Since returning from Hawaii, we're trying to get back into the swing of things here. The first thing the children wanted to do was to spend some time with Uncle Matt and Uncle Leo... and their pool!
There goes MD under the water again -- that boy loves the water!
So we visited Sunday afternoon and ended up staying.. for dinner! Matt and I were talking and I suggested we cook up some crabs! Vince was more than happy to jump on the band wagon -- he is a seafood lover! Leo laughed that i even had to ask him! Check out the cast of characters:
corn, clams, and mussels (it's in the white bowl behind the flower pot!)
smoked Kielbasa sausages and potatoes went in first:
the crabs being prepped:
the corns went in:
then the crabs -- see how he's clinging to the side of the pot? crazy, huh?!
last the clams and mussels -- next time we'll add shrimp:
YUMMY!
Leo being silly:
The children had fun in the process but during dinner they mostly ate bread, sausages, and corn. E was the only one that ate clams, mussels, and crab meat with me. This was fun! We'll surely do it again -- and add shrimp!
(Earlier in the afternoon.. I caught E doing this:)
Eying the grapes...
Going for the grapes...
Enjoying the grapes!
Isn't it a beautiful grape arbor?! Leo and Matt's hard work. And yes, they specifically bought the table and chair set with the children in mind! Yes, they do spoil my 3 entirely too much! ;)
