Love is in the Air

Today is shaping up to be a long day. Tim is at work for a 12 hour shift and Eion was in time out by 7:19 for pinching his sister (He got up at 7:04 - 15 minutes of peace and then it was on.) Luckily, I am not quite as tired as yesterday. We went to dinner at Tony Pope's with Jennifer, Mark, Kirsten and Tom. They have wonderful "small plates" there which are technically appetizers but are big enough for a small meal. I had the saffron shrimp risotto which was really good. We had a little private room and as this group was about as far as you can get from reserved, lots of great conversation. From there we headed over to a cocktail party at April & Greg's which was so much fun! Great food, perfect weather and lots of fun people. I was disappointed that we had to leave early but was happy we had when the alarm went off this morning.

Morrigan has apparently found herself a man. My friend Kris told me last night that Morrigan told her son Mark they he was going to be her boyfriend. He has eyes for Shelby but will bend to Morrigan's will as "She told me I had to be her boyfriend." Not a bad couple anyway:

Maggie seems to have many suitors, one of the advantages of being in a class with so few girls. Apparently, she and friend Jack:

arranged a wedding in the gym playland last week complete with a limousine. What the hell, I never had a limo!

The kids are psyched that Before the Dinosaurs taped last night (which they are watching as we speak.) Morrigan is obsessed with two types of shows: prehistoric/dinosaur shows and survival shows like Man Vs. Wild and Survivorman. I guess they are relatively educational and certainly allow me to find out all kinds of great things. We'll be driving down the road and Morrigan will bust out with: "Coconuts can save you with their milk but they can kill if they fall on your head" or "Hypothermia is a real danger in Iceland" or one of my personal favorites "Did you know you can drink your own pee?"
