weekend, in photos

Friday night Grace, Whit, and I had dinner with the Hawkins. The children had such a great time playing at the playground right next door and with Wally the golden retriever (Grace: was he named for Wall E the robot?)

As usual, Jen whipped up an absolutely delicious dinner – homemade pizza, one with pepperoni and one with pesto and sausage. YUM.

Sunset on the Charles driving home. Kids so wiped they both slept until 8 on Saturday morning: hooray.

Saturday night was dinner at the Ungers in Needham. I brought Dana a bunch of ranunculous (my absolute favorite after peonies).
Grace played Wii before dinner. Whit and Sam hit it off like a house on fire though Whit insisted on calling him “Benjamin.” Sam seemed impressively flexible about what name he answered to.
80+ degrees on Sunday. Morning at the playground.

Grace, Whit and I had dinner at Armando’s after taking Matt to Logan. Whit wore his exercise pants and a pajama top with robots on it (an outfit he selected carefully and insisted on). For dessert they had zucchini muffins that I put a few chocolate chips on top of and successfully sold as “cupcakes.”
Grace’s new favorite tee shirt, that I gave her this week.
