Dena's Pool and Dating

Another perfect day.

Hilde and I and 8 children went over to my girlfriend Dena's for some swimming and lunch yesterday. It was so fun. It was a little scary to have so many little kids (add Dena's 2 to the 8 we had with us) and only 3 adults. We managed to talk most of them into life jackets though and it all worked out.

We swam for a bit then we got out to eat lunch. I had bought a package of ham, a big package of cheese, cut them both up and then we had some ritz and cut up navel oranges. We had lots for all of the kids and it was cheaper than lunchables. And quite yummy. We brought popsicles for dessert and then Dena shared some delicious lemon/lime cake that she had leftover. It was perfect.

The kids ran around the backyard for a bit longer while we sat and visited and then we headed home to just hang out for the afternoon. Oh...and Kaylee, Hillary and I got pink dye in our hair...so fun and cute!

Last night Jim and I got to go on our first real date in over a year. Kaylee was at Jen's and the boys were at Hilde's. I didn't have to worry about them at all and we were not on a time frame. It was so nice to leave them and know they were completely safe.

We went to Kemah looking for crawfish. They didn't have any but we found Happy Hour and some snow crab legs. Yummy!! We walked around for a bit after and then drove around our old neighborhoods and stopped at Sonic for dessert. It was just wonderful and so very much needed!
Hildeisms for Monday:
She sat on the couch after her bath and then realized she still had conditioner in her hair and had to go back to rinse it out.

She was cooking hamburger meat to make spaghetti sauce and after a few minutes remembered to turn on the stove.

Life at Hilde's...never dull, lots of laughs!
