1. We went to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese in Nashville, and we got to see lots of family. Mini road trips are always fun. Chuck E. Cheese on a Saturday (in a big city) is
2. Friday night Peppy's dad offered to come watch the boys so that we could go on a date. We had dinner at P.F. Changs and saw Side Effects. The last time I went to the movies was when I was pregnant with Owsley. I took Gage to the dollar theater to the see chipmunks movie. I can't even remember the last time I went to see a movie that I actually wanted to go see. The movie started at 7:30 and 10:30, but we chose the earlier one because we thought we would fall asleep during the later showing. Hah!
3. Also, red velvet poptarts....Amazing! I have a thing for poptarts. I used to eat them every single day. In high school my AIM name was 'eatthepoptart.' Poptarts and I go way back. And these red velvet ones are probably the best ones I've ever had. (I hate cream cheese, but I love red velvet cake.)
4. I'm an aunt! Peppy's stepsister in Arizona gave birth to her son, Ezekial Tyler, yesterday. And since neither of my brothers are going to be having children of their own anytime soon, I am claiming little Zeke as my first nephew. :)

Hey, in-laws kids totally count as nieces and nephews! Jeremy already had 2 nephews before we got married, and I claimed those sweeties as mine as son as we said I do! ;)
that child free post was very interesting. I'm terrified of having children, but I'm sure it will happen soon, since i'm allergic to, seriously, EVERY KIND OF birth control. -_-
Thanks for the linky love to my date ideas. Had no idea it was mine until I clicked :) :)
Yay! Congrats on being an aunt! :) I've considered being a child-free couple many times. I think if kids don't come organically we might just do it, but we'll see.
That photo of Owsley is so sweet I could die. Great links!!
Red velvet poptarts???
The how to miss a childhood and feelings posts were my favorites. There are a lot of parenting things on my mind these days!
Also, I'd like to go back in time, back to when I felt that a package of poptarts was an acceptable pre-P.E. snack, and try the red velvet ones!
Thanks for the link to my catfishing post!
Chuck E. Cheese -- ugh. My kid didn't know it existed until he was 5 and someone invited him to a birthday party there. I almost regret letting him go. I just wanna go into a corner and curl into the fetal position when I'm dragged to that place! Congrats on surviving!
Is your son named after the musical artist "Owsley?" God, I used to love him!
Your kids are getting so big!
I miss PF Changs so much! We don't live close to one anymore :( I adore the green beans and that spicy dip! And lettuce wraps - Mmmm!
I always fall asleep during theater movies :(
We went to see Snow White when I was pregnant with Arlo and during some loud part he jumped. We didn't think anything of it, but when my water broke our midwife commented that something must have scared him because he pooped in his water. I felt so bad!!
