Dang it all, we had a ton of mussels lying around that needed eating. We could not eat them all in last night’s paella, so tonight we enjoy a mussel pasta dish.

The kids and Robin went downtown today. No one had school, so it seemed like the thing to do. Before taking Chris to lunch, the kids were quite happy to visit the Science Center. Our daughter’s favorite part was the TV attached to the pretend scuba divers. Our son just had a good time going from station to station. Then, it was time for lunch at the Kawasaki Café. The kids love it there because of the food and because they can take their shoes off while eating. We just like it because of the food (though the show thing is nice). After lunch, we grabbed some bread from the Bonaparte Café, which is conveniently right next to the Kawasaki.

In the afternoon, our son was quite the three year old boy, pushing his mom’s buttons whenever possible. Dinner was a welcome break from his antics. He and his sister ate the pasta with a simple tomato sauce while we enjoyed the mussels.
