Last night (Wednesday), I had to work, so Drew attended a party for Rachel's summer laureates buddies. There was a talent show, a potluck (he brought the chocolate-chip cake I put in the freezer after we decided to not attend the block party the day of Rachel's birthday party) and dancing with a real deejay.
There is nothing funnier than having a 7-year-old, as Rachel did, say to us earnestly, a few days before the dance: "Mrs. Van Hook said we're going to boogie the night away."
Sydney's mom Nicole graciously sent me photos that Sydney had taken of Rachel. They were pretty good, and I told Nicole to tell Sydney that. Perhaps that's why Sydney was friendly to me when I picked Rachel up from extended day today. I had asked Nicole if we could take Sydney out to dinner tomorrow (pizza and gelato) to celebrate the end of their three-week camp, because Nicole had invited Rachel to accompany Sydney on a "pirate cruise" around the Potomac (which Rachel couldn't go to because it was last weekend, when we were at Monticello), but Sydney and her dad are going to Kentucky for a few days.
So, I'm grilling chicken and making popovers and, hopefully, there will be enough time to get ICE CREAM afterward.
