Our first night out

A few weeks ago....ok who am I kidding - more like a month ago, The H and I had our first real official night out together without the babe. Yes she's 2 1/2, and yes I know that sounds out right CRAZY, but it's true! We've been to the occasional wedding without her, and even out for a few hours without her, but never a full fledged night out - which included dinner, drinks and some fun! 

He surprised me with tickets to see Green Days "American Idiot" at the Merriam Theatre in Philadelphia. We had such a great time!!! We went with The H's-niece and soon to be husband, and my SIL. What great company, we laughed snd laughed and truly had so much fun!
While I'm not a die hard GD fan, I've always liked their music over the years, and I've heard this show was amazing! We started off the night with Dinner at a little Italian restaurant called Maggiano's. the food was AMAZING! As was the atmosphere. Quiet and cozy. We would absolutely go back! Then time for the show. 

I'm ashamed to say I haven't seen an off broadway or broadway play, we'll ever! Sure I've been to our local playhouse, which is great, but honestly the two can't even compare! 

The show was really great, with an awesome cast, they played all the hits and more. I was honestly sad when it was over! 

We really had such a great time, and are already looking at what show/shows we are going to see next., hmmm.....Wicked, Avenue Q - the possibilities are endless!!!! 

So readers, tell me what are some of you're favorite shows?  

Trying to be funny, but I really wanna cry

After what seems like 4 months of constant colds, flus, stomach bugs - and yet again another round of the flu, this girl wants to curl up in the fetal position and cry. I would settle for a nice ten hours of sleep though at this point, is that too much to ask??!!

Weekend Review

We had a crazy exhausting but FUN weekend! Friday night marked our very first sleepover for little miss! Her cousin slept over (which happened to be his first sleepover too!). The kids had a blast!!! 

We played, watched some movies and then I camped out on the floor with the kids knowing, not only was Sophia not going to take well to not sleeping with her Mama but neither was Ian. I was right! While they fell asleep ok both were up in the middle of the night, crying, (Sophia was missing her papa, and Ian was missing both his parents). I calmed them down a little until they woke up again at 5:30 in more tears. We finally woke up, and just cuddled on the couch watching Brave.

All in all they had fun! It was definitely new to both of them, but I foresee more sleepovers soon! 

Saturday morning we got ready for our towns annual St Patty's Day parade.

The kids had fun, but were super cold!! Thank God it was over pretty soon and we headed out for some lunch!

Today has been pretty quiet: laundry, grocery shopping, cleaning - ya know, the norm!! Sophia has been quite the character, dressing up and singing. I swear, I just LOVE this age minus the crazy temper tantrums and meltdowns (and did I mention the indecisiveness??!! One minute she wants something the next minute she doesn't!). 

But boy is she sweet!!!!
