Rain all day. We had to postpone Dio's birthday party (which was just 2 friends at a park). He was very disappointed and kept asking if we could do it inside. Sorry, no. Not with the Covid situation.
We frosted the cupcakes and put them away in the fridge for tomorrow.
I went on a walk in the morning, mostly just to get out and to see if Lidl was open. It wasn't. But I'm glad I got out when the rain was light.
Ivy saw one of her friends carrying a bouquet of flowers home for her mom--a tradition on Labor Day. She begged and pleaded if she could buy some. I said no. But sneaky Eric let her and Inga choose two bouquets for me once I was gone :)
In the afternoon we had a family movie party and watched Passengers. Zari: "It was one of those average sci-fi space movies. It had many problems, like the fact that the guy totally did not deserve the girl."
I was reading Obama's memoir later in the afternoon and had an involuntary nap on the couch. But it felt so good!
I still feel groggy after the nap, even though it wasn't very long.
After the movie, we heard loud drumming and music outside our apartment. Eric went out with Ivy to check it out. It was the Festival du Chapeau as part of the Fête du Travail (Labor Day) and everyone was wearing these huge outrageous hats, dancing in serpentine lines, and playing music. Apparently it's an Italian tradition (and remember, Nice was part of Italy not that long ago). Ivy got very disturbed because they were all packed together and not wearing masks.
The kids were bouncing off the walls by the end of the day. It's hard being cooped up inside!
We're watching Baya, the Pekinese dog, this weekend. She provided welcome entertainment today.
