(no subject)
i woke up to buckets of thunder and rain but biked to work under steamy-not-stormy skies. the babies and i were then instructed to go to the harvard museum of natural history. so off i go, 1.5 year olds in tow, or rather me lagging behind a larger than life double stroller. we get drenched by a speeding taxi on the way over but manage to dry off tears and brown water before getting to the museum bc of the forgotten shoe debacle, which made the whole journey take a ridiculously long hour. by the time we got there i was sweaty, dirty, grumpy, and only minimally damp. the girls were just damp. they enjoyed the museum as much as could be expected.
post-dinosaurs, stuffed elk, and amethysts, they didn't want to eat their standard atkins-esque mom-made lunch of BEEF and CHEESE so we walked home a much more efficient route and the skies opened up with 5 minutes to go. i opened up the parents' umbrella and was forced to cower under/juggle a gigantic red white and blue "god bless america" flag umbrella which was just creepy and uncharacteristic of the fam. as soon as i opened it, the "made in china" tag floated off and landed on zelly's lap. she laughed, took out her pacifier, and stuck it in her mouth.
