Settled In

Once we got them to Grandma and Grandpa's house, the kids didn't want to leave. We got them to church on Sunday, with a special tour of the temple and visitors' center, but I had great plans to take them all over the bay area. They wanted to curl up and stay at home insted. Here Will is reading the Complete Collection of Calvin and Hobbes on one side of the fireplace . . .
While Maddie tucks into The Princess Bride on the other. Monday, Grandma took them to see Horton Hears a Who and to lunch at Fuddruckers while Rob and I scoured the Expo looking at tiles and all the kitchen and bathroom options. Then we went to Blue Haired Betty's, who makes the most ambrosial food, bar none. We were there for late lunch, so we each got one of her fried chicken sandwiches, and then shared a strawberry shortcake for dessert. That woman is entirely responsible for the fact that I'm off my no-sugar diet once again. Finally, we went to Trader Joe's to stock up on some of the grocery items that one just can't find in Happy Valley on the cheap.
If we didn't have something more enticing to do, reading around the house was the kids' default setting. And playing Legos. And going down to Grandpa's basement and playing 'electrical station'.
