One Very Full Day

The morning began with Alex's alarm going off at 6 am - so wrong on a Saturday morning!! Once he was ready, he woke the girls up and we worked on getting them bundled up for their big outing with Daddy. Alex signed up to run the Sunshine Run - 5K as part of a team from work. They could barely move once we were done! Alex said they had a great time - and LOVED the cupcakes that were at the refreshment stand at the end of the race. And my second worst potty fear (pee pee in the carseat) occurred on the way home...ah...potty training... ; )


The next event on the day's agenda was a date for Alex and I. We went out to lunch at a local coffee shop called The Buzz and then to a Beer Tasting at Brown Derby International Wine Center. It was nice to have some adults only time and enjoy the beautiful weather.

From the beer tasting we raced home, paid the babysitter, and then welcomed our good friends the Zieglers into our home for a quick catch-up. They have recently returned from their vicarage on the east coast and are settled back in St. Louis as Mike finishes his schooling at the Seminary. (I stole this picture from their blog because we forgot to take one of our own!)

Then we rushed out the door and up the street to 2nd Saturdays at Redeemer. It's a new group my parents have started for parents of young children. We eat together as families and then the children go off to play and the adults have time to talk to one another and enjoy a brief program. This month's topic was Love, Money, & The Bottom Line.

And finally, we headed home, tucked all three munchkins in bed, and passed out on the couch into exhausted heaps!
