We had the grandchildren for the day from 1:00pm until 8:00pm. Earlier in the day Charlotte and Caleb attended a birthday party for a neighborhood friend, Milo, at a nearby indoor water park.
Once they got home at 1:00pm, they showered off the
chlorine, and helped to put the finishing touches on our special evening dinner
of dips, crudites, and brownies. Caleb and Joe finished making an onion dip
recipe from Raddish, while Charlotte and I prepared the brownie recipe.
Dinner was out of the ordinary as we served 4 different
dips, loads of vegetables, roasted potato wedges, pita bread, and potato chips
to dip into the dip. The ketchup ended up being our 5th dip for the
potato wedges. Both kids told us they thought it was a great dinner. It became
spectacular when they each had two BIG brownies after dinner.
Our dips for the evening were roasted red pepper, the onion
dip mentioned above, hummus, and tzatziki. The veggies were cucumbers, zucchini,
carrots, mushrooms, bell peppers, and onions. Charlotte as usual is the most
adventurous eater. She tried all the dips and stuck with hummus. Caleb ate about
a cup of hummus and his usual large pile of cucumbers. They both enjoyed the
potato wedges. I think they each ate 1/8 of a pita.
After dinner we played games until Megan and Jeremy came home a little after 8:00 pm. Tonight’s games included Don’t’ Break the Ice, Throw Throw Burrito, and Trouble. Grandpa and I came back to our flat to rest up. Jeremy, Megan, CHarlotte, and Caleb were going to watch a Halloween movie.
I enjoyed my time with the grands. I know I'll blink and they will be all grown up.
