This past weekend is a pretty good example of our calendar lately. On Friday we joined Pepe and Nonna over at C and Tio's house for dinner. Pepe and Jon have been traveling a lot lately so we have missed quite a few family dinners. Nonna picked up Chipotle and we had a nice evening eating alfresco, having a mini dance party, blowing bubbles, and the kiddos each got a couple books as an Easter gift from Nonna and Pepe.
On Saturday Jon attended a fundraiser for the local Community Colleges, which meant he got to dress up like a pirate, talk to his friends for about 5 minutes, and then listen to a loud auction the rest of the night. The boys and I went to Uncle Mark and Aunt Penny's to celebrate Great Papa Dean's Birthday. Before dinner Reed played corn hole and chatted it up with everyone then played a tickle game with Auntie M. Kieran fell in love with the outdoor stairs and went up and down them a couple dozen times! The boys were on pretty good behavior until around their normal bedtime when they decided WWE style wrestling in the kitchen was a good idea. No one got hurt and Kieran was laughing the entire time but it definitely was aggressive. I tried holding K for a bit but he kept diving out of my arms to go back at it. Dinner was so yummy and Reed, Kieran, (yep both boys helped me make the cake) and I made a double chocolate layer cake for dessert. Before we went over Reed made a special peacock drawing that he explained to GP Dean and we had a special guest at the party - GG Didi's brother visiting all the way from Iceland!
On Sunday we went back over to C and Tio's for some pizza making fun with a few of our friends. I made all the dough from scratch (which meant my hands were covered in flour most of the night and unable to take pictures), C brought out a ton of toppings, and Tio cooked them on the BBQ. I lost count but I think we made about 9 medium size pizzas in all and there were only 8 adults - naturally I also lost count of how many slices I ate!!!
