never a dull moment - always an andrews

out for dinner with the x's "alone" (mom, are we going alone with you to a restaurant? - yes).  after a brief debate, huxley lands on sand point grill, lux grimaces, i agree, lux obviously wanted varlarmos to see what if any friends are there.  both hoping dad will show.  so we, three show up.

huxley'isms
* "my dad isn't coming, his name is geoffrey sidari"
* "mom you farted, or i farted, oh i mean someone farted"
* "lemonade isn't pink enough, can you make it more sweet, that will make it pink"
* all while wiggling - me "huxley lets go to the bathroom, you have to go" on route he in front of a crowded table of 60+ lifted his leg and farted, loudly, i noticed how loud the restaurant was overall pretended nothing happened - what else was i to do...he never did go to the bathroom

he also today:
* put on with my help the VERY same outfit he wears daily and says "everyone will be so surprised" and i said "huxley you wear this EVERYDAY" and he says "i do???" 
* poured himself a bowl of cereal, upon my arrival in the kitchen after hearing him bashing around he said "don't worry mom, i got this, i won't make a mess" oh i thought, he now pours bowls of cereal, good to know

lux
* doing fractions, 1/3, 1/4, all pretty easy, stumbled on 3/4 - sorry lux your out of luck, i'm "alone" with you at a restaurant without dad and he would know for sure what 3/4
* anyways, who does fractions at 7 years old
* she also had a playdate with a new girl that moved here this year and on route home said "well that was maybe my best playdate ever, and we used to be so shy of one another, but we won't be anymore"
* she also wore two french braids to school today and complained loudly about it, loudly but she did tell me at the end of the day "wasn't bad mom to wear french braids today because my nick name was braided humming bird today" - i thought - aptly named, humming birds sort of flap around you, buzzing non stop in your face...no other comments

both as i was were very happy to see dad at the end of the day before bed.

night night angels - can't wait to see what you bring to me tomorrow xo.

addendum...on walk to pick lux up from her playdate, while i walked the dog and huxley walked the stroller (much much larger than him) and collected his collection of sticks, rocks, flowers he said "mom don't you say someone to say hello to" and i said "i'm not sure" he said "mom say hello to spring" as he shouted "hello spring".
