Fabulous Weekend

Another wonderful and productive weekend!


Friday night I went to dinner with some of my lady friends! I had a really good time and we even stayed out late - such a wild & crazy mama!! We went to this restaurant called Clyde's - I love this place! Currently, in the DC area it is restaurant week so we got a 3 course meal for a great deal! My meal was delicious!  I had the Apple, Arugula and Goat Cheese salad for starters and then the Chesapeake Bay Rockfish for my main dish. We also got a dessert but I was a sweetie and took mine home to Will (Hazelnut Chocolate Mousse Cake). So, if you ever come across a Clyde's while visiting the east coast - I highly recommend! The restaurants usually have a cool ambiance to them as well.


On Saturday, we took Colin down to see Grandma Liz. His great-aunt Mary Ann was there as well as her husband, Gerre and their son Kevin (and his wife Sarah). We had a great time! This was my first time meeting Kevin and Sarah (so sweet). Liz made a delicious dinner, Mary Ann made a wonderful salad ( I need to get the dressing recipe) and Kevin baked some amazing bread! We brought the wine :) Colin was running around with/or chasing Rusty (Grandma's dog) the WHOLE time! He was so active! Needless to say, he fell asleep very quickly once we were in the car headed home, which was after we stopped by Grandfather B's again because we forgot something. Where Will, Colin and Bill participated in a cherry war  (wooden cherries). Being in mother mode, I was sitting on edge the whole time afraid Colin was going to get hurt but the only time one hit him he said "ouch" then preceded to go get more ammo...such a boy!


Sunday was our productive day. I worked on homework (Pert charts, which I actually like and Will was sweet and helped me) and then Will and I both went through some paperwork for house stuff...so much to do!!! Fingers-crossed that the process is quick and goes smoothly!



Oh, cute story...last night when I asked Colin if he was ready to go to bed he perked up said "Clean up!", which he then preceded to gather his toys (one by one) from the living room and brought them in his room (and even put them away in his toy baskets) while I cleaned up his room. It was so cute! Then he gathered the stuffed animals (one by one again) that usually accompany him to bed and tossed them into his crib! He attempted to climb into the crib but was unsuccessful! It was so cute, he was all ready for bed :) What a nice end to a great weekend!
