it's ladies' night

Frank is out of town on a staff ride to Gettysburg. Lucky him! So, it is only us girls today. A1 is at a Luau being hosted by the God's Gang club so she will be having a good time then. A2 and A3 have been busy since school got out. It was raining on and off today, so I knew that the play would have to be mostly done indoors. A2's girl pal came over for a play date afterschool so the three girls had a good time playing the regular games: My Little Pony, Bratz, Littlest Pet Shop, among other games. After a few hours of that, we went out to find some dinner. It is late and the girls should be getting ready for bed, but they are so goal-oriented at the moment that I don't want to be the cause of a break in concentration. They are working with these little peg board thingy-things and it takes great calm and patience. I decided to take a snapshot of this time-consuming undertaking.

A3 soon became frustrated when all of the little tubes kept sliding off with every little shake of the table or with every yawn… A2 kept to her task. She ended up feeling very accomplished when in the end, she completed her cat. I ran upstairs to the ironing board and pressed her cat. She created a colorful work of art! Needless to say, this is the conclusion to a very busy Friday evening. We will now call daddy on his cell and bid him a goodnight.
