some pics of the meet. all the red capped kiddos are our team, the Patterson Piranhas which are mostly Maplewood kids.
awhile back Brian's dad won a gift certificate for the Driskill Hotel restaurant in a golf tournament. it wasn't just any gift certificate either. it was a five course "farm to table" dinner for 4 worth $260! we invited our friends Chris and Jess to join us. what fun it was to dine in style! you know you're at a fancy restaurant when the waiter asks what kind of water you'll be having. LOL. when my dad asks that at his house he means hot or cold. at the Driskill they mean tap, distilled, or Pellegrino. Brian bought a $50 bottle of wine which was the most expensive bottle we've ever bought. i would have loved to enjoy more of it, but i settled for a few sips which were lovely. that's one of the things i miss the most about being pregnant, that evening glass of wine.
i didn't get any very good pics, but here is one of Brian and i out in front of the hotel.
Chris and Jess came back to the house and hung out with us for awhile. we all declared the evening a success and want to do it again soon. not the five course meal thing, but the double date.
this morning it was good to be in the Lord's house. we came home and had an early lunch and then all napped. while in bed, i read some in several books. one on curriculum planning, another on suggested literature for every grade level, and another on encouraging your child's unique gifts and creativeness. feeling alot more confident about school this year.
i whipped out 13 prefold diapers over the past 2 days. i used only materials we had around the house, old receiving blankets, old flannel sheets, other cotton sheets, and terry cloth. they are so soft and cute, in all different patterns. i did a lot of reading over the past few days and feel thoroughly educated on the subject of cloth diapering. i'll attempt some fitted diapers next. who knew diapers could be so much fun?!
