Krispy Kreme/ Nana and Papa

Saturday mornings are my favorite. No place we have to be, kids can sleep in, kids have finally learned that it is okay to let mommy and daddy sleep in a bit, overall a fantastic day!
This Saturday was no exception. Daddy was up early (5 a.m.) to go caving with some friends... which left just the kids and I to fill the day.
We started the morning at one of my FAVORITE places... Krispy Kreme. If you've never had one, you have no IDEA what you are missing. I think the most interesting thing is that I don't actually eat the donuts anymore (okay, every once in a great while I give in, but for the most part...) It's still fun to watch the kids gobble theirs- they both love the original glazed as well as the chocolate iced with sprinkles. Julia likes the cream filled and Colin likes the chocolate cake as well (as for Momma, well.... the chocolate cake rocks as does the creme filled, but there's always the lemon filled or the original... now do you understand why I usually just have a diet Coke?) I also like to watch the donuts move through the machine, and it's a great place to people watch. A couple of photos below.. the ones with the kids just didn't turn out, but this will at least give you a sense of what it's like. Don't you wish you could smell what was on your monitor??


We followed this feeding frenzy with a great afternoon with Nana and Papa. We went over to swim and then ate out at YC's Mongolian BBQ. Another one of my favorite establishments... this will have to wait for a future post (seems like a lot of my posts involve food of one type or another!) Kids had a fantastic time in the pool with Papa- it is so great to watch their faces light up- and to watch him enjoy them so much. My kids are so lucky to have their Nana and Papa as part of their lives. :) Here's a couple of pics....
They had a blast, as you can clearly see from this picture. We headed home after that for a movie and a ton of books before bed. Again, just another great Saturday!
