Home & Garden Show

Last night Jer, Maddy and I went to the Home & Garden Show with Jer's sister, her husband and Jenna. It was pretty interesting... Lots of good ideas for decks, fences, pools, hot tubs, etc. Jerry really enjoyed it, I think. Maddy loved seeing all the people there, but her favorite part was the APL booth and seeing the dogs. It made me very sad that we no longer have a puppy for her to love.

The girls were good. We pushed them around in their double stroller, and they were adorable as usual.

I do have to say though that the "theme" for the show this year was Holland, and so there were these windmills everywhere and this weird spot where you could eat Dutch food. It was just odd, and didn't really do much for me. There were tulips everywhere, which were nice, but it just seemed weird. Especially when there are all of these crazy booths like the Kaboom never scrub toilet cleaner, and the one swoop pooper scooper, and all these hideous little tables of porcelain knicknacks and bullshit little decorative crap. It's just a weird mix.

Anyhow, following the show we all went to Olive Garden for dinner. We didn't get to the restaurant until around 8:30. This was dangerous territory, since Madeline is usually in bed by then. She was really good though, and she ate a ton of food. I got soup, and she loved it.

I can't tell you how many times through the course of the night we were asked if the girls were twins. It's funny to watch them interact with each other now. They get so excited to see each other, and they scream back and forth at each other. It's fun to see them getting closer and growing up together.
