Sprechen sie Deutsch, Baby

We watched Cabin Fever last night. It was terrible. So terrible I managed to stay awake for the whole thing, then stayed up a little longer to watch SNL. Good thing I got some recharge-time this morning, while Mark took the kiddies to visit family. It's a strange station in life when staying home to run, mop, do two loads of laundry, and clean the bathrooms is somewhat of a break.

After naps we hit a new-to-us park, William Davies. The play structures were a bit wet from the rain, but they still had a good time. I think Heath's favorite part was catching the runaway soccer balls from the neighboring field and returning them to the players. I noticed a Tots & Tikes Soccer sign for 3 & 4 year olds and it got the old wheels turning about signing him up. We'll have to check it out.

Fortunately we were meeting Mark's family out for dinner, so getting them to exit the park wasn't too difficult. They were very excited to see their Aunts and Uncle and cousins. We met everyone at a German restaurant where Stella was able to get her fill of Potato pancakes and applesauce. Heath seemed only interested in sucking down his cousin's Shrimp Bisque and wandering around the place. Between the park visit and some enthusiastic eating (Stella HAS to wear her food), they were both desperate for baths and bed when we got back home.

And I feel like packing all our beach gear, loading up the car, and sitting in it until we leave Saturday morning. Six days.

Until then, Six Feet Under. We are almost through the series. What on earth will we watch next?
