Weekend fun

This weekend was glorious! I spent all day Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday with Violet and we had so much fun as a family! Starting with Friday evening I went and got a pedicure with some girlfriends then we met our husbands and babies for dinner :) Violet was a little crabby and cross by 9:15 though since it was a bit past her bedtime! She's such a trooper though :)

Then Saturday morning we went to breakfast at Matt's favorite place and then headed to the pumpkin patch! Violet was a teensy bit over stimulated and just stared at everything. As soon as we got in the car it was like she processed what had just happened and she started talking and giggling up a storm! I imagine she was saying, "we saw HUGE pumpkins! White ones, orange ones, colorful ones, tiny ones, bumpy ones, weird shaped ones, and HAY! Everywhere!! And I got to sit ON pumpkins, take pictures with them, take pictures behind wooden cutouts... And the animals!! I got to go INTO a petting zoo! Although, daddy kept screeching and saying 'this is my nightmare! This is my nightmare!'... I guess it was smelly and poop was everywhere... so I understand :) It was awesome though!!!" Something like that seemed to come from all her jibber jabber once we returned to the quiet-clean-safe car :)

THEN uncle Jason came!!! Now our little Violet is quite the happy girl, but she is pretty watchful and 'sizes' people up she doesn't know so well before opening up her gummy grin. But with uncle Jason she was all smiles :) Matt spent some quality time with his boyfriend all weekend (I like to tease him and call Jason that) :) It was so nice seeing Jason and we really miss him and Kelsey (they used to live 15 min away in Seal Beach, but now they live in Chicago). Dinner Saturday night was delicious! We ate at a favorite place - Magic Lamp :) We loooove this little Lebanese place :) Jason stayed with us through Monday morning and we miss him already :)

On Sunday we had a fun Halloween party at a friends house :) Ill have to have someone send me pictures of all the babies in their costumes :) It was a lot of fun seeing all the babies together :) I can't wait till they're old enough to really really play :)

Monday was Fun-Day for Violet and I :) We just hung out all day and relaxed with Odie :) We took Odie to his BFF Oliver's house for a play date... Then papa came over to hang out for a bit :) Then Violet went to her very first daddy hockey game! She had lots of fun watching, but wasn't so sure about the scary masks :)

Ps- Aaaaand my best friend Sara had her baby boy Thomas Friday night!!! 9 lbs 6 oz and 21.5 inches long :) I can't wait to meet him!
