I’m super tired and have 6 loads of laundry waiting for me in the living room, but I wanted to do a quick weekend update.\u00a0 We had a busy one!\u00a0 Saturday started early with a WW meeting (lost 3.6lbs!!) and then I came home to a tired, fussy Eve so we did early lunch and nap while Alan and Lex ran errands (recycled a ton of old computer equipment from the basement!)\u00a0 After Lex had a nap we went downtown for “Glory Days of the Railroad.”\u00a0 This is a whole day event with vendors and music and food and entertainment, all centered around the railroad station.\u00a0 The highlight, as always, was a ride on the train.\u00a0 We got there towards the end of the day so we mostly just did the train ride and climbed around on a few old fashioned trains.\u00a0 We rode up to the science museum where more people got on (including our neighbors) and then back to the station.\u00a0 Afterwards we decided, fairly impromptu, to get tickets for “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie” at Northern Stage.\u00a0 The ensemble is all kids (8-18yrs, I think they said) and it was great!\u00a0 We had dinner at a local pub (french fries for all!) and then went to the 7pm show.\u00a0 I was worried about the kids being up so late, but they were awesome!\u00a0 Lex laughed hysterically at a few parts (he seems to love slap-stick stuff) and Eve got a little scared (by the same parts Lex laughed at!) but they both did great all the way until we got home at 9:30pm.\u00a0 Luckily the meltdown was short and bedtime wasn’t too rough.<\/p>\n
Today we spent at home, hanging out, doing some craft projects, and playing outside.\u00a0 This afternoon we had a new babysitter come visit and Alan and I snuck out for some dinner.\u00a0 The kids barely noticed we were gone and were having\u00a0 blast with her when we got back.\u00a0 Yay!<\/p>\n
Ok, now I’m off to do the laundry and finish off that wine from the other night!\u00a0 Tomorrow it’s back to routine.\u00a0 Actually, we’re introducing a new component to the routine as Eve starts gymnastics classes tomorrow.\u00a0 Fun, fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
