Max says TGIF

And that is something I can agree with. Cheers!

7/21 - Weekend fun: Not all a bunch of bunk

This weekend we learned why Mommy is always saying not to jump on the bed...

We also talked her in to getting us bunk beds, which she assembled solo and only lost her mind about 5 times.

We were also in a happy mood and scrubbed a lot of the house!

And we had a lot of fun at Mikey's birthday party.

7/07 - Weekend fun: County Fair Edition

We hit the county fair on the last day, and were rewarded with cooler temperatures and light(er) crowds.  First, we had to hit the pig races!

Then, we spent quite a while at the petting zoo, where I once again confirmed that roller derby blocking skillz work really well vs. aggressive goats.

 Hello?  Can you hear me now?

 I may or may not have stalked this llama and made it pose with me.

 Pre-birthday funnel cake for me!  NOM!

 Not exactly a cowboy, but having lots of fun.

 All aboard!

I sure do love me a county fair!  Thanks to the kids and to Mama for taking me.  :)

3/17 - Weekend fun: Rainbow and Shamrock edition

We made it to the parade!  The kids rode their scooters in the junior auxiliary brigade, and I skated with my b*tches.  It was awesome.  Then we went home and collapsed.

Sunday, we made rainbow pasta!

The pot of gold?  My little leprechauns.  Awww.

12/02 - Weekend fun: It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas edition

Last weekend, we started getting ready for Christmas.  First, we picked out a tree.  Then, we had cookies and eggnog and decorated it.

The next morning, we put the ingredients for homemade soup in the slow cooker. I also made my famous Mommy Bread.  Between that and the Christmas tree, the house smelled delicious all day!

After that, we got all gussied up and went to see Santa.  Lil' Guy stepped right up and charmed Santa.

Lil' Gal has always been shy, but this year, we had a Plan B.  A letter!  Santa was very touched and thought she did a great job drawing him and Rudolph.  She was SO proud.  And when he asked for a hug, she gave him a big one!  (I was on the other side, and her face was beaming.  So cute!!)

My attempts at getting a holiday card photo were not as successful as I'd like, but I'll keep trying...

10/14 - Weekend fun: Cheese and bubbles edition

Last weekend, I was still under the weather, so we had a low key weekend.  We talked about going to the farmer's market and getting free ice cream offered as part of BART's 40th anniversary celebrations, but we just couldn't pull it together to get out of the house in time.

We did make it to the library.  :)

And made cheese enchiladas with green sauce.  Nom!

And had fun with bubbles.

9/30 - Weekend fun: Large mouse edition

The highlight of last weekend was Archer's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.  Lil' Gal had been begging to go there for.ever.  I hadn't ever been to one with kids (those crazy college days).  So the day had finally come for those two milestones to line up.  The kids had a great time with their BFFs.  I got to follow a large mouse around in a conga line and talk to some adults.  #winning

We also had fun wearing old Halloween costumes around the house.

And riding bikes/skating at the basketball court of the nearby school.  Until we melted.

The end.

9/23 - Weekend fun: Derby championship edition

We had a pretty lazy Saturday last weekend, recovering from a big week in first grade and a lot of meetings at work for Mommy.  Here, the Mario gang goes camping on the moon.  (Dunno -- that's what they told me we were doing.)

It was the West Regional Playoffs, and while the twins have come with me to many a practice, they had yet to see a real bout.  It was time to do something a-bout that.  (heh)

We always like hanging out with Bit O' Honey.

 "Can we go look at the girls?"  Who could say no to that??

David looked very dapper, sporting his black and shiny blingy gold.

In the end, the twins' favorite thing about the bout was the cupcakes.  Oh, well.  What's not to like about  rainbow colored cupcake with glittery frosting?

We did not get to see the Half of Besterns Flash Mob, where refs and friends put the ref hand signals to music, but it was a thing of beauty.

9/09 - Weekend fun: Fall Festival Edition

The bathroom renovation continued this weekend (and is finally finished!), but at least we got a good box to play in out of the deal.

We also got some new pajamas from eBay that seemed a lot like race car driver uniforms to us.

Then, we enjoyed running into friends at the Fall Festival.

And hanging out in a police car!  Book 'em, Danno.

7/29 - Weekend fun: Kite edition

This was a busy summer weekend.  We didn't have derby practice on Friday because a lot of people were at RollerCon.  #jealous  Saturday was Erika's birthday, so we joined her for a lovely party in the park.  How happy were we that the park had a pool?  (Answer:  Very.)

 Happy birthday, Erika!

 I love a blue California sky.

On Sunday, we went to the Berkeley Kite Festival with David and saw some amazing kites.

We also played on the kid bouncy structures.

David showed us how to fly our very own Lightning McQueen kite!  Whee!!

And then, we were very tired.  The end.
