Breakfast Date

Last Saturday morning we went out to breakfast with Nana & Grandpa Cermak. We had been wanting to do this again ever since our Christmas brunch, but we didn't feel that Evie was ready until recently. I am happy to report that Evie was an absolute angel. She sat in her chair and stacked up coffee creamers, played with her green crayon and paper, and giggled and smiled.

Grandpa helped her line up the creamers:

Gavin, on the other hand, was a completely different story. He managed to bite open a creamer and splash the contents over his head and onto not one, but two booths behind us. This could have been a really bad situation, but fortunately one of the booths was unoccupied, and in the other sat a very understanding father of a two year old! Whew!

After the creamer incident, Gavin didn't want to stay in his seat and didn't want any of our breakfast food, so Francis and Grandpa took turns walking around with him.

Here's Gavin plotting: "Hmm, what can I do with these?"

Evie wanted to make sure Nana knew where the ceiling fan was:

Back at home, Evie kicked a ball around with Grandpa:

A new turtle toy that Daddy bought on Ebay - Gavin likes to sit on it!

At lunchtime, Uncle David came over to be silly with the kids:

Gavin threw a complete tantrum when Francis left to run errands in the afternoon, so Uncle David took him outside to walk around. Too bad it was still hot - Gavin wanted to stay outside but after 40 minutes, he was all sweaty and flushed. He was not happy to be back inside. The end result of the day was an early bedtime for him!
