A Payne-ful Weekend

We had a great weekend. Sean's family came to visit on Friday and Saturday. We've been looking forward to having them visit for a while, especially since Sean had not seen his folks for over 2 years. Friday night, we all squeezed into our tiny house and I made dinner. William loved it. He had his Uncle Evan (12 years old) to play with. He made a new best friend. It was particularly challenging for me to put out a spread because I'm due for surgery in a week and my doctor has me on a crazy Slim Fast/0 calorie liquid diet for 2 weeks. It was the hardest thing I've ever done to cook dinner for everyone and not be able to eat anything but a nasty Slim Fast shake and water for dessert. That was until we went out on Saturday to tour Sean's ship and a Naval Museum. After that, we went to Ci Ci's Pizza Buffet. I can't believe I got through the day with out going completely crazy. Hunger aside, it was a great weekend and we hope to see the Paynes again.

The mustache looks like a black comb, especially on William. Good for you on the slim fast. It's all about the will-power. I'll drink slim fast with you, (most of the time) See you soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I LOVE the milk chocolate slimfast drinks!!!! It's like having a chocolate milkshake for breakfast. Then, just to keep things on the same page, I make sure I have an actual milkshake for lunch and/or dinner. The concept of "slimfast" is lost on me. It's all about the chocolate!
