Also, an update on the dining room chairs: I ended up ordering that fabric. I hope I love it because I bought it online, which means I haven't seen it in real life, which is risky. And non-refundable. Which is also risky. I ordered chair cushions since these ones smell like smokey, foody, coffee-ish, odorousness. Apparently they're a non-standard size which tacked on a good $50 to the bill. But $50 is worth it to not have to sit on those cushions anymore. I also bought lovely clear vinyl which will cover the chairs and protect them from things like spilled milk, smashed goldfish, runny noses, spit up, and play dough.
On Friday we headed to S.F. to visit Rich's brother, Marc who's visiting from Missouri, and see the Academy of Sciences. As we were walking from the car to the museum a lady stopped us and asked for water for her dog. Ok, look at this dog. I was a geek and asked if I could take a picture of it. It's a Micro Mini Teacup Poodle. It was the size of a freaking hamster! Darling but so stinking tiny!
I wish I got more pictures of the kids with their Uncle Marc. But honestly, our kids were driving us crazy. Macie kept throwing one tantrum after another, Ryan asked to see the butterflies about 100 times and the baby wouldn't sleep in the stroller and was exhausted and crying. So. . .hardly any photos. I did get this one of Ryan and Marc looking at the fish together.
After the museum we let the kids run around outside. They had a lot of fun running up and down the steps and around the big pillars and we were glad to have them expend all their energy so we'd have a nice, quiet ride home. With no whining. Or tantrums.
