2009_02_22 Sunday

I treated the family to breakfast out today: at the bagel shop in town. Seemed like nearly every table there was full of kids, so that was good. And, on the way home, Steve/Vicky called from our house phone! They had arrived early and gotten into the house. So, we hightailed it home to see them. The boys had a date while we ladies had a baby shower for Dave/Steve's cousin, Jean, to attend. As it turns out, they actually live close to us, but the shower was nearly an hour away at an Italian restaurant. my luck. We sat with Jen and Cathy, so we had lots of time to catch up. Jean scored massive loot; we were all wondering how she was going to get it all home. maybe a few trips.

The boys had spent the afternoon at our local zoo. We arrived back home to find the men slaving away in the kitchen. Steve and Dave were making shrimp, home-made chicken nuggets, noodles for the kids, and my pesto with raviolis for dinner for us. The little men were wrapping up their naps. Bobby and Catherine completely exhausted Jonathan, who ran around the house chasing after them. What a nice, relaxing evening. I had some clean-up in the kitchen, but that's fair if I didn't have to cook. wahoooo!!
