Sunday Dinner at the Thompson's

Sundays are typically a family dinner at the Thompson household and yesterday we were lucky enough to be a part of the clan...

Chillin' with dad before dinner...apparently this was very unusual behavior for Siena - I think she had to feel out the two new people in the room (Constance and I)

After dinner Siena got a little more comfortable with the two old ladies...

So comfortable in fact, that we played a game I now officially name "Boo!" together for the rest of the night - she would sneak up behind me, say "boo!" at which point it was my job to pretend to chase her which would lead to hysterical giggles and her running straight for her dad. I'm pretty sure we now qualify for best friend status.

Siena and the cream puffs she helped her mom make...mmmmmm...

After the running around of the last couple of days it was nice to relax at home and ease into a nice evening with family. After the "kids" left, we ended the day watching an English program on Canada's version of PBS called Heartbeat - the Grey's Anatomy of Britain I suppose (we have actually been watching a couple of different English programs every night - much to the delight of Constance: "We must remember to write the names of these shows down!"). I went to bed while the "oldie moldies" stayed up to watch another English program called Prime Suspect - starring Helen Mirren! I love her ("bun toucha"), but was too tuckered to watch (I know - talk about oldie moldy, right?). Anyway, I was in a dead sleep until just before 1:00am when I was woken up (awakened?) by a bunch of coyotes making a racket at who knows what. It was one of the most eerie sounds I've ever heard! It took me a good two hours before I was able to fall back asleep...so much for the relaxing day! : )
