More Partying

I've gotten into the habit of saying we have a "free" weekend when we don't have a softball tournament. Most of the time when someone asks me what our plans are it's usually "softball". And there's nothing wrong with that. It's our thing. This weekend we had "nothing at all to do"....and then I looked at my planner. "Nothing" actually included a fall carnival, birthday dinner with the fam, a baby shower, picking up clothes from a consignment thing I did, and the usual house stuff we have to do on "free weekends".

This is the first year I let B go to the carnival by herself....and by that I mean, I was waiting in the car the whole time where I could both entrances to the building. Because I'm that mom. Look, she was just lucky I let her go by herself mkay.

After the carnival we got ourselves all ready to go out to eat at one of my favorite local places. I had an amazing dinner and opened some great bday presents. Then the sweet waitress brought out this amazing piece of work...

I couldn't eat the whole thing, thank goodness, but I sure did try. Needless to say, I am hitting the gym hard today.

Sunday I got to help some of my best friends throw a shower for another BFF. We have so much fun when we all get together. And I think we have all balanced out our "place" in the party planning. Luckily, we have a creative person who made this beautifulness possible.

I made food and got to use some of my new wedding gift serving pieces. I may have been overly excited about that.

We laughed hysterically at this new baby shower game. Baby showers aren't boring like they used to be.

And a group pic to end the day. These are seriously some of the most awesome chicks ever! We definitely know how to have fun when we all get together too!
