Remind me never to have kids. I babysat today. This morning. And it was not cute. Well, it sorta was. The kids are all adorable. Jack's 2 or so, Anna Scott's 3 and Bailey's like 4 (maybe?). Two different families. Anywhoo, it was a total 3 ring circus. And except for the fact that me and my brothers were never nearly as wild and wired as these kids, that's exactly how my house was EVERY day for years! We were even in a closer age span! My yeesh! I can't tell you the last time I babysat for anyone over the age of 3 though. I mean, it's been a LONG time!

But, to soothe myself after the eternal experience of this morning, I went to Duke Gardens with Anna. And I don't know that I've ever had a better get together with anyone! First of all, it was a glorious day. It was just a bit cold and the sky was very grayish-white, so it just felt like fall. There was this feeling to the air, one that made us skip all over the place. So, we went to the Gardens to take pictures...of ourselves. Haha, that sounds totally vain. But we agreed that it's not. Anna wanted some good pictures for her portfolio. And I wanted some pictures of my new haircut. We ended up taking a ton of pictures and explored the Gardens and went to all sorts of places and paths that we'd never been to before. Oofta woofta, it was fun! Oh, and by the way, pictures can be found here!
Then we went back to Anna's and uploaded pictures, listened to some good music and such and ate dinner. Then we went to rent a movie and I rode with Anna for the first time! Yay for licenses! We ended up with Chicago (only after first getting and paying for Importance of Being Ernest and then changing our minds in the grocery store and going back). And it was just the 2 of us at her house, which made it more fun, since we watched with the sacred blue blanket. I liked Chicago though. I wasn't sure I would, which is why I didn't go see it with her when it was in the theatre. But I definitely enjoyed it. And then after that, we went and listened to Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul (which I attempted to sign and failed miserably!). And then I played her my 2 newest songs. And then we played hymns (very badly!) on violin and piano. My graciousness, it was such fun!
