We got to have a date last night, our friends David and Jeri brought their 4 year old son over and tag teamed watching all 3 kids ( I was a stress ball about the situation, especially since my kids both had a pretty bad morning with the meltdowns). But, of course everything went well, our kids were fine and didn't even throw tantrums, went to bed on time etc etc etc.
So, we ventured out into the world of adults without kids, and went with Rebecca, Amber and Josh to see the X-files movie out to Thai food, then out for a few drinks - it was great. It's always weird to Mark and I that people are out on the town after 10pm, because we are always home with the kids, Mark's words were "It's like Vegas," basically because of all the half naked women and gambling that goes on in downtown Portland - kidding (I'm sure that is happening somewhere in Portland, just not where we were) -like Vegas, because it was so nice and warm and people were out walking downtown after dark.
This morning we had a wonderful brunch at our house - brought over by Amber, Josh and Rebecca - and a nice visit with Rebecca. Jakob showed off all of his toys, tricks, dance moves etc. to Rebecca! Sarah showed off her moves too - her pre-crawling moves that is.
We finished off our day with a hike at Tryon Creek this evening, it was so nice. Jakob LOVES hiking and couldn't wait to go this afternoon. He talked the entire time and was fascinated by the banana slugs we saw.
Sarah and Auntie Rebecca!

A rare find for us - a family of Banana slugs! Gross looking but kind of cute to find a family!
And Lastly, this is so Mark's doing, he wanted me to put this on the blog and told me what to type:
Jakob has been eating like a horse lately and has been crapping like one too!
Yes, it is horse poop on the bridge/trail, there are horse trails where we went hiking.

I love Mark....that is hilarious!! I almost spit out my coffee because I was not expecting that picture.=)
It sounds like a fun weekend. I miss the easy access to hiking in Portland. Here in Norfolk we have to drive a bit to get to a hiking spot, but we have the beach. =)
OMG!! that look on Jakob's face is SO Mark, that is awesome and hilarious and makes me miss you guys like crazy. What an awesome weekend, especially that you got to go out- so great to be in the adult world. Have a great Monday.
