Harrington Saturday

The Brunos and Harringtons spent most of the day Saturday together, the first time we'd gotten together since Halloween. Andy and Angie just recently moved from their apartment into a house, so it was exciting to go and check out the new place. It's really nice inside!

First off we got the tour. The house still has that nice, fresh paint smell that always makes a place feel so new. Lots of hardwood floors, a guest bedroom, and a full-on basement are just some of the nice features. Joe really liked the new fridge, which has a little shelf you can access through a mini door on the front. Cool!

Xander was beside himself to get to play with Josh...and Josh's cool toys! We didn't see much of the boys while we were there (8 hours!) because they stayed in Josh's room unless it was time for food. They played, watched TV and got in trouble for jumping around on the bed. Predictably, Xander cried his heart out when it was time to leave - and it was almost 10pm by that time!

Angie and I played a game of Scrabble while Joe and Andy did a little running around town. I won, but not by much. It was a tough game! We wouldn't let the men folk come back unless they stopped at Dunkin Donuts for some donuts and hot cocoa (wow, they have good hot cocoa there!).

We watched the new Star Trek movie together, which we'd all seen already but love enough to keep rewatching, and some Comedy Central stuff. It was a really fun day! But long...I was dragging by the time we got home and Joe was worse since he'd worked the night before.

I do wish we could get together a bit more often. Xander and Josh seem to have such a good time playing together, and they're interested in a lot of the same kind of things - superheroes, Star Wars, wrestling, SpongeBob. Still, I guess it makes these visits more fun when it's not a regular thing.
