Oh, a fabulously restorative dose of Cooper Cuteness this weekend, Mr. Busy himself, in a constant state of motion-giggle-chat. John, Nathan, my dad, and I settled into my sister
Stacey's (check out her new
website!) lovely home this evening for an early Summer Sunday Dinner. Stace and I put the low-maintenance menu together via email and it worked out beautifully. I brought a
salad, full of as many veggie-share
veggies as I could cram in there, ha -
mixed greens topped with
roasted green beans and tomatoes,
fresh dill, thinly sliced kohlrabi, sauteed corn, chopped onion and green pepper, and a crumble of
feta cheese. Pretty and tasty. Stace made
Cucumber-Mint Raita, I brought
garlic bread, and we borrowed a genius page from my in-laws, Dot and John, by purchasing deli
fried chicken (in this case, the
Kowalski's version, delicious) earlier in the day and then
grilling it for a few minutes just before serving, to re-crisp and warm it...works like a charm. Stuffed, we somehow made room for

Birthday Party Hat, no less, for maximum cuteness. And then...when his (and Nathan's) running reached the edge of almost-frantic-silliness, we took our exit cue. (Why is it that the more tired children grow, the more energy they expel? So not fair...) After clear-as-a-bell "bu-bye" and "nigh nigh" wishes, we moseyed on home and left Coop to his soft jammies and cozy crib and a Good. Night's. Sleep.
