I think the weight is still a hold over from the japnese food on saturday. Jen's stepfather called a square-dance here in town and Her mom watched the kids while we went out for dinner. It's so nice to be able to spend some time alone to just hang out and talk. Even if we spend alot of time just saying how adorable our kids are. I'm a very lucky man.

My new  pants   got here on friday. I am now a walking poster boy for LL Bean. On saturday I drove down to Springfield in the afternoon and bought a new Pea Coat. After spending the morning with the kids at the Children's Discovery Museum, where there were two birthday parties going on, The quiet time in the car was nice. So I am now sufficiently outfitted for the next few months I think. Although I may pick up one or two more pairs of pants. On sunday we went to Borders and I picked up one of these. I don't know if I will create something that will save the world but I think it's pretty neat. It is also apparently one of the hottest "geek" type things to pick up. So far I wrote my name in it and copied a quote from Ralph Waldo Emerson into it. I'm not sure what else I will put in it yet.

Ok then, on with Monday
