Leftovers

Here is Taco getting to enjoy the remnants of our dinner Saturday night.  Lamb shank.  She was one happy puppy.

No Pics But It Was Fun

Jay and I haven't had much time to take a little vacation without Solon, so this Saturday night we just got a hotel room up in Buckhead and stayed for one night.  We had an early dinner at Bistro Nicco which was wonderful and over the top.  Then we walked back to the hotel and enjoyed wine (Jay) and hot chocolate (me) in the bar, and then headed to a movie, The Descendants.  We slept in to 8! and then had breakfast at The Flying Biscuit and then headed home.   It has been so long that Jay and I have had a long, uninterrupted conversation, and it was just so much fun!!!

LONG Wait

Solon's friend, Stella, turned 4 this weekend, and he got a hand delivered invite about a week prior.  So every morning this past week, he would ask if it was time for the party.  He was over the moon when it was time to head up to their house, and he had such a big time.  There was an actual princess who came and painted faces, performed magic tricks and made balloon figures.  We stayed for 2 1/2 hours, so he was exhausted by the time we went home.

Off To See Lizards and Lions

The weather here is like spring, so this Friday Solon and I headed to the zoo.  It seems like we weren't the only ones up for visiting it, so there were loads of kids running around.  We finally landed the cool seat on the train...the one that faces backwards.  And then he played on the playground for too long:)  I was beat and having a hard time standing any longer.

Wanna Be a Rock Star

Solon loves Bruno Mars right now, and a close second is Adam Levine and his "Move Like Jagger" duet.  So I had a treat for Muffin Friday morning.  As part of Today show's pre-Super Bowl line up was Gym Class Heroes/Adam Levinie performing the song at Roc Center.  You couldn't have pried him away from the show.  He was moving his lips and bobbing up and down.

Got Something On Your Face

Solon was making one of his delicious concoctions the other night and decided to taste it...like a dog.  He didn't realize he had green food coloring all over his face, so it was hard to keep a straight face while he talked to me.  And note to self.  Food coloring is hard to scrub off if it has been sitting there for awhile.  Solon had remnants of a green nose the entire next day.

Hard To Capture

Solon has a game he plays every evening.  Jay honks his horn right when he pulls up from work, and Solon scrambles to go find a hiding place.  Jay walks in the door and I tell him that Muffin was here but then he disappeared.  So he has to go searching.  The search isn't that difficult because A. Muffin can't quit laughing.  and B. because he has like three hiding places he loves.

Here he is in one of his best spots. The dryer.
