Not So Snowy Weekend

At least in Quincy, anyway!
Despite predictions of six inches of snow last night, we woke up to find barely a dusting - not even picture worthy. Other parts of the area were not so lucky, with parts of MA and NH getting two feet of snow! Uncle Phil and Aunt Sue are currently without power in Billerica, as are Heather & Matt in Dracut. I am guessing Grammy and Grampy Robinson are without power too, but atleast they have a generator. Here we just had a very windy and rainy night.

Last night after work I dragged Mike and the kids out in the wind and rain to the Hingham shipyard, thinking that we would try out the Wahlbergs' latest restaurant there, a burger joint called Wahlburgers. I erroneously thought that the bad weather would keep people away -- no such luck. The line was three people deep and right to the door, so we skipped it and went to Panera instead. Afterward we went across the street to Old Navy where I attempted to shop for the kids while Amelia was a little devil child and pulled everything off the shelves and all the balls out of the bins (but really, what do you expect, Old Navy, when you have random bins of brightly colored balls throughout the store, and don't even get me started on all the crap you have in the check out line.) That store is basically just begging for toddler tantrums.

Today we spent the afternoon at Kate and Brian's house, where Charlie and Finn had a blast playing together and Amelia was actually cute and sweet until it got past her bedtime and she got cranky. Both kids fell asleep in the car on the way home (no wonder especially for Charlie, seeing as Finn has a trampoline, jungle gym AND a zip line, all of which the boys played pretty hard on.

All in all a fun weekend!
