Flushing the toliet and what we did this weekend

Steve and I try to really enjoy our weekends. During the week he is working, I am working, Matty is at day care, etc, etc. we try to have fun and relax, but it is mostly full of stuff that we HAVE to do rather than stuff that we WANT to do. So when the weekends come around our goal is to do things that we WANT to do. This weekend was no exception.

On Friday night my friend, Jackie, organized a girl's night. This was a welcome night for me, I left the little boy with Steve, drove to Jackie's; ate some good food, drank an excellent drink (I will have to share this drink recipe soon, it is my new favorite!!) and had a great time with the ladies!!

Let me tell you a little something about Jackie, she is a modern Martha Stewart. She's an interior decrorator and a wedding planner. So she plans an event like nobody I have ever seen and she has an ability to make anything look beautiful. I make fun of her all the time for her attention to detail, of course I only make fun of her because I am jealous. :) Here is a picture of the girls with their place cards that Jackie made for the night. Of course I made fun of her for the place cards, but in reality they were such a cute touch to her beautifully set table.

On Saturday morning, Steve and I, and some friends went to the Western Welcoming Parade in Littleton. This was the first time we had been to the parade and I am certain it will not be our last. It was a nice way to spend a Saturday morning and a nice change of pace for us. Matthew loved sitting on his daddy's shoulders to watch the parade.

Katie, Alaina, and Jackie loved the parade....

We were all laughing pretty hard at the sign that was posted on one of the trucks in the parade, they were encouraging people to save water. The theme of the parade was "Being Green" Ummm..... I think I will go ahead and waste water, that is gross.

This reminds me of Matty's new favorite thing to do. Flush the toliet. He definetly is not "green". Wasting water by flushing the toliet is totally cool!! Right Matt.....
