Fun Day Sunday

This last Sunday MFKL and i took the kids out and got some Lebanese food, which they loved! It was the first time we had taken them to an authentic Lebanese place to eat. My boys love hummus, veggies, lamb, yogurt, and homemade pita bread, so they were in utter heaven. I am pretty sure they ate more than MFKL and i.

The restaurant was very authentic except for the Hispanic's cooking in the kitchen and the Justin Timberlake playing on the stereo.  But, if you could get around those things, Nicolas is a great place to eat real Lebanese if you are in Portland. We definitely will be going back soon.

The next stop on our fun day Sunday adventure was to the nickle arcade, which the boys love. I love it on the weekdays because there is nobody there except for other little kids and usually very few at that. But, (sigh) it was what the boys wanted to do so MFKL and i downed a couple beers and off we went.

It was very busy and there were plenty of adults there without kids and kids without adults. We signed up a few months back for there loyalty program, whatever the fuck that means. Every so often they send us coupons for free entry and free nickles. So we only end up spending $10 on nickles and about 2 hours playing games. Meaning we get more than our money's worth. We ended up with 2020 tickets to buy prizes with at the end of our trip. The boys got of course candy, a robot arm grabber thing and also a helicopter that you can launch into the air over 100 feet. Best of all, i only had to stare down two parents and one kid, i think this was the most positive trip to the nickle arcade ever.

When we got home we enjoyed a much needed beer and let the kids play outside in between rain showers. All in all a good day, we even got the car cleaned out and some projects started in the lady cave when papa was taking a nap. It only took took two minutes to put the kids to bed they were so tired. I love nights where there is no fighting them to go to sleep and i have time to spend with MFKL without the kids before he has to go to bed. Mission acomplished!

Adult Dance Party

As most of you know i love to have dance parties with my family and friends, my sisters and i have been having them since they were all very little. My boys and i have them daily. On Saturday MFKL and i got to have our own adult dance party after the kids went to bed. An adult dance party consist of MFKL and i getting drunk and listening to music, dancing, and making playlists. It's way fun, and if MFKL gets drunk enough he does his naked James Brown impression which makes me laugh hysterically.

This weeks adult dance party was mainly 80's music. I will have to share the playlist we made. MFKL and i have somewhat different taste in our 80's. We do like a lot of the same stuff but i also like butt rock, which MFKL hates. If you don't know what butt rock is, its bands like..Guns and roses, Def Leopard and Motley Crue just to name a few. I love it, grew up with it and my kids are way into because of me, which MFKL hates lol!

We had a really fun night. Did a little making out to the Dirty Dancing soundtrack, it was a much needed semi date night. I did get to see MFKL James Brown impression and i woke up with my underwear backwards and inside out, in a little bit of a haze.

Here is a little taste of the playlist we made. Its called remembrance..
-She Sells Sanctuary-The Cult
-I Ran-A Flock Of Seagulls
