Yesterday was our last day home alone as just us girls and we tried to make the most of it. We hung around the house in the early morning and Caroline serenaded us a bit on the piano. Then we went to story hour at the library, where we learned a few new songs and Nora got to color a paper mermaid puppet (who we plan to use in our future puppet shows). Our grand plan for the late afternoon was to set up a free lemonade stand in front of the house for all of our neighborhood friends, but our plan was thwarted by an insane thunderstorm that rolled in right around 4 and lasted until after 5 (we sprung a few leaks in the house too, but I think I figured out the cause). So, we set up shop in the living room and served lemonade to Taylor and Judy, who came for a short visit. Then we joined Judy and her family at a Japanese steakhouse for dinner, where Nora got to watch 
her first cooking show. She was a little freaked out when the chef lit some oil on fire on the grill, but then she clapped when it was all over, so I don't think it scarred her for life. Caroline was asleep when we got to the restaurant, but woke up when she heard the clanging knives and utensils and stayed awake until we got home just before 9. Words cannot express how excited we all are that Daddy is coming home today...welcome home Mike!
