One Down... So Many to Go

The first extended visit with Leonard and Penny's mom was yesterday.  She picked them up from daycare and then dropped them off at the end of the visit.

I asked them what they did with her and they said that they went to a restaurant and ate and then they went to the park.  That's all fine and well... except I'm reasonably certain that it was fast food and the kids just don't know the difference.  There's no way it was a real sit-down restaurant.  And, of course, there's the fact that they eat lunch at daycare at 11:30am or so... then lay down for naps/rest time at about noon... and then she picked them up at 2:30pm for the visit.  So... yeah... they had two full-blown meals in a span of three hours.

As I write this, they are with their dad for his visit and I'm sure they're about 90 minutes into a massive junk food feast.  Just think of all the blueberries, chocolate milk, fish, pretzels, bananas, random vegetables smothered in ranch, pudding, and other crap he can stuff into them with three hours instead of only one or two.  I know that sounds like good food... but it's really not when they won't stop eating it for the entire visit. It generally ends with Leonard throwing up when he gets back to daycare or when he goes to bed.

Leonard is 3 today.  We have a small celebration planned tomorrow.  He told us a while back that he would like to go to the farmstead that we visited last fall.  Tomorrow just happens to be opening day there, so we will be going to celebrate his birthday and what is supposed to be a beautiful day of mid-70 degree weather.
