We created Cafe du Alekszamonde. We made beignets and chicory coffee the way they do in New Orleans. Or at least how we *think* they make it in New Orleans. Complete with a cute lil waitress.
It was fun for Katherine and I to surprise Stephen and have some cooking time together in the kitchen. Complete with powdered sugar.
Saturday evening Stephen and I went out on a date. A real life only the two of us DATE!! Katherine got to spend her first evening with our new sitter Ms. Kristen. We think she's pretty awesome AND she's an NC State student who loves the Canes. (win win win)
Katherine and Ms Kristen made some crafts (including a fancy new bracelet for me), read some stories and played. Katherine thought it was great but was disappointed that she didn't get to go on date night with us. When I told her Ms Kristen was coming over she immediately said, "Aw man!! You're going on a date!!!" I said, yes... she cried... So... I agreed to a family date day the following day. What's a mommy to do?!
What a date day she had!! We went to the kids museum, followed by dinner at a restaurant that has TVs at the tables. Okay - they're supposed to be playing sports, but when you ask the servers very nicely to turn on a kids channel, they do so. It's a special "movie & dinner" event. After dinner we came home and had some dessert and watched the Sea World video that Tootsie & Pop sent to her. Pretty awesome stuff. She was quite pleased with the family date day!
So far this week we've had a visit from Aunt Nikki, went to cooking class, made froggie cupcakes (for leap day) and tomorrow is Dr Seuss' birthday. Busy busy busy! I think we're going to do a green eggs & ham themed breakfast on Saturday. =) That is, if I can obtain all of the items (like eggs & ham) prior to Saturday morning!
Here are some pics from our last few days. =)
We hope everyone is doing well! xo
