Adventures in Hanging Out

Erica and I had the pleasure of hanging out with two of our very good friends last night, Eva and RJ. Some might call this "babysitting," but we like to think of it as hanging out with some friends.

We got to take them to the dining hall here in our building for dinner. It was quite a production. The dining hall didn't have any booster or baby seats, so we mainly fed the littlest one (RJ) on our laps. They were the hit of the dining hall, as some 100 undergraduates watched the little ones eat. (Truth be told, I think they were watching Erica and I struggle to feed them more, but whatever.) Dinner took about an hour and fifteen minutes. It was a lot of fun. We knew RJ was done eating when he through a bite of food at us. It was clear that he had enough and was ready for a change of scenery.

We brought them back to our apartment and played with them. They were both equally enthralled by our fish tank. Eva was certain that the lobster was waving at her from his "hiding" spot in his fake log. RJ just wanted to grab the fish. Either way, the fish loved the attention.



RJ crashed out 20 minutes after finishing dinner and Eva was close to falling asleep thereafter. We watched Monsters, Inc. (which is coincidentally Erica and I's first date movie).





We only "hung out" with them for a few hours, but we were exhausted when they left. We loved our time spent together and hope to do it again very soon!
