Weekend Roundup

This weekend was action packed. On Friday night we went to Attie and Beau's for vegetable soup and trick or treating. B was a ballerina again and the babies were strawberries. We had fun with the Carvilles, Marme, Gumbo, Bee, Katie, and Petey (that's what Betsy calls him). B loved trick or treating and sat in the stroller so she could eat candy between houses. After every house she would say, "Go home now?" Then we'd tell her there were more houses and she would get so excited. Sadie fell asleep on the way to Attie's and slept through most of the trick or treating, but when she woke up she was happy to see everyone and smiled the whole time.

On Saturday morning I saw in the paper that Tim Gunn, host of Project Runaway, was hosting a fashion show at the new Macy's at Lakeside. My sisters and I are huge fans. I reserved seats for us then made plans with the sisters. Tim Gunn was so funny, sweet, and smart. He hosted the fashion show then held a question and answer session. He was so down to earth and the girls and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We stood up and applauded after he was done (and were the only ones) so we got a "thank you" from TG. Then, as he was leaving the stage area I told him, "Thank you so much for coming" and he said, "Thank you so much for coming." Attie got a shot of him saying it to me.--see below. I took tons of pics. The girls and I had our picture taken with him and we gushed about how we are huge fans, and then he told us we were "stunning." Not trying to sound conceited, but that's what the man said! Last night P and I left the girls with a new sitter and went to dinner at Martinique. We got engaged there in the courtyard and we hadn't been back since that night. The food was delicious and we had a great time even though we got a call during dinner that B had fallen and cut her head, but she ended up being fine. When we got home Sadie was crying--she has a bad cold and is really congested. I'm sure the sitter will never come again after having such a nightmarish night! P and I took turns with Sadie last night, because she felt so awful and couldn't sleep.

Today we hung around the house, because we were completely exhausted. It was nice to just be at home with our little fam. Sadie tried sweet potatoes tonight and really enjoyed it. B gave me a sticker earlier and I stuck it on her leg near her scar and she said, "No, Mommy, don't put the sticker on my bobo. That's not very nice. Put it right here." Then she put it in her sticker book. She told me! Sadie is starting to sit up for a minute or two at a time. She's growing up so fast--she'll be 6 months old on Thursday. Wow!
