Very quiet on a Tuesday night. Ready to let our little ones roam your room displays. Ready to let the kids touch and feel - such textures! So many drawers to open, mirrors to peer into and floors to stomp our little boots on.
We had a small return and a few things to pick up (bibs that are practically a shirt- perfect!). After that, fun times!
First we visited the couch mama wants to buy (likely in brown - Grandma Jane should get a kick out of that, after passing on her mom's Eisenhower era brown couch to uncle Andy). A corner version that would maximize the space we have in our living room - so much seating! We'll see. Then we let you loose. You meandered the couches for awhile. Zoe started stopping at the bin full of sheepskin rugs. So SOFT. Roman too.
Daddy was watching Roman and I was watching, or rather following Zoe. I couldn't help but think of a recent conversation with Shawn, their daycare provider. We were talking about the Roomba. A vacuum like device that wanders your floor and bounces off the walls, eventually getting to all the space. Zoe was a lot like the Roomba. Making random, zig-zaggy patterns but covering every inch. She had a lot of fun exploring the 562 square foot faux apartment. The bed was even on one of those low frames. She couldn't quite get up (her boots were making it difficult), but her brother did.
(let's now pretend mommy is doing a fancy blur on the next two pictures)
Daddy suggested we eat dinner there- in the cafeteria this time. Normally we grab a hot dog or pizza from the take out counter downstairs, but we figured we'd live it up. It had been a while since we stopped in the cafe - probably nearly a year ago (it's blogged & tagged!), and you two were drinking bottles at that point.
Not this time!
We lucked out- Tuesday's bargain: Swedish meatballs, mashed potatoes and lingonberries for $2.50. Woo hoo
R & Z shared the adult sized version. It looked like a lot of food when I had it on my tray. But with Roman inspecting his sisters plate...
And Zoe eating her share...
It worked out. Zoe, are you learning eating habits from your brother?
Meatball on your nose even!

That couch looks a lot like Grandma D's 50's brown one. It was out of style so long it is retro. It has narrow arms and a low back and is build to last another 50 or 60 yrs. I kept it for sentimental reasons because I could hardly remember a time it wasn't in mom's house. She had it reupholstered. Originally it was a different shade of brown.
Saw the couch---it looks very comfy. Brown is good. Hope it soon 'inhabits' your l. room! annie
