Weekend Adventures

After a somewhat emotional Friday (due to a crappy group for school stuff, for the record, I hate group projects and if I am penalized for the stupidity of the rest of my group, I will be thorougly pissed!!!), I headed to Philly for the annual "birthday girl weekend" with Dow and Ciruc (see Wen, I'm going to get it to stick ;)). Friday night was just what I needed, relaxation!!! We went to Cosi's, had some sandwiches, s'mores and hot chocolate and caught up. It was wonderful. After a restful sleep at Cirucci's, we watched the last episodes of sex and the city and headed out to grab some brunch and coffee to start our morning. We headed downtown to design purses at Viv Pickle. My Viv Purse is being restitched, and the rest of the crew ordered new ones! After Viv, we spent the afternoon at the Philly zoo before I headed back to Balti.
Sunday morning started out as a bummer since it was raining too hard for Carl, the girls and I to run the Jingle Bell Run (we gave the $$ so I guess that's really all that counts). In the afternoon, we headed down to VA to celebrate Kieran's first bday party. Delaney and Alison enjoyed the cheese and one of Kieran's presents, the big lego blocks!
Kieran gave Laney and Alie balloons and they were thrilled. Alison has wanted a balloon of her own for quite sometime, and when we got home, she walked around with it on her wrist for the rest of the evening. In addition, both girls learned how to push the little car we bought them. They are well on their way to mastering walking. Finally, the girls had very exciting bath filled with splashing and attempts at swimming and then everyone went to bed! What a fun and eventful weekend.
