Date Night

John's birthday was a couple weeks ago, and we finally had a kid-free date night!  It's been a few months, since before Baby2 showed up, so it was nice to have some time away from the babies.  I was slightly nervous leaving them, but once we got to dinner, I wasn't too distracted.  We had a fun, low-key evening.  Just ate dinner, hung out at Barnes and Noble for a bit, and then went to a movie.  Bookstores were one of our favorite places to go on dates before we had kids, so it was fun to just wander around and look at things.  We found this book and basically read the whole thing.  It's funny, I promise.  And the author has a blog, which you should probably read, too.  

Anyway, I also learned an important and difficult lesson.  Maltesers might look like Whoppers, but are actually gross.  That's $4 I won't get back.  

If we look a little tired, it's because I forgot to take pictures until after the movie.  So it was past midnight, which is way past my bedtime.

Blue Skirt Remix

You all know I love a good remix, so I was excited when Third Thursday Threads' theme for August was to show a skirt two (or more) ways.  So twelve ways seemed like a good plan.  I absolutely love my knit pencil skirts.  When I bought this one, I made fun of myself, because I already had 2 other blue pencil skirts (here and here), and then I didn't wear this one for several months after buying it.  But then I started wearing it a lot, and now it is a favorite.  The cobalt color pretty much goes with everything, and I was able to wear it all throughout pregnancy, so that was extra awesome.

I think outfit #1 is my favorite.  And I think I'll continue to wear this skirt many different ways!

Weekend Update

Well, it's Monday again already!  Happens every week...  But the weekend was pretty great, so I can't complain too much.  Since John's birthday is tomorrow, it was officially birthday weekend, so we celebrated on Saturday evening with his family.  So tricky - he got to open his presents 3 days early!  Other than birthday festivities, I mostly spent the weekend catching up on chores and reading.

The most amazing fall weather has finally arrived.  I would be happy if it stayed like this until December 24th.  And then Spring can arrive on January 10th.  Give or take a few days.  I'm not picky.
