So, let's recap the weekend, shall we? It was rather fun...
Friday night, I went out with a bunch of girlfriends. I have lots of groups of girlfriends, and I think (shhh, don't tell the others) that this is my favorite bunch of girlfriends. We celebrated a couple of birthdays -- ok, MINE -- at a great restaurant, and then we decided to take it to the next level. Live life on the edge. We went to a hookah bar and watched a belly dancer. And (shhh, don't tell my kids) we smoked a hookah. Anyway, it was a very fun night with a great group. Everyone needs great girlfriends, and I am the luckiest.
On Saturday it was freezing. Literally. Finn and Alex played flag football, and it was flurrying during Alex's game. Snow! On October 10! What is this??!! Brr. After I realized I just couldn't warm up after all of that outside time, I turned on the furnace at home. Bummer - I was planning to wait until November to turn it on, but then again, I was planning on average temps for October, also. Alex and I checked out the South Side Raiders tackle football team to think about next year's option. It was a bit intense, but Alex was not deterred by that. In fact, I think he was excited by all of the emotion. He surprises me, that one.
Sat night, we hired a babysitter (!!!) and had a date (!!!) with our good buddies Bill and Bob and Alan. We ate at Greenbush and went to a Baroque concert at Gates of Heaven. Just a wee bit different from the hookah/bellydancer experience from the night before, but I'm versatile, y'all!
Sunday was a nice and quiet day -- yahtzee (this will be known as the year of yahtzee for this family) topped off by family swim at the Princeton Club. Bob went to a book reading with a friend last night, while Enzo and I baked some cookies.
And here we are facing the week ahead. Looks like the cold is sticking around, so we'll be huddling inside. Playing Yahtzee.
