A Royal Weekend

One thing I really love about being here is there are very few distractions. Weekends used to be about cleaning the house, mowing the lawn, seeing friends, and running errands and I swear some weekends would go by and I would feel like I needed another weekend just to catch up! That is all so different now! This last weekend was full of stuffing our selves silly at the best brunch buffet in the city, taking naps, going window shopping, and bopping our heads at an outdoor concert.

Entering the Le Royal. A moment of silence is necessary for this place...it is that amazing!
I was going to take pictures of the inside but I was too busy gaining 5 pounds...Whoops! Worth every pound!
Some family pictures after brunch.
My 3 favorites
I love Jack face in this picture. A classic "Jack face"!
Jane has got Dan wrapped around her little finger...and she knows it!
We went to an outdoor concert and listened to the Cambodian B.I.G....Ha! Cambodian rap is funny! Jack was dancing his little heart away (he has no rhythm) and thought that everyone was clapping for him.
The SWEETEST girl around! She is always happy and smiling!
Best friends
SOOO excited she can hardly stand it!
My sweet little boy
His new obsession is dinosaurs. He never leaves home without one!
Momma's boy
It was soooo hot at the concert that I could actually style Jacks hair with his own sweat...SICK!
And like most nights Jack dictates how long the night last. As you can see it was time to go!
We were the only ones with kids there, I think everyone thinks we are crazy because we bring our kids everywhere. They always get a ton of attention and the other night Dan and I were laughing because we decided that when we go back to the states they are going to have a major complex..."why isn't everyone staring at us?"
I am trying to get used to the fact that anyone and everyone comes up to my babies and kisses them. It's great to see that they are loved but for a germaphobic like me my skin crawls every time. I like to take them around in the stroller because then people can't hold Jane but, lo and behold, the other day at the mall a girl just starts unbuckling the stroller! Can you even imagine that happening in the states! I am trying to find a diplomatic way of saying, "take your grimy hands of my child" but so far I just watch on in horror and then douse them with antibacterial. So far no one has been sick...knock on wood!
