oh."
The girls kept thanking me for taking them today...I don't think they had any idea how special it was for me to have the privilege of spending my birthday with them.
