Sunday musings

It is Sunday and it is quiet at my house. These two things do not usually go hand in hand. But I'm enjoying it. I am currently hiding from my children with a bowl of chocolate ice cream. I'm eating the last of it. Yum.
Taylor left for a CE course in Seattle so it's just me and the kids for 4 days.
I have been working on my St. George paintings some more. I am liking the way they are turning out.
My parents moved back to Saudi last week. Not that it really matters for me, they still come visit twice a year at least from wherever they are. They were living in Houston for 6 months or so. Now they're in Al-Kohbar. I'd like to go and visit sometime but the tickets are so darn expensive and I'd have to fly Kandy (Taylor's mom) out to watch the kids..but maybe someday.
Taylor and I went on a date last night. This is noteworthy because we hardly ever go. We went to Basil Flats and had some salad and a humus bowl. It was pretty good. Taylor's still trying to loose a few pounds (hence the salad), which by the way, he has faithfully been going to the gym. It's funny we can never finish a conversation with the kids around yet when we go out alone, we can't think of a whole lot to say. Unless it's about work, which there's always that. Maybe we should go out more. Probably. After dinner we went to the hardware store. Hot, I know. We looked at cabinet ideas for his office. Also romantic. I think what I'm saying here is we need a little more romance in the marraige. Or at least I do, I don't think he thinks we do.
