weekend update
We had a fairly interesting weekend. Went to the "House of Bounce" for a birthday party where the boys got to jump around in giant inflated objects (hamburgers, dinosaurs, etc.) until they were tired and then eat a volcano cake. Cole seems to have picked up something extra from the HOB and missed school today. He hasn't thrown up yet but does his dolphin screech every time a wave of nausea comes over him. He's never taken nausea very well.
We then had our new Colorado friends over for dinner and that was fun as usual. We don't hang out with a lot of people and it's so nice to have a couple that we both click with. We ate too much and drank too much.
Then on Sunday, we woke up and decided that since we live in Colorado and have three sons, we really should live in the mountains, not just next to them. It's kind of scary that my husband and I are always on the same page with our big moving ideas. Not one of us is the practical, responsible one to say, "Maybe we should think about it for a little while first..." So after church we packed up the boys and headed to the mountains with our list of properties from realtor.com.
It took about 45 minutes to get to Evergreen (not too bad) and we drove around for a while. It was a gorgeous day and it seemed like everyone else had the same idea to be there. It was packed in their little downtown area. Mostly motorcycle gangs. Hmmmm. Anyway, we looked at a couple of houses, just driving past, not bothering anyone, but nothing made our hearts stop. Well, one area did but we just didn't see the kind of place we had in mind. So by the end of the day we drove back to our neighborhood patting ourselves on our collective back about how we had made the right decision to live in the burbs after all. We are such dorks.
In other news...I am so excited about my new plans to go to Washington D.C. for the 4th of July weekend. My Dad has a Vietnam Helicopter Pilot's Assoc. reunion in a different city each year and that's where it is this year. It's the first year I haven't been pregnant of nursing in 7 years so I can finally go! I've never been to D.C. and am really pumped.
