Lazy Saturday

After that burst of morning energy at Seton Hall with Greta's friend Maya -- did you know Russian moms and dads stole bread from their children during the Siege of Leningrad, condemning them to starvation? -- we didn't leave the house the rest of the rainy day.

The kids enjoyed their inaugural viewing of the 1989 classic "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" and Carey figured out how to turn on the new Miele vacuum cleaner. Caveat emptor: Buy the model with the power brush if you have carpets.

Lincoln brought down his collection of Beyblades and declared the living room floor his arena. He then monopolized Pegasus, who lost only about three times out of 300.

Somewhere in the middle of the afternoon Greta and Carey went quiet until I found them.

We ended the evening watching "James and the Giant Peach" -- a 1996 Disney film that has nothing in common with "Frozen."

It's not raining at the moment, but the forecast calls for 90% wet, so who knows how we'll whittle away the hours today.
