We have had a nice day so far today too. We all slept in until 8:30 :). Woo hoo. After everyone was up and dressed (quite a feat let me tell you) we got in the car and headed up to the diner we like in Mt. Kisco.
The boys did great. Jack finished all his pancakes, one scrambled egg and half a bacon strip. Tor had half his pancakes, a huge sausage and some toast. I just love how they have their own tastes. After that the boys dropped me and Liv off at Starbucks and they drove around the corner to the barbershop to get haircuts.
I drank my venti green iced tea in a nice soft chair while I nursed Liv and read my book. It was so very relaxing. I rocked her as I ordered and waited for my $.54 refill, what a bargain. Then I strapped her in her car seat and we met the boys in front of the barbershop. They had just finished getting their hair cut. Brian and Jack look great but I think Tor's is too short. He still looks great but I like it on the long side. Apparently Brian does not :). No big deal, hair grows back.
From there we went to the Toyota dealership and Brian test drove the Highlander Hybrid. He is trying to decide between that and the Lexus 400H (hybrid). They are about the same except the Highlander has a third row (but without latch) and the Lexus has pick-up service when the car needs routine maintenance. For a busy guy like Brian that is a huge consideration. They come and pick up the car and leave a loaner car for you and then bring it back when it is done...for no extra charge. Of course the Lexus is more expensive that the Toyota :).
Then we went to Cranberry Lake Preserve (just down the street) to make watercolor butterflies and hunt for butterflies. Liv nursed while the boys took net and looked for butterflies with two of their school friends and a lot of other kids. Then Liv and I joined them and the boys made the butterfly craft.
We got home and the kids a had lunch (Brian and I were still full) and now Tor is napping and Jack is hanging out with us.
It's a great day and it isn't over yet!
Here are Jack and Tor's butterflies...

Now I understand why you always say you have 2 or 3 venti green iced teas!! Pretty good deal for Starbucks. That must have been really relaxing.

BTW: how are the chrysalises coming along? That was pretty cool how they were still crawling caterpillars when we arrived and had already started spinning their cocoons by the time we left!
