We woke up this morning and had a personal favorite of mine- Einstein Bagels with Diet coke. Yum. Lucas loves Bagels, I love Bagels, Andy loves Bagels. A win win for everyone. I thought to myself, why don't we do this more often? At any rate... Andy and Lucas have been sneaking around all week going here and doing that. So today I was anxious for the big surprise. And a surprise indeed! A new camera! I have been secretly wanting to upgrade, but didn't really need to... but the two boys pulled it off. So the first order of business was trying it out...
I am loving it already. My sissy sent me a package of all the things I hate to buy... and typically never do because I hate wasting money on it... things like paper towels, pledge, gum, gossip magazine, etc... a perfect gift! I didn't know this, but my mom had sent a giftcard to one of my favorite spots-lululemon- and Andy had wrapped it up with a "note" from my parents. I opened it and of course got teary eyed because I was not expecting a "gift" wrapped up. So Lucas and I hurried and got ready and headed to the mall for a little shopping. I am now fully outfitted in "mom" outfits for Summer. You see, in the winter time I wear Lululemon yoga pants (AKA Mom pants) almost daily. But it way too hot in this heat... so I got some shorts and most likely will wear them all summer.
When we got home my sweet Mother-in-law was waiting. Andy had planned an afternoon movie and my MIL was tending Lucas. We got to see Midnight in Paris which I thoroughly enjoyed...We came home to a happy Lucas playing basketball with his Minna. He was showing her all his tricks.
We Skyped with my parents which was so fun to see them. Lucas loved seeing them and it was fun to chat. I was then informed by the hubby to get changed for dinner. Charles and Angie and their three daughters watched Lucas for us so we could have a quiet dinner sans cheerios and sippy cups. Lucas love love lovesss his cousins who we call "the girlies". He thinks they are his older sisters and had the time of his life.
We decided to go to Kings Fish House because it is probably one of my top 5 favorites. The Parmesean Crusted Ono did not disappoint. I also love the menu with the day printed on it... June 22. (just an FYI... these restaurant pictures were taken with my phone, not the new camera.. hence the blurriness)
The free dessert was also amazing... chocolate cake with chocolate shavings.
When we arrived back to pick up Lucas, Angie opened the door and said, "I don't know how you do it, Lucas is nonstop!" For those of you who aren't nearby, you probably don't know that Lucas runs nonstop ALL.DAY.LONG. He never walks... it is always running. Angie exclaimed that Charles was giving the kids a bath and to head upstairs. As soon as we get to the top we hear Charles say, "Lucas!" and 5 seconds later Lucas comes running out of the bathroom dripping wet. We all started laughing because no one could catch him! Finally I grabbed a towel and we got the boy dressed. The girlies and Lucas played for another hour while the adults sat and talked. Lucas loved playing with the girlies kitchen and reading books. It is so cute to see the four of them interact and play together. I forgot PJ's so Lucas had to wear some of Beatrice's. These were the most unisex they could find... I personally think Lucas makes a darling little girl.
It was a wonderful birthday. A HUGE thank you to everyone that sent texts, emails, messages, and cards. It was such a special day, and I guess 25 is not that bad :-)
