Slushy Weekend

This weekend was very wet and cold. Not something we expected for the middle of April, so we had to keep our outdoor fun pretty light.

On Saturday Daddy had a portfolio event where he helped artists do better work. When it was done, he came home to get you and mommy so we could go downtown for dinner. We ate at a new place called the American Burger Bar because they had the shortest wait of the restaurants around us and they also served a veggie burger. You amazed us as you read signs in the restaurant and were a complete gentleman. Good thing, because it was a VERY small dining room. We walked around a little in the Skyway then made it an early night.

Sunday was worse weather, but it didn’t stop us from having a great time. We took you to Turtle Bread Company and had yummy soup while outside it snowed. You were such an impressive eater, even using your fork to eat lentils without spilling a drop.

Then the highlight of our day; another great trip to Wild Rumpus, your favorite bookstore. It had been a while since we went there and this time you were unstoppable. You spun book racks, chased the chicken that lives there, watched the kitties eat and learned what sound a dove makes.

In fact, your “coos” were so good, we called Uncle Chad and Aunt Am so you could do it for them over FaceTime. You also got FIVE new books. Some more Sandra Boynton ones (which you really like) and a counting book with your absolute favorite thing in the world; butterflies!
