Exponentially Engstrom: Day 26; Friday, the 25th of July, 2014

Enchantress is hilarious!!!

Like really funny.

When we were on our way to our first stop (more below), we were in a car. Let me tell you it was weird to be in a car! I felt so cramped!

Of course, that could have been due to the fact that Enchantress and her (very large) car seat, Emergent and I were all in the back, with Enchantress and her (very poky) car seat in the middle.

I think Enchantress was feeling cramped too.

She kept intentionally putting her feet where Emergent’s were. Then she would say, in a whiny voice that only a two year old (and some teenagers) can use, “MOO SHOUR SHEET!!!!!!!”

For those of you who don't speak that particular dialect of baby-talk, I will translate:

English: Move your feet.

Spanish : Mueve los pies.

Translation to !Xóõn: I have no clue; Google Translate doesn’t have it.

That is a real language though!

Finally, after about 5 minutes of this, Dad turned around told Emergent to MOVE HER FEET!

She did, disgruntled, and without taking another breath, Enchantress immediately yelled: “Moo shour ARM!!”

Sometimes I’m not really sure I named her right. Sometimes she’s more exasperating than enchanting.

Anywho, Encumbered, Employed, myself, Emergent, and Enchantress rolled out very early this morning, at around 7:30 (5:30 to those of you in my home time zone).

We had to run to make it to a 9:15 tour of the Capital Building. Which I loved. I really love D.C. I think it is my favorite of all the cities I’ve been to (My hometown doesn’t count).

Ford’s Theater was the stop we went to after the Capital Building.

I especially loved the museum here. It was the only one so far that I actually got to spend as much time as I wanted reading (the rest of the family was asleep by the time I finished).

We saw something incredible.

When we walked out, we saw a pile of books, all of them written about Abraham Lincoln!

When I say a pile, I mean a PILE!
