Loads of Sunshine!

Henry and Lu Lu sort through his millions of cars

Yesterday dawned with beautiful sunshine! What a wonderful Sunday! It was a lot warmer than it had been and the sun was shining like crazy. We left around 10am to take Marky back to work. Henry had a fit in the car because we left his pumpkin filled with his cars at home. Other than that it was a great drive down.

We stopped at Perkins restaurant on Alpine Avenue. I ate at a Perkins in Florida what feels like a hundred years ago when I was young but I haven't been back since. So it was a new experience as a family. We were pleased with the food and the restaurant. The kids' food was free since Mark and I each ordered a meal. Our total bill was for twenty dollars. Four meals, four drinks, and only twenty bucks! It has been a while since we have eaten that cheap. Granted it wasn't high end, high class but it was family friendly and fun which is a great combination. And no cranky pants people being annoyed that our kids were acting like...kids :-)

After lunch we dropped off Mark and headed for home. I think Henry fell asleep before we were even 15 miles down the road. We were home before 4pm and my mom came over. She made us dinner of tortellini mixed with cheese, peas, and bacon. It was very good but Henry only ate salad. Silly boy. Of course the best part was my mother putting bacon in my microwave on one of my good plates for five minutes. The package said 5 SECONDS per slice! About two and a half minutes in the bacon had heated to molten lava and broke apart my plate. Way to go Mom!

Overall it was a good weekend. Mark even got our taxes done which we didn't think would happen so now we are awaiting our refund :-)
