OSU Girls Weekend

Silliness During the Steelers Game Last Week 

We had a pretty quick week with both of us having some global colleagues in town which meant happy hours, dinners and long days.  The kiddos enjoyed preparations for Halloween at school.  We were all excited when we made it to Friday!  I had the day off and was heading to Columbus for "Gilroy Girls Weekend!"  The kids got to have a Daddy weekend solo :)

Friday - I flew out at 1p and got to have a slow quiet morning with Bravo TV and some packing.  Before I knew it, it was time to head to the airport and take off.  I had a very smooth flight and took a brief nap on the way out.  My mom met me at the airport and we were off to our hotel for the weekend.  Shortly after arriving, my sister Meghan also made it from Cincinnati.  My sister Molly had to finish an exam so we headed to a Mexican restaurant for our dinner and some early Margaritas - Yummy!

After dinner, we grabbed all our stuff and took an uber to Molly's house.  We had fun meeting her roomies and then heading to the Frat haunted house which only my Mom and Molly went through :)  Yes Meghan and I were chickens who sat on her Sorority's house while they were inside!

We then headed back to Molly's to get ready for Halloween party fun.  We had a few cocktails at her house and then headed to some bars so that we weren't too early at the parties.  We enjoyed some dancing and cheap beer and decided to call it a night around midnight and saw Molly back out to her parties before we hopped in an uber to the hotel.  It was such a fun night and people were amazed by "how much you guys all look alike!"  My mom one "best sport" for walking around as Dorothy haha!

 Toto Started Boozing Hard

Saturday - We woke to my dad calling at 730a (SERIOUSLY?!)  After lots of coffee, we started getting ready for game day.  It was snowy outside (YUCK!) so it took a while to bundle up and get out to my sisters.  We decided to get a brunch since it was a 330 game and wasted almost 1.5 hours at the worst Bob Evan's ever before getting up and leaving to Wildflower Cafe - yum, much better option!  We then quickly headed back to Molly's and headed to "Block" also known as Frat tailgate parties.  More cheap beer but good laughs meeting many of her guy friends and the current "dude."

While we tailgated - Maci had costume day at Dance

As many left to the game and we were heading to a bar to watch, Meghan decided to part ways to take a nap and then head to Cincinnati (1 down).  After saying bye to Meghan, Molly, my mom and I were off to Ugly Tuna for the game.  Honestly it may have been one of the most amazing games I have watched and in such an unreal atmosphere.  We were standing the entire game and the place went nuts on that 4th quarter come back!  So Fun!  

Trying to Stay Calm in the 4th Quarter by Being Silly & Hot Dog Cart Dinner!!

Connor had a slightly different dinner

We no longer needed a nap around 7p because the game was such an adrenaline rush.  We went back to Molly's and ate our dinner while hearing stories from her one roomie that rushed the field.  After finishing food, my mom came down from her adrenaline rush and asked if we would be mad if she hung in that night (2 down).  I flew all this way so of course I was going to go back out.  Molly, her 1 roommate Brie and I were off to Midway for drinks and dancing.  We ended up staying there the whole night where many of her friends met up and we danced the night away - I was proud of how many songs I knew :)  Her friends were great and I had a lot of laughs with my baby sister.  I was also proud that I cold keep up without falling all over the place or feeling like hell the next day.

Sunday - Alarm went off at 8a so we had time to do breakfast before getting to the airport at 11a for my flight (so I guess I wasn't getting sleep this weekend!)  I felt fine but was EXHAUSTED!  We ended up going to McDonald's b/c we were getting way too close on time and the Buckeye donut place we walked to had a line down the street.  The food helped wake me up a bit and then we said our goodbyes.  Molly was off to a nap and then her soccer game while my mom was heading to meet my dad at the lake.  So much or getting anything done on the flight because I slept the entire flight HA but I needed a fun weekend like this where I didn't worry about email, schedules or to do lists and was carefree :)  I loved my college days and it was fun to relieve my youth but was happy to get home to my kiddos and Clint!  After getting home at half time, I was also excited to watch the Bengals get an UGLY win!

The rest of the day has been cleaning the house, running lots of laundry, paying bills etc.  I am slowly falling asleep sitting up so I see this being a potential 8p bed time.  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and have a productive week ahead.

Lots of Love,
C, K, M & C
