Home At Last!

Brent finally made it home! Yah for me. I was expecting him at 4pm, and he showed up at 1pm. Even better!

When the boys got home at 3:30, we started to load up for an evening out. We went to Old Country Buffet for dinner. The kids had received free dinner coupons from school and the community fair from last week. It's not too bad to eat out when you only have to pay for 2, instead of 7!

Jimmy, of course, fell asleep on the way there. He we laid out coats on the floor, and he slept through the entire dinner. About 10 minutes before we were ready to leave, he woke up. Good timing. Just in time for some Mac and Cheese, Fruit Cocktail, Cottage Cheese, and Cheddar Cheese.

The food was quite tasty. Yet have you ever noticed that at a buffet, the first 2 bites of something are always the best. Stop after 2, that's my new idea. 2 bites then move on to the next thing. That way, it won't start tasting gross :)


Then, we went to ToyRUs. Usually we walk around the mall, or Target, and the kids aren't really interested. But this time, we went to a store that we knew they'd like. We looked at most of the sections, and let them see all the cool toys. Jimmy had a good time with the plastic dinosaurs. He didn't really like them, and we all had fun teasing him by making them roar. I know, we're stinkers :)

After we left Toys R Us, we decided to go to Deals for a Dollar, and get the kids each a toy. Toys R Us is way too expensive. Tom and Jake both got dart type guns, Eme got a magnetic horse playset thing, Joe got a sword with sound effects, and Jimmy got a dinosaur. I got some earrings. It was a pretty fun trip, but the most fun part was having Brent back home!
