Did the family thing today. Spent the morning out with Staci, and the afternoon/evening back here with everyone - Brian, Mom, Dad, Staci, Evan, even Brad came by after work, just in time for dinner. Chicken cordon d'or, broccoli and a variety of crusty breads; yummy, if I do say so myself. Not that I cooked it on my own - Staci and Brian had a hand in the making of our dinner, too. Yum! :)

We got crafty again today. After painting all over some papers (and my coffee table), Evan painted his handprints onto his shirt, so while the paint dried, he ran around here showing off his cute little buddha belly. He stuck on some star-shaped post-its... which was super cute. He got a good laugh from us all with that. Then he proceeded to leave little monkey stickers in random places all over the house. I think we'll be turning up monkeys for the rest of the month!

Unfortunately, the broccoli that went with dinner was not a big hit with Evan... we all made a big show of eating ours to encourage him, but he wasn't buying it. He finally ate a "baby tree," only to spit chewed-up green goo onto the floor. (Delightful.) Not that I can entirely blame him. I'm not a fan of broccoli either...
