re-cap

Here's what we can pack into a weekend:

St. Patrick's Day Green.

 
(who's the goofy guy in the background)

A 6th birthday. (Laurel would like you to notice the sparkly pink things in her ears. She's been waiting for what feels like forever for this birthday. The birthday when mom says it's okay to get your ears pierced.) She had a great day filled with Toys R Us shopping, face painting, a movie, dinner out with the family, and a humongous chocolate cake. How cool would it be to have your birthday on March 17th? 

Some cousin play time. Audrey and Ian.

Some amazing Thai food, probably the best I've ever had.

A 6:00am gym date followed by Starbucks (and uninterrupted conversation) with my dad.

An appointment with the Geniuses at The Genius Bar who (thankfully) gave my laptop CPR when it stopped breathing after a firmware update. Whew! Close call.

Oh, and this.

Yes, we are older...but I think we are better than ever.

So much fun! Pretty great to catch up with these girls. 

I even came home with a few extra bags:

And after what seemed like an eternal drive home...

Which made me extremely grumpy...

We finally found ourselves back under this blue sky again.

*Sigh* How much better can it get?
