It's At's Boss Day today. And as a lovely surprise present to me, she called to say she was coming over for a visit! (At works with UNTF on the MSU campus and was nearby.) I can't stay for dinner, she warned, but I warmed up some chocolate chip muffins and I was making a lox sandwich for Nu, so At had one too and then both Nu and At had another, and some cheese straws while I was making the second sandwich, so that, basically, became their dinner.
At and I had gone thrifting a couple of weeks back and after we found and paid for some amazing things (a blue suede jumpsuit, a floral velvet dress) At bought some rings that were kind of ugly. So I thought I'd let At choose from some of my decidedly nicer rings as a treat today.
Nu came upstairs with us too. Not because Nu wanted any rings, but just to assure themselves that if they wanted any rings, I would give them some too. It makes me chuckle--in some ways, they're still the jealous little Baby Nu who would grab my chin and tell me I was "not allowed to look at other kids."
Pic: This is a jumble, but it was an unexpected joy today to have my kids--Max and Huck are in there too--all crowded into my closet, raucous, silly, and jokey. At was the only one with a phone in there and was the one who took this photo.
