Here is Becca at a playdate at the park this morning, shortly before the heavens opened up, sending everyone scurrying for their cars. No need to feel too sorry for us though, since Saturday was sunny and 76. The kids wore shorts, and we spent the majority of the day outdoors riding bikes in the cul de sac and playing basketball in the driveway. Nanny and Papa joined us for part of the afternoon and babysat in the evening, so Joel and I went to The Wooden Vine for drinks and Sonoma for dinner. Not sure if it was just an off night or what, but not particularly impressed with Sonoma. We had a Groupon though for $50 of food for $25, so it was at least worth it to give it a try at least.
This morning as mentioned our playdate at the park plans came to an abrupt and wet end, and following that we went to the JCC for the first week of Ben's junior soccer league. Joel and Eric, the dad of one of Ben's friends, got guilted into coaching since they don't have enough coaches apparently. One of our neighbors is also coaching, so he'll have plenty of company. Joel did complain about it an awful lot though, how he knows nothing about soccer, etc. No doubt he'll get over it.
After soccer --which was indoors because of the rain, so two hours of trying to keep Becca occupied on the bleachers with no help from Joel since he was coaching -- we came home and prepared to host some friends for dinner. Despite the rain, we (Or I should say I) cooked hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. Ben introduced his friend Colby to his Lego Star Wars video games, which his parents may never forgive us for, and Colby's sister Sara demonstrated the ease with which it is possible to climb in and out of Rebecca's crib.... which, if Rebecca begins imitating, we might never forgive her parents for ;) It was a fun dinner/ play date.
After such a busy afternoon and evening, the kids fell asleep in record time. I think I will not be too far behind them!
