MAIN JAPANESE BUFFET

It's now Spring Break and Mimi and I have been spending a whole lot of time together. More than usual. Not many playdates, even with Blake believe it or not. We have just been having a whole lot of fun by ourselves.

Last Thursday Blake did call for a playdate but we just had a whole bunch of stuff on our plate that day. Had a dentist appointment all the way out in Auburn. On the way we dropped by our friends Angie's house to drop off some stuff for her. When the teeth cleanning was over, I thought that it would be a good idea to head over to the Pac Island Grill in Federal Way for lunch. It's a Hawaiian style place to eat with of course Hawaiian style food. However I made a wrong turn and saw this sign Main Japanese Buffet and we thought that we would try this place out as we were super, super hungry by this time. It was grrrrreat! It was Chinese/Japanese cuisine. All for $8.00 a person. $2.00 for drinks. Mimi chowed down on 2 bowls of miso soup, shrimp, general tsao chicken, chow mein noodles, and 4 helpings of manila clams. Then she still had room for her ultimate favorite desert of vanilla ice cream.

TREASURED MOMENTS

No folks Mimi is not the bad guy, she is a "Ninja" Also I guess if we
are to have another animal in the house, a Zhu Zhu pet is the way to
go. I (you notice I said I and not Mimi nor Greg) don't. Have to feed
nor clean up after Zhu Zhu. It never fails that whenever I go into the
kitchen there they all are. Butch is at my feet, Stanley is perched on
his little stool and even the Guppies are getting into the act.
Usually they swim happily all around thei tank, but when they see me
coming, they all huddle together and look at me with their tails
wildly fanning to and fro as if to say "feed me! Feed me!" Sometimes I
wonder if it will ever end, then I realize it will. That's when I wish
I had these days again because my baby is growing up way too fast for
me and so are her friends. I love them one and all.

LUNCH TIME

Today was my volunteer day and usually I get to go have lunch with Mimi. Actually we the parents can have lunch with our kid/kids any day of the week. I just do it on Fridays cause I am always there. Man! Was it freeze you ass off cold this morning! The wind was blowing so hard (25-50mph) that it knocked the fence down on one of the houses in our neighborhood. Then there was the hail/rain. This is how it was on our way to school. The weather was so bad that the kids were not allowed to play outdoors which made them super happy. Things have quieted down a bit now but I have quite of debris to clean up from the green belt behind our house. I thought that I would take this picture of Mimi and Blake because they are now both toothless and today was an exciting day for Halliwell as well. She lost her (first) bottom front tooth and was soooooo excited about it. She told it to anyone who would listen.
