Another Busy Weekend

Our weekend was busy, as is usually the case these days. Saturday morning I took Rebecca to dance class (Ben tagged along because Joel wasn't home from his conference yet), then I took the kids for haircuts, then to lunch, then home for a brief respite before flag football. Joel arrived home so we all went to Ben's flag football game together, followed by a stop at Rita's for italian ice, because Ben had received some coupons from school for being Terrific Kid and had been begging to use them. After that we stopped briefly at home again, and then headed out to Kabuto, a Japanese Hibachi restaurant, for dinner. Unlike our last visit there, Rebecca was only a little scared this time. She didn't cry or anything but seemed a bit too nervous to properly eat her dinner, even after the chef left she was nervously watching the other tables as if afraid the flames over there would migrate. But, definitely an improvement over our last visit (where she and Joel had to sit at the bar until the cooking was done).

Sunday we had a quiet morning and then two barbecues in succession to attend, so we were out from 12:30 until 7. The kids showed no sign of wear after the long afternoon out, and indeed it was pretty difficult to round them up after barbecue #2, they were having such a good time and didn't want the fun day to be over. We managed to get them home and bathed and in bed by 8. I think we all slept pretty well last night!
