Weekend without kids

This weekend the kids are down at the lake with Gram and Poppy, and we're getting ready for our first "adult" party tomorrow night. Ali even asked me if we should have some decaf coffee ready. Coffee? Decaf coffee?? The party is for Ali's Sunrise work friends, a few of whom are leaving the company after long tenures. It'll be fun. We have a kareoke machine.

Anyway, the kids were so excited to go down to the lake this weekend. Here's Jake deciding which cars to bring with him:After we dropped them off we stopped at Wegmans on our way home. Think of the largest grocery store you've ever been too, then imagine that store as a tiny wastebasket in the corner of a Wegmans. It's probably too big. If we lived near one, and Ali sent me out for milk or sugar or something (which has never actually happened), I wouldn't be back for two hours. It's so big there's actually a restaurant in the middle of it. We sat down and had oysters and soup and hamburgers. It's amazing what you can do without toddlers. You can actually just stop and sit down for 15 minutes. Jake and Sadie are not big fans of sitting down for 15 minutes.

Good luck Gram and Poppy! Just remember, the short one needs diapers!

We understand that not sitting still for 15 minutes. We have not even had time to check out tripdub until today. We have had a ball. Elmo & the gang were fun and Poppy caved in and brought cotton candy which we managed to get all over everyone.
We did remember to change the short one's diaper.
