a day with the boys...

i unfortunately had to work a few hours this morning, but was lucky enough that it didnt interfere with us being able to do anything...i was home by 915am!! so i showered and kellie and i got the kids ready and headed up to rochester for the day. lunch at the dinosaur bbq and a play day at the strong museum of play (much thanks to gramma rita - kellie's mom)

kellie and i enjoyed all the driving, it gave us wonderful opportunity to catch up on a year and a half apart! we may have the internet, which we use everyday...and we have the phone, but nothing compares to having your best friend right next to you, chatting, laughing or just being...

lunch was delicious! we had some amazingly tender bbq wings to start and yummy chicken sandwiches...tuscan and the boys shared a bowl of mac 'n cheese (which later turned into matteo's dinner...he ended up eating almost the whole bowl!) tuscan sadly had a belly ache at lunch and the twins were suffering from constipation all day, so it made things a little extra challenging for me and kellie, but together we made it through the day!

the boys were also getting a lot of attention while we were out to lunch, the hostess thought they were the cutest boys ever and kept telling me how blessed i am! so that was really nice to hear, i dont have many opportunities to go out with my kids, so i soak up the compliments when i can! and of course, all three of them were flirting with every girl that would look their way (mandy dont tell lucia and sofia!!)

and we all had a really good time at the strong museum. frank and i have been talking about heading up there for a while now but just havent had a chance...but we will for sure be heading back as soon as the twins start walking! the boys had so much fun and it was amazing to me how much there actually was for them to do. there were even exhibits that we didnt have time to see! there were small areas that were designed for the little guys and they sure did love a chance to get out of the stroller and crawl around!! matteo found a mirror that he enjoyed playing with and he kept crawling at it and bonking his head and then looking at us laughing!
tuscan's favorite part of the whole day was definitely elmo's world! he was in awe at the fact that elmo's world really exsisted...he jumped right on the bench to play the piano...and we had to drag him out of the taxi car...he had so much fun! and on our way out we stopped in the gift shop and silly tuscan, the only thing he really wanted was a ring pop!! i love that boy...a whole gift shop full of toys and he wanted the $.99 ring pop!

the car ride home was nice and relaxing, the babies were all asleep by the time we made it onto the thruway. we stopped for some caffine at the clarence rest stop and thankfully we did because once we got through the toll on the 90 we were stuck in bumper to bumper traffic from the monday night bills game.

kellie and i had great intentions to scrapbook when we got home, but once we got everyone in bed we ourselves were about ready to crash...so we hung out for a bit and called it a night, i had a few hours of work ahead of me again in the morning and then a long day of shopping! yeah!!
