We had a fabulous anniversary dinner last night :) We went out for a late dinner at The Stinking Rose which is a restaurant centered around garlic. Their motto is "We season our garlic with food." It was wonderful! The restaurant is divinely decorated and the food was pure bliss. For our seating, it was like sitting in a little tent. We were under a canopy of red velvet that also went behind both sides of the table. We were not fortunate enough to get a table that was enclosed on three sides but at least we didn't get one of the open tables. We started off with a fondue appetizer (not really a fondue, but they called it that), also garlic rolls dipped in garlic olive oil and fresh, crushed garlic. Then I had a pizzette with shitake mushrooms, asparagus, smoked mozzorella and, of course, garlic. Chris had gnocchi in a garlic pomedero sauce. We then finished the meal with garlic ice cream. You wouldn't think it would be good, but it was, once you get past the odd factor. All in all, it was quite the successful anniversary dinner :)

The day was actually spent rearranging our bedroom. I am much happier with the current setup, it doesn't look nearly as crowded anymore. That pretty much took up our entire day before I fed Tabitha dinner and Chris took her to hula. My mom came over to baby-sit and then we were off to the aforementioned dinner.

Today we went to the Butterfuly Pavillion at the Natural History Museum. Tabitha and I have been twice before but this was Chris's first time. We've been in June when we have gone in the past but July is apparently a better time to go. There were so many butterflies all over and they would fly right around you so very close. Tabitha was hoping one would land on her, but it never happened. Daisy seemed to enjoy herself as well. After the butterflies we walked over to the Science Center for a visit. We only managed half of it in the hour we were there and promised Tabitha we would return again fairly soon.

Once home we did this and that and Chris left for rehearsal after dinner. I was suddenly extremely tired, I guess my late night last night caught up with me. I honestly could have gone to sleep right then. However, I have a couple of kids that I'm responsible for so I had to figure out something. I had a huge quilt spread out in the living room and sat on it with my back against the couch while my two babes played on either side of me and I just sort of vegged with the TV on. Now I've got both kiddies in bed, one is most definitely awake and the other keeps making noises and moving as if she's going to wake up so I feel it might be pointless to go to bed.
