Arrie's mom's discharge and quick trip to Gallatin to get Arrie on Friday came JUST in time for me scoot out the door 15 minutes later to enjoy dinner and a Sip 'N Stroll event on the Square in Gallatin with girlfriends. I had already planned to take Arrie along with me, but was tickled to get to do it kid-free after all. First, Susie, Cathy and I hit up Ricardo's for dinner. Much laughing, gabbing, cackling, and noshing took place. Also, much TGIF sentiments were expressed. It's been a long, hard whirlwind of a week for us all!
Then we followed the crowds to the last Amberleaf event of the summer to support the rest of our crew in their new local artisan undertaking. Kristin and Cindy craft, sew, and crochet ... and now they do it to make a little moolah! They looked so great manning their sidewalk booth! We wandered all the vendors and then came back and played the proud groupie part by keeping Kristin and Cindy company til closing time.
Not far across town, Josh joined up with James and Craig and their respective kiddos to check out a local high school football game. This was our kids' first time ever.
Yes, Anna believed her beachy sunhat was a fitting accessory for a game. No, she would not be dissuaded. Yes, I DID try though.
I love packed selfies! Anna enjoyed the cheerleaders and colorguard best. Noah loved being with friends and of course the football game. Great night! And the Gallatin Green Wave won, too. Win, win!
Saturday, look who won Mommy's Cutest All-American Girl Award? THIS girl!
And then the sky dropped out and lightening flashed and thunder boomed and water fell, and fell, and fell. Her first game got rained out. Such is life!
We enjoyed the whole affair anyway! We dig the rain around these parts, remember? In other weekend news, Josh finished up the kids bathroom. What began as this mess...
...cleaned up into this pretty and much cleaner space!
