Thursday we had more yummy food. I made chicken tikka masala, which is my favorite Indian dish, but I've never attempted to make it from scratch. It was surprisingly easy and turned out great. We made chocolate souffle for dessert...also a first and also turned out great. It had a yummy hazlenut fudgy center that I loved.
Friday night we dropped the kids off at my parents' for the night and went out with my brother, Mark, and his wife LaDonna. We went to eat, then went and played lasertag, raced GoKarts, and played arcade games. It was such a blast. I am not going to comment on air hockey or Skeeball, since we were not working with quality equipment (anyway it was "IceBall" and they were plastic, not wood...totally doesn't count).
The kids actually spent the night with my parents, which meant no wake up calls during the night from either kid, and sleeping in until we woke up on our own (which, because we are getting older, is not that late, sadly). It was a little hard to be away from Colin overnight for the first time but also SO GREAT. Thanks again, mom and dad!!
Today was 71 degrees and sunny so the boys and I spent the afternoon outside. It was the kind of weather that just makes you happy. We had a great day. Tomorrow we are flying to New York for a week to spend time with Grammy and Papa and Geo, Ethan's favorite engine in their GeoTrax train set. We are sad to leave Jason, but we are really looking forward to our visit!

Grammy is very excited to see her North Carolina boys...wish the oldest boy could come.
I can validate that the equipment that we were playing on was not typical and should not be counted against the "skills" mentioned previously. Have fun in NY!!
February is a fun month for you two. Sometimes staying home alone can be a lot more fun than going out. The food sounds deliciosa!
