Date Night Friend Fun & Natalie's Birthday Party

I have a cheesy grin on my face as I write this week's update.  I thank a wonderful weekend for this silly grin, it was the perfect balance of family and friends - adult and kiddo time!  In addition, we have spent the afternoon planning out our Florida trip and summer vacation long weekends - how can you be down when thinking about warm weather?!  Before I get into all that fun, let's see how the week shaped up.

We are Celebrities at New Horizon Daycare

I have my surprise date coming up in March!

 Thursday Night was Ravioli Bake

Do you think he liked it?

Or maybe it was the cookie. . . . HA

 Cutie Pie!

Friday - Wahoo we made it through another week and that much closer to spring!  I am starting to get the itch and thank goodness we have a FL getaway coming up because I need some warmth!  We can't even really complain about this winter since it has been fairly mild but still - I want water, walks, sand etc.  We rode together on Friday so left the office around 5p, grabbed kiddos and ordered pizza.  Sadly they sent the pizza with the wrong crust but it was still Friday night, so how bad can it be.  We cuddled up to watch TV and mom fell asleep at 8p, seriously I have become my mother!  I arose from the couch around 11p to realize everyone had gone to bed and I was alone in the dark downstairs - man this week kicked my rear!

Saturday - Dance class with the almost 14 year old ;-) HA!

Mom, Let's Go!

After dance we headed to the grocery and then some afternoon quiet time while Connor napped, Maci played on iPad and Clint/I laid on the couch - ahhhhh love some weekend down time!  Around 430p I started to get ready for the night.  We had date night plans with 3 other couples (Zehr's, Cassem's and Fike's).  Miss Kaitlin arrived around 6p and Maci was so pumped to see her fav sitter.  Connor on the other hand realized I was leaving and wasn't in as good of spirits, fortunately bed time was nearing for him :)  We made it to dinner at Pub 819 in downtown Hopkins and the fun ensued.

 Great Group

After dinner, we took an uber to Tuttle's where some friendly competition between couples began in the form of bowling.  I was HOT the first game with a 9, strike, strike, spare, spare in my frames but Clint totally fell apart in his frames and we came in 2nd behind the Zehr's who were also on FIRE!  Fortunately Clint found his rhythm in the 2nd game and I didn't fall apart too much in order to pull off the W!  Lots of laughs and good convo with great friends!

Bowling Fun

Sunday - I was getting things done around the house this morning when I realized we were going to be running late for Natalie's birthday party if we didn't get a move on it.  Maci can't be late for her best friend's birthday party - especially when it is at Little Gym!  Fortunately we were fashionably late, only 5 mins, and there in plenty of time for the fun inside the padded paradise.  Connor had a blast crawling around, surfing from equipment to equipment and just staring at the big kids!  Maci had a blast playing the games and seeing her friends :)  Clint and I enjoyed the Pizza!  Thanks for the great time Cassem Family!!

Post party, I have spent the afternoon getting our remaining FL plans finalized.  We also locked in the WI Dells for this summer and planned out a few other vacation days including some time when my mom comes to visit for Maci's recital and long weekends for 4th of July and the Fair!  Yay Summer Fun - I can't wait!  In a little bit we will turn to dinner, baths and Monday planning.  What a wonderful weekend!!!

Lots of Love,
