Wednesday- Valentine's Day

Again Becky had to go out in the morning to get more ingredients for tonight's dinner and to get my prescription. She was gone the whole morning, and came back with Nicole from Pre-school. She took her time to stay with Nicole in order to make sure she would take a nap. I was worrying about dinner. All I knew was Becky was going to make seafood soup, the steaks were defrosted, and the shrimps were cleaned by me in between time watching Jason. So I tried my hard to put Jason to bed, but he just wouldn't co-operate. He fought with me the whole afternoon, refusing his milk and refusing to nap. All the time I wanted to go downstairs to see what I could do to help Becky. She told me to relax. The seafood soup she make before and does not take long to cook. Calmly she put all the ingredients over the counter. Then she followed her recipe step by step to prepare the whole dinner. By 5:30pm or so, Stephen and Sue came over with the rice they volunteered to cook. Becky surprised us starting to serve us first with crab cakes and salmon cheese rolls as appetizers. Mnn, not bad at all. The seafood was smelling good. She then worked on the mussels and vegetables. I cooked the shrimps leaving Jason to the care of Stephen, while Sue played with Nicole. Table was set with Becky's nice dishes. We even opened the champagne we got from our cruise. It turned out the meal was fantastic. Everything looked nice and tasted great. Jason was absolutely tired. I had already fed him. We let him sat by us at the table while we enjoyed the seafood soup. When I finished mine, I took him upstairs to his room. He went to sleep immediately. So I was able to continue my dinner just after a few minutes. What a joy.
