Max and Ella were sick and slept yesterday. We didn't get out at all.

Out and about today. Coffee and pastry at Bedini. Then off to the Pharmacia for soap, toothpaste, etc. Max's luggage arrived today - thank god. My underwear (which were in his suitcase) were starting to suffer from the daily washing & hanging dry overnight. Max is happy to be in his own shorts and shirts We laughed so hard last night as he put on my pj boxer shorts (really just men's boxers) to wear to bed. He had them pulled up so high. Played at the park and had chicken nuggets for lunch (Max was very happy). The milk is different. The juice is different. The pizza is a little different. Max was up at 2am tossing around for a few hours. We thought we had burned out Natalie's computer last night. Big panic. Going for gelato in a few moments. Hot, hot, hot. Slight breeze at the moment.

Andrea may take all four kids tonight and make them dinner. We'll escape for a pizza on the corso--free for a few hours. Though with Andrea's cooking, I almost want to join the kids.
