A small step forward...

Yet another Saturday of doing chores...

We have ordered new beds for Jessica and Alex and it's time to start preparations even though the beds themselves will not arrive for another few weeks.

Before

I spent a good portion of the day dismantling Alex' mezzanine and putting all the pieces neatly away in the basement.

After

Alex and Desney then spent the rest of the day cleaning and getting the room ready for Alex to sleep in her new layout. Her new bed will hopefully go just where the mattress is.

The evening however was special. I started cleaning the mussels for dinner at about 18:00 which was unfortunately way too late to start. They took forever! The special event was Robbie coming over for dinner. The family hasn't seen him since last December and I hadn't seen him since we went out the La Villette Jazz Festival quite some time ago. It was great to see him and he had a great time checking out the house and the kids. We didn't get to sit down for dinner until after 20:30 after going through all the Champagne with a long apéritif. Dinner went well and afterwards Robbie and I sat around in the living room listening to jazz and shmoozing. I could have stayed there all night... however there are 3 other people living in the house... I put Robbie in a cab around half past midnight and off he went...

We're now starting the countdown to Super Bowl Sunday Night (06/02/2005) also known as our annual glorious guy's night out!
