Today was a full day!

It started with me sleeping in a wee bit, thank you! Watched my dad play games with MG, got an awesome video of them, it was precious! then she wanted to play with me, she taught me how to play Temple Run! Then we played a game with dad, it was a lot of fun.

Next, it was off to the movies to see Monsters University, dad hadn’t seen it yet! with RG and her twins, S& A, except for RG and her kids, dad was the only one who hadn’t seen it of our little group. It was still funny and charming and sweet the second time.

I don’t know how often you’ve gone to the movies with little kids, but it is so awesome to watch their faces as the movie starts and when things happen, watch their faces light up, look surprised, shocked, laugh, giggle, it’s amazing. So cute when they climbed into my sisters lap. The kids we had with us were 3-6 years old, all better behaved than the pre-teens behind us, very annoying.

After the movie, we went for a walk through the shopping center, stopping at a wonderful little toy store, EJ bought something for herself with her own money, very impressive.

Next was COSTCO, needed to get some shopping done, we tried on winter jackets that made us look and feel like giant stuffed animals! We had fun shopping and sampling, how could anyone still be hungry after all those wonderful treats? Apparently my nieces! It was churros for everyone!

Back home, unload the car, unload/load the dishwasher, chill, ha ha ha for a few minutes, then showers and out the door. Poppa was taking the girls out for pizza and I was a happy and willing stand in for my brother in law for drinks and dinner with a group of their friends. When we were leaving, the girls didn’t want me to go, awe..that was a first!

We met at M & D’s house and climbed into the two suburbans and they hired for us to go to Cambridge. We started at Brick & Morter fro drinks, then walked to Reverie for dinner.

The company was great, the food, not so much. Everyone knew each other from either kids in the same camp, synagogue, school, book club or lived in the same area before moving to this area. Everyone was genuine, funny, goofy, smart, witty and all around enjoyable to be around. Thanks to my sister for letting me join her, it was a lot of fun. I can tell how they feel about her, it made me happy.

We got back to the house, walked to the house, we said goodnight and went our separate ways, her upstairs, me downstairs, change into jammies and get ready for bed.

You tired from all that? I am!

Night night!

P.S. Happy birthday to my good friend JCT!
