actually this is the update you've been waiting for...

the weekend wrap-up:
the weekend warriors that we're not now that we have 3 little kids - we just did an overnight a short drive away to charlotte on saturday. we scored free parking at a meter across the street from the entrance to the museum and then discovered that our admission was free with our membership to our local kids' museum! the museum is nothing like boston's or san jose's, but it was worth the visit and kept the kids entertained for a few hours. afterwards we checked into our hotel, went swimming in the heated indoor pool, and then headed to allyson's* (a nd friend aka stress) for dinner. we had a great time catching up and enjoying adult conversation while her kids entertained t-man and little miss k. on sunday morning, the kids went swimming again after breakfast and then we headed home in time for me to start baking for a superbowl party. overall a great little family getaway that was relatively inexpensive - total bonus. we'll have to do it again.

the superbowl party was the icing on the weekend cupcakes. i didn't have much interest in the game this year but it was fun to get out of the house and enjoy some good food. shout out to miss o and mister k** for hosting us! all and all - goodtimes...

* thanks again for dinner!
** i'm actually becoming a fan of this southern way of addressing adults

A lot of my students' families in CO were orginally from the South and I have to agree with the "miss"/"mister" thing- I liked it. It nicely contrasted with the whole "gangsta" image that they were trying to convey.
