Since we were in the area we decided to make an impromptu trip to the Children's Museum. As always, we had a great time.
They had a neat bug exhibit going on at the museum. They even had a bug chef that provided samples of various bug delights. Hassie Clare ate several chocolate covered crickets, fried crickets and some kind of crunchy worm. And she begged for more. Quinn would not even look at bug food or any of the bugs for that matter. YUCK!
After a few hours at the museum we decided to have an early dinner. While in the car discussing what we wanted, Hassie Clare shouted our Japanese. We all looked at each other and decided that sounded perfect!
And boy was it ever ..... we all ate until we were full as ticks. Hassie Clare ate more then she has ever eaten in her life. I still can't believe how much shrimp that little girl put away - maybe the cricket food stimulated her appetite.
Sunday morning was delightful. I slept in with the occasional snuggle bunny curled up next to me. Breakfast in bed. Blueberry pancakes - my favorite. Jamie has perfected them. Hassie Clare and Quinn gave Maema the painted plates with their hand prints on them .... she loved them! Eventually I got up and we headed out for a little shopping. We went to Edible Arrangements to get Maema a fruit arrangement and then to Sam's to get me a couple new bar stools. We also picked up a cheesecake along the way for dessert at my mom's house. We had an hour or so to kill so we stopped in at a sports bar by our house. They have an outdoor patio and pretty good food. They also had a little 2-man band playing on the patio. The weather was perfect and we had a great time. We ended the day at my mom's house, sitting out back watching all the kids play and catching up with each other while eating fruit and cheesecake.
Notice my entire weekend revolved around food? Needless to say, I will be hitting it hard in the gym this week and counting every calorie I put in my mouth.
