Breakfast At Curran's

No pre-school today, no tutoring for Poppa...so we took Carl and Gus to their favorite breakfast hangout...Curran's. (or Coo-rans to Gus) It's such a special "hometowny" sort of place. We used to take our kids for breakfast before school on their birthdays. And now it's the favorite place for our grandchildren! I think Chuck took Carl for his first Curran's breakfast at 8 months!

Drawing on the backside of the kiddy placemats at Curran's has become almost a ritual. The boys describe the scene, who's in it, and all the details while I create it with crayons. Today Carl's was Molly's (their chocolate lab)doghouse....(which she doesn't have!)...and Gus's picture was "Molly riding in the bike trailer with mommy driving the bike!!!...and a flag on the trailer!!" We all placed our orders for the usual daily specials. It was decided that Carl had the best way to eat pancakes....the conveyor belt method! Poppa and I are really lucky to have such great breakfast partners.

We brought them home to our house to wait for their mom to come by to meet them. She came with Louise....which gave us a chance to see her with her new crawling skills! Soon she was getting all around in the kitchen. And she found the cookbook shelf!! Louise, it won't be long until we have fun with those!!
