I love when my sisters come to play.
Last week sister Carrie came to stay. We played and ate yummy food and watched lots stuff on TV while she sat in her chair and embroidered in the evenings. I also may or may not have totally taken advantage of another adult being around to run errands, sans a few kids.
Carrie is awesome. And I love her.
Carrie, please come back because I need you to help me recover my couch. And also, you know those dresses that you helped me cut out? I have no idea how to sew them together. Darts? Are you kidding? That is serious stuff....especially if it is something that I will be expected to wear in public, I can't just fudge it like usual.
Please come back, soon.

We did the normal DC stuff. It's a good thing she didn't fly down here because I don't think they would have let her take it back on the plane. [enter cymbal crash.] (Did I mention that Carrie and Todd are in CT for the summer? Same coast Dude. That doesn't happen often for us.)
We went to the Museum of Modern Art. I hadn't been before. Though I much prefer the other kind, I can totally appreciate this, especially with Carrie. Who better to explore this place than with a teacher of design?
This one was very large, but I have to say that the view of the National Mall out the room-length windows in this room were equally, if not more, impressive.
Hm, yes, I see.
I rather liked this one too. Who knew modern art could be so interactive?
Had to. A Georgetown cupcake is a Georgetown cupcake after all. And just in case you were wondering, I had an orange blossom AND a sea salt caramel. One for now and one for later.
Todd came down towards the end of her stay. He and Carrie were nice enough to take Abby on a little outing with them for a bike tour of downtown. It was a hit. Apparently, that is the way to see downtown DC. And Abby loved being an only child for a day. I believe she even called them Mom and Dad. Whatever floats your boat little Abner. I am not crying, not really.
I love Carrie and Todd. Love them.

Who wouldn't want to be Carrie and Todd's child, even for just a day!! They are the funnest companions! We miss double dating with them...a lot. I love the shot of you looking all light as air in the modern art museum. So glad you got Carrieized for a week!
Sounds like fun!
Can Carrie be rented out? I need some help with my couch too :)
Oh man! I love love love these people! I'm jealous that you just got to spend a week with her. I want me some Carrie soon!
You just described what my perfect week would look like. I would eat, sew, watch lots of TV, take fun field trips, be a favorite aunt, eat some more, start a project that is over my head, and forget the wild world existed outside my door. But only if I had a gaggle of sisters at my side to do it with. And I would prefer to be at YOUR house because you live in a much more interesting place. We don't have big monuments here...or fancy art museums. I love having sisters.
What fun.
Hurray for family. Sounds like a great visit.
How fun to have them on the east coast with you for the summer! I wouldn't know about the dart thing either...
We had sommuch FUN! Just BEING with you is fun enough but you always go the extra mile to make it EXTRA fun. Your girls are delightful and I had fun being with them and taking Abby on a long hot field trip (she was a dream!). I made you choose hard patterns on purpose so I'll have to come back and help you! You are the best hostess, it is always so fun to be in your home. I want to come again while we still live in the same time zone!
I hope my girls love each other as much as you and your sisters love each other. That would be a dream come true.
Oh, and I'll take a Sea Salt Caramel cupcake to go.
