Summary:

Wake up being poked in the eyes, watch a 2 year old in a cast and a 4 year old go hyper on Chocolate and Candy.

Take said Hypers to a quite nice all you can eat Family Style restuarant for lunch

Return home and tried to do ‘QUIET’ time.

What could go wrong?

Actually, very little.

William woke bright and decided that Daddy really needed to be awake. POKE. Thankfully, my eyes WERE closed when this happened, so I was able to retain my eyesight. With little sounds coming from anywhere else in the house, Daddy and William watched a bit of the Formula 1 race that was on earlier that morning. Soon however, the sounds of V8 engines at 19000 rpm was drowned out by the sound of 4 year old feet running back and fro… The door slams open:

Dad! Someone snuck into the house and LEFT somethings!

It’s time to get moving.

I’m not going to describe the faces, there are pictures for that.

And really, there were better ones than that.

Remember the Hyper bit from above?

Ok, get dressed, get the kids dressed, and get to Monell’s before EVERYONE else in the city does. We succeed for the most part. William wore his finest.. although he wasn’t initially thrilled at the idea of leaving the Candy and having to put all sorts on.

Brunch was great, everyone (except the Kids, who refused to eat anything more than a roll) was stuffed, so it was definitely time to head home for quiet time. Strangely enough, even though they had plenty of sugar and starches, the kids refused to take a nap.
Papa and Grandma headed home, we headed around the pond for a ‘get out of the house’ walk, realized it was COLD out, and didn’t dawdle.
It wasn’t as busy of a day as I imagined it would be from the rest of the weekend (See Saturday if Jeff posts it), but frankly, that’s OK.
It was a good day.
