"Lovin' the crockpot" - to paraphrase Marion - one of my favouritist peeps.
With Omi's help, we manage to put together a nice roast, mashed potatoes, bok choy, and squash. I left a voice message with dad earlier in the afternoon, inviting him to join us, but since we haven't heard back, I'm assuming his sister grabbed him for the day.
Knowing that we had a meal on the go made the busy Sunday chore day less stressful. (You think that for a gal who only had to cook 2 days a week, I would embrace this meal preparation thing, but I still manage to turn it into a bigger operation than it has to be.)
However, it is always a pleasant surprise when we can pull off a nice meal and have Omi and Opa join us. And tonight, while Omi cleaned up, I felt it vital that the evening be recorded visually - for posterity.
Post- dinner, here's where we found the family:
Reading in the front room:
Doing homework in the kitchen:
In the upstairs bathroom dressing up like Nancy Drew:
Doing dishes while the daughter-in-law takes pictures:
Trying to get the HD connection figured out:
Self-portrait into the dirty hall mirror:
Dad briefing the kids on how to work the new HD/BluRay hook-up (note mom is no where to be seen):
And the dining room waiting for the last bit of tidy up:
And now, most of the family are gathered in the family room watching Ghost Town - on
BluRay-whooooo! Time to refill my wine glass and join them.
Happy end of weekend to all!
(And best wishes to mom and aunties for a fabulous cruise!)
