Just another day

Had a late brunch with all of the in-laws today. We had booked a private room at the Jade Room at Hotel Royal. With six kids, the oldest being three and the youngest two months, it’s difficult to have family meals without a private room these days. The last meal we had at Ivins with the children getting in and out of their seats, running, singing and with two hawking photographers, I think we irritated many other restaurant patrons.

Then in the evening, we had another heavy meal. Took the folks to The Villa Bali. The waiter made good recommendations and it was a charming place but I was literally feasted on by the damn mosquitoes. I counted. Thirteen bites on my legs. Yeah… my lucky number. Fortunately this wonderful mother had attached a mosquito patch to each of her sons’ clothes. We had a great time and M really enjoyed being able to walk about during the meal, especially to the landscaped mini garden and fountain.

On a side note, I really need to get a remote control for my camera. The 10s self timer just doesn’t cut it. The photos turn out blurred.

Sometimes, I laugh at my stupidity

Dome at Dempsey Hill – Andrew was trying to decide between the fish and chips and the lot burger when, knowing that he loves lamb, I suggested that he ordered the ’sea-red’ lamb.

I blame it on reading too much to the kid and pointing at the big words and breaking them up into syllables.
