Ga Ga Arrives

We picked up the kids from Nonny's this morning and took them to Costco, where they sampled every kind of treat they could grab.  In addition to the usual sundries, we came home with petrale sole, sea bass, and gigantic U-8 shrimp.  

When we got home, granddad arrived and the girls demanded he read them books.  After that they watched the new Muppet movie as I prepped supper.  The sole was pan sauteed with oregano, olive oil, and sea salt -- it was delicious served with fresh squeezed lemons, although next time around I won't try to fillet the fish myself.  

We have been coaxing cooperation out of the kids since their birthday party is tomorrow at the park.  They are more patient when they know they are getting a swing ride tomorrow...and cupcakes.  Sunday will be busy, so it's going to be an early bedtime for all tonight.  We hope it's better weather than today's wind and rain.
