Black Tie Weekend



Well, our big night out was a success! ASL held it's semi-annual PCA auction fundraiser last weekend and Chris and I decided to attend, despite having a 12 week old at home. To ease my mind we had our sitter bring a friend for a few hours to get through bath and bedtime and everything went well. And you'll be impressed to hear that Chris and I didn't get home until after 1am! REALLY late for people who are typically in bed by 9! ha!

I also chaperoned my first school trip last week, to the Royal Academy of Art. Although it was a beautiful building and had a very good British Sculpture exhibit, I think the subject matter of many of the pieces of art was a little old for the kids, who were regularly overheard saying "hey, there's another weenie statue!" But I did enjoy spending the time with Josephine and her classmates and teachers.

This week we are preparing to have Josephine home from school for spring break and then working on plans for her birthday celebration. Should be a lot of fun, more details to follow. Chris Jr. is separating much better at school and his key teacher says he spent most of this week showing off his big muscles and even demonstrated how strong he is by hitting one of his classmates in the head with an empty milk bottle! Oops! Thankfully the kid hit him back with a frying pan so I didn't feel too bad! lol Little Madeline is still feeling better, although she's not sleeping as well as she has. She spends a lot of time in her car seat being dragged from one place to another, but she seems content and is really filling the role of third child well.

All in all it's been a fun couple of weeks and we're looking forward to a week off from school to relax and not rush in the mornings.
