April 24th weekend

On Friday night Tim and went out on a Dinner Cruise, courtesy of our work. This is a first time in a while we got a change to go out and have a nice quiet dinner. I think it's called a "date" :-)


It was a little awkward at first, since we didn't know anyone, but had to share a table with two other couples, but once we got to know the other attendees at our table we had a great time. We talked away all night, to the point where pretty much everyone else (including the performing musicians) left the boat and the lights were turned back on, full strength, that's when we finally got up and left.

Kids did great too. two oldest watched scary movies and two youngest played games.

On Saturday we went to another LOWE's Kids' Build and made birdfeeders. I think we might do this weekly, as long as it's offered. Costs nothing and kids love it!

Then another swimming class, and off to Lacrosse game. Gabe's team still lost, but the game was much more exciting. Final score was something like 4:9.

Quck stp at Peet's Cooffe House for a hot treat and a newspaper read

Unfortunately, Saturday weather stayed too cool to truly enjoy it, especially when you are sitting on a cold metal bench watching a game and it starts raining...

On Sunday we had a few things to do. Jon had a birthday party to attend (Tarren's), so we made a quick stop at Target for a present, dropped him off, then Larisa and I went out for lunch at the Thai noodle place.

In the afternoon I had to take Gabe to the store to get the last of the needed items for his Outdoor School later this week. I am getting nervous already.

And, not to be outdone by his sister, Gabe lost another tooth this weekend.  Not sure if "lost" is a right word to use, because Gabe was determined to lose it before Monday, so he put his best effort into speeding up the process...
