My boy

Jonathan crawled across the room to greet me when I got home from class today, and suddenly the world was better for both of us. I opened the door and saw him poking his head around the kitchen corner. He moved immediately toward the desk where I put my purse down. I let him come to me and then grabbed him into the air and covered him in kisses. I packed him around the house, and we went to see what Dad was cooking for dinner.

Here we are trying on a silly hat. Jonathan wore it for a little while. I like the range of his expressions wearing it. J.D. likes the first one best. I sort of like the one were he seems to be saying "Oh Mom...."

Jonathan opened his Puffs and rolled around in them. He was quite pleased with himself and was having a jolly time snacking on them.

Cheesy-ology

So, we went for a walk Sunday evening just to get out of the house. J.D., Jonathan, and I went to a fairly new place on the Loop called... wait for it... Cheese-ology. They serve "fancy" mac and cheese. Now, we both were a little hesitant. We pretty much do not order anything we could make at home, but we both thought, "Maybe it will be amazing mac and cheese." I ordered the "Philly," while J.D. went with the "Black and Bleu." With two drinks it came to $19.85! Holy cheese, this better be great! In fact, this better be the best damn mac and cheese ever. Fifteen minutes later, they bring out a tiny hot pan of mac and cheese with slightly burned top pieces. J.D. was instantly put off by the tiny portion size. Come on people, it's macaroni noodles... you couldn't spring for a full portion size? They also tasted completely bland.

We won't go back to cheese land; good luck to them, but with prices and food like that, they will not be around long.

P.S. They are in the old "Pizza Hause" building, the place that tried to sell pizza without cheese. Ironic.

P.S. For Catherine, they offered the "The Hill," a dish described as "building on the STL favorite, Provel cheese and Salssicia are balanced by a top layer of Marinara."

Interacting with toys

Jonathan and I made up this game two days ago.
