Every year on the day before Thanksgiving, Plymouth School conducts Soup Day. It's the day for the children to prepare soup and bread to share with their parents and grandparents. The kids are each asked to bring in a particular vegetable. In our case, each was asked to bring in carrots. The weekend prior to Soup Day, John kept on reminding me to buy carrots because he had to bring them to Soup Day. There were even two notes on our front door to remind us of the carrots. Maureen was aked to come in and help with some of the preparations for the celebration that was to begin at 11 AM.
So, the boys chopped up their vegetables and, apparently, the soup was really good. The rest of the time was spent running around like crazy and playing in the playground. As some of you readers may know, I loathe the sand, but that doesn't stop these little monkeys from rolling around in the sand. Aside from that, I'd have no complaints. The school does a very good job of getting the kids involved in the preparation and execution of a fine meal.
After that, we headed over to Larchmont Blvd for a nice celebratory lunch. We tried out the new Hamburger Hamlet Express. I'd recommend it. The food is reasonably priced and quite tasty. The boys love the milk shakes, so they were in heaven. For the record, John enjoyed a nice strawberry shake while Nicholas went for his usual Chocolate.
