Winter boredom drove us out of the house today, to - what else? - eat. A lot.
Specifically, lunch at our favorite Indian restaurant, and a late-afternoon crepe splurge. Owen wasn't too happy with our choice to get Indian brunch, and bizarrely kept insisting that we go to 'a French restaurant, so we can speak French'. Ooooo-k.

So, hey. Crepes, right? That counts! No matter that the only French he speaks is basically 'bonjour, maman' and 'rouge' and 'bleu'. Not so handy for restaurant conversation. That, and his dairy allergy precluded him from ordering anything off the menu besides a pink lemonade.

Too full for dinner.

Edit: Hey, the dome house is for sale!

Unfortunately, no. He pretty much only eats almond butter and jelly sandwiches, and chicken nuggets. He absolutely refuses to put anything new in his mouth, and would rather go to bed hungry. Alas. We try daily.

We just go out occasionally anyway, and offer him what we're having, and if he won't eat, we eventually feed him what he'll eat when we get home.

The other night I was watching Frasier, and when Niles was talking I thought of Owen. :)

I can't get over how cheap real estate is in your area!

Funny thing is that our prices are still rising while the rest of the country slumps...we're one of the more stable markets, too! So why aren't all you people moving out here? ;)

We actually have informal plans to, should the circumstances arise that would allow it.

[info]koyote would be all over that house.

That's so odd - cheap real estate, insane-o property taxes. Does that include the school tax or whatever?
But I don't care, the dome house is worth it! I want to live there.
