this morning, we went to the gym and then spent the day at home waiting for grandma val to get here! we went out to chili's for dinner. malloy picked exactly what she wanted to eat - a corn dog, corn on the cob, and orange juice. rex picked chicken crispers and chocolate milk. he refused to pick anything from the fruit/vegetable section. when we'd ask him what he wanted, he would just grunt. he did NOT want anything besides his chicken and chocolate milk. we had a yummy dinner and then we got a nice birthday song (a little early, i know) form the staff and some dessert. i figured the kids would eat the free birthday brownie and ice cream so i ordered a piece of cheesecake. malloy saw the cheesecake and wanted that instead. she LOVED it and ate half of it. so i had the brownie and ice cream instead. when she was going to bed, she was talking about the cheesecakse and said "i was dying on that cheesecake". that might be my new phrase!! 

rex was reading this book, and said "look it, cookie monster bugs. that cookie monster bug's in space" i love hearing his perspective on the world! 

rex was making the toys do the hula hop (he was using one of my hair ties)

reading books with grandma before bed
