Afterwards, I offered to be just as brave and host the next one, possibly close to Christmas. Covered dish? Grab bag? Could be a good one...
I had some errands to run yesterday, so daddy and Riley got to hang out. Apparently, she loves our new bed (oh yeah, last week, we got a new king-size Sleep Number bed. Mmmmm, what a change in our sleep patterns!).
Then we took some stuff to the dump. The garbage collectors won't take certain large items without an appointment and a fee, so Russell found out where to go, and we decided to take it ourselves. In the rain. But we were prepared (and kinda excited) for the adventure with our rainboots and umbrellas. Too bad Riley fell asleep on the way there, and didn't wake up until we got home. Oh well. She didn't miss much, other than a load of trash and huge machines pushing it all around:
By the way, if you're skeptical about recycling and trash separation (like my mom and dad are... they think everything goes to the same place no matter what we do at home), check this out. Really cool!
There was an awesome display of people's tossed goods on the mountainside adjacent to the dump. It was a trash shrine, and it was awesome. I can't believe Russell didn't take any photos of it. But, he didn't. Hmm, maybe we'll have to go back. Even just for the photo opps. But, we do have an extra house-full of stuff clogging our basement...
Oh, and last weekend, Russell and Riley also got to hang out a lot while I ran errands. It was raining then, too, and they took advantage of the new umbrellas grammy brought:
Crying. Dinner. Laughing. It was fun. Riley is such a goofball. She asks us to cry or go away (fake it), and then she likes to practice her caring, thoughtful reactions. Watch:
