Eenan’s 9th Birthday & Other Tidbits

I haven’t updated because I’ve been out and about. Friday, the 25th, we lazied around the house and then John, Alaethia and I went to Kumori. I called first to make sure they were open since some parts of McAllen still didn’t have electricity.

I wasn’t too happy with my visit that day. They were packed, so I wasn’t too bitchy, but they took forever to bring us our Miso soup, which made Alaethia throw a fit. Not even the chopsticks were keeping her busy. Then they took forever with the food and never came around to refill our lemonades, which they’re usually right on top of. Alaethia was not happy in her high chair so we tried eating as fast as possible so we could leave. She’d done so well the last time we took her LOL.

On Saturday we didn’t go anywhere since we were having a get together for Elda’s birthday, which had been on the 23rd but we were in the middle of a hurricane so we didn’t do anything. I contributed a Dump Cake (really have to add that recipe; it’s more delicious than it sounds!) and we had Shrimp Cocktail as the main course, yum. Mario got to Yadira’s early (where we were having the party) and I get a text from Maggie inviting us over for brisket that Hiram was making. We picked up some sodas and went over. Alaethia stayed with Mom (the mosquitoes were awful and her bites get really infected), Eenan slept over at Mary’s as always and Jaylen had gone with us but their boys were with their grandma so poor Jaylen was bored. Well, somewhat. He got to play games on their computer and then went outside to the garage with us where Jorge let hi play Guitar Hero. Jorge is obsessed with it! Jaylen caught on pretty fast.

We woke up late Sunday morning and browsed through the ads online, fed the kiddos and then Mario and I went on a date. We ate at Whataburger and then went to the movies. We watched Step Brothers, which was kind of disturbing and so ridiculous it was funny. John was going to go with u
