We had the Scovilles over for a homemade Thai dinner last night. The menu included edamame dip, ginger chicken, and basil beef with jasmine rice. Our favorite was the ginger chicken. The Thai was a little too spicy for Jack and Zerach so they dined on cheese ravioli, hot dog, and grapes. Zerach decided to top off his dinner by sneaking a big gulp of my lambic beer! What a party!!
After dinner Jack and Zerach got to take their "baths" in Jack's inflatable pool in the back yard. Once bath time was over and the boys were down for the night it was game time. We broke out the dominoes and it quickly became very apparent that the Scovilles have been honing their Trash Train skills. Even with the Trash Train defeat it was a very fun night!
