New restaurant

We tried out a new restaurant tonight and I cannot remember the name! It was good, thought. It was Harold's birthday and there were about 20 people there for it. It was so much fun! We finally met his brother that we are always hearing about - LOL. The restaurant is over in that strip mall area on May Avenue, just before Wilshire. I think it is where the Mediterranean place used to be. LOL

Anyway, we had a great time and Jenn's mom came over and stayed with the boys. It was just nice to get out and about without the boys. We had fun!

New Year's Eve

Well, since we didn't have sitters for the boys, despite having been invited to one helluva party, we decided to stay the night downtown with them at The Renaissance Hotel. We went down to Bricktown and ate at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill and then brought the boys back and let them swim for a few hours. It was great. They had the pool to themselves, so they could be as rowdy and obnoxious as they wanted to be!

We let them have a late night snack and watch ANT BULLY on their portable dvd player. We would go to the balcony or window every once in awhile when a band would march by or something interesting was going on. E fell asleep about 10 pm, but K was determined to stay up to midnight, so he could see the fireworks. He fell asleep (no kidding) about 10 til midnight! I didn't want to wake him, because he was out and snoring.

We couldn't really see the fireworks from our room anyway, because we were faced away from them. We saw their reflection on the Sheraton next door (glass windows). But it was a really fun evening and the best thing is that the boys had fun and we had fun spending time with them. I wish I would have thought about it a little, and I would have gotten them party hats, leis and some of that sparkling grape juice.

Day Off!

Yesterday was a terrific day off! Camille brought Charlie and Aly over in the morning to play with Eli. The repair guy came and showed me how to fix the heater! Yay! The kids all played and had lunch and then after school, I picked up M too.

Had a nice evening last night. M spent the night with the boys. It was cold out, so I made red beans n' rice and after dinner, we played Yatzee Jr. and then Clue. It was a lot of fun. Then the kids begged to sleep in the living room, so we made a big pallet on the floor for them and let them watch a movie.

I got up today and cooked pancakes and bacon and the kids played for awhile before I had to take M back home. Now the boys are napping and Jenn and I are playing Pogo and talking. What a nice, lazy day!
