February Birthdays

-
Dustin Clayton and CJ Sahs of our "best friend group" both have birthdays in the month of February.  To celebrate them turning "some age in their mid to late 30s" we went to dinner at Fable. I can't remember when we actually went because this happened a year ago, and I am just now getting around to posting it. I do remember it was the tail end of the week of the big snow because we were slipping and sliding in our heels from the parking lot to the restaurant.

We all decided to met at the Clayton's house to get ready for the evening.  The girls all got ready in Elena's bathroom.  And then were was Anna...

I think we all changed at least twice - except for Amanda.  The end result was pretty darn good for a bunch of moms.

I had never been to Fable before.  It was dark, and had macabre drawings of conglomerated animals all over the walls, but I did like the ambiance.   

I don't remember a lot about dinner.  Elena had just recently found out that she was being considered for a position with the FBI.  I do recall that we discussed this because I felted bummed.  After dinner we went to the upstairs lounge.  Anna test drove the chesterfield sofas while Elena played 90s music on the firepit.

It was a good night.  Happy Birthday guys!

This doesn't have anything to do with the birthday, but I thought that it would work here since it is the same "best friend group."  This is one of my favorite pictures the five of us.  We all went over to Anna's for a girls' "middle hair part" hottub night.  First, Elena showed us how to make our eyebrows look thick and bushy using a glue technique.  Next we ate Mexican food.  Then, we hottubbed.

Today we woke up at 6:30 to prepare for our big day at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure. The shuttle from the hotel left for the park at 8:00 meaning that we had to be downstairs and ready to go at 7:45. At 7:30 we realized that we had to book our spot on the shuttle the night before. Oops. For two people with jobs requiring close attention to detail we completely fall apart in our personal life. Fortunately we were able to purchase a ticket and catch the 8:00 shuttle anyway. The shuttle ride was interesting; we ended up sitting behind a young couple that could have left about 90% of their PDA in their hotel room and it still would have been too much for my taste. When we got to the park we noticed our ticket required that we show I.D. Well, I didn't bring my purse with me. Oops. After reading and rereading the fine print, we lawyerly types figured out an interpretation that would allow me to get into the park without producing photo i.d. We geared up for the fight

Wednesday night I got a strange phone call from Michael; he asked if I could get an ice pack and a couple ibuprofen ready for him.  Check it out . . .   He went to the doctor Thursday morning and came home with a boot, a pressure sock and a pair of crutches.  Looks like he will be out of commission for approximately two months.

On Sunday morning we slept until 9:30!  Finn was up with the sun, of course, but Sam slept until a little after 9:00. When we got up the sun was shining so we decided to hang the boys gourd bird house from Mr. Gene.  So far we have really enjoyed going to church on Sunday night.  Finn specifically told me that he likes night church better because he can get up and play.  The boys had a pajama party at school today.  It was in honor of Ms. Jenn's last day before maternity leave.  Finn was very excited to show his friends his godzilla feet. Big morning for Finn.  Last night was the first night that we have not put a nighttime pull-up on Finn.  He woke up with a dry bed!
