The Troops Have Arrived

G'ma and G'pa Ohio are here! For once they managed to arrive before 5pm rush hour. I'm not sure they recognized the place, traffic was moving so well. They are here through Sunday not only to help me out, but also because Uncle Kevin is in town for work and staying for the weekend--so they thought they'd stay over for the weekend too.

Eddie and I had lunch with Uncle Kevin today. And what does Uncle Kevin do? He gives him a knife to play with! To be fair this was after he asked me. Then Eddie jabbed himself in the eye with said plastic knife. He was fine, but it's something we can raz Uncle Kevin about in the years to come. A picture taken by him should be forthcoming...hint hint.

I also learned that Uncle Kevin is as neurotic as Den about cleaning/picking up the floor of the resturant in which we eat. There was a discussion on a parent listserve about this--do you clean the floor and table your kid trashed or just tip extra, or both? I tend to tidy up a bit (not the floor) and then leave a bigger tip. I figure with a bigger tip, they won't care, as someone else is bound to come in during their shift and trash the area again.

Will be nice to have g'ma and g'pa around to hang with Eddie and he sure has a good time.
