tropical storm hanna

m and c and i stayed in today and worked on our doll's underwear. well, i worked on underwear, m made shorts and a skirt and a top. c finished her undies, and then went off to play whatever it is she plays (it involves a lot of clothing changes and walking around in my old purple suede boots). meanwhile, outside tropical storm hanna raged and then quieted, and then raged again. k ran an errand all the way uptown to fairway. she craved "chaos." it's one of those pirate booty snacks. it's quite yummy. she brought back some other things also, and enjoyed a wet rainy walk. jack was very good while we sat on the floor and knitted our doll clothes. he slept on his bed and didn't disturb us at all. everyone watched movies in the evening. c watched little women, k and m watched harry potter and the chamber of secrets, and i was supposed to watch raise the red lantern, with my friend, but her computer wouldn't work, and neither would her internet explorer when we thought we'd do an instant download from netflix. of course, after i left and she was telling her children (who had returned home from an outing with papa) about the situation, everything worked again! very weird! i guess neither one of us really wanted to watch a movie. instead we talked and i helped her set up a blog and i showed her my profile on ravelry. it was a fun night with the wind blowing the curtains about and slamming the doors shut! and the rain pelting down.
