Night & Day

What a difference a night/day makes! This past weekend, my girlfriends and I decided to have a girls' night out. It's definitely not the same as it was when we were in our 20's and without little ones who lovingly wake you the next day at 7am! But we did manage to have a little bit of fun :)


The A Team! Notice our coats are buttoned all the way up to our chins - it was a chilly 22 degrees in the outdoor tent. Not too sure why we thought hanging outside was better than the heated bar just feet away, but we managed to stay out there for a few hours!

Then the next day we all got together with our little ones for an Oscar party at Ali's. Definitely a change in scenery to go from a girls' late night to an evening with 10 adults and seven kids under the age 3! I think that was my first experience watching an award show with the subtitles on - not because it was in a different language but because each time we turned up the volume on the TV, the group of kiddos thought it was a challenge for them to turn their volume up even louder! I think I was able to catch best actress in between chasing after my active little man and trying to scarf down some lasagna :) But it was pretty fun to see all the little ones playing together and discovering their new friendships.


Not sure how we managed to get them all seated at the same time. Notice how there's a spot open between Aubrey and Nick. Poor Logan almost did a nose-dive off the couch and had to sit out this photo opp. And poor Amelia is getting upstaged by Tristan who is about ready to make his escape off the couch :)
