Record Breaking Weekend...

Why is it that weekends go by so quickly? Could it be that they're just too much fun? Why, yes, I think that's it!

One of the big highlights of the ribclan weekend was going to the Packer-Viking game (thanks to some last-minute tickets from my boss and Ann's babysitting) where we got the opportunity to witness Brett Favre break the TD record. I must say, it was pretty darn cool to be around all of the excitement. Besides Packer mania, we also had a lot of fun hanging out with Heather & Jason, even though it was a bit tricky to have conversations in the incredibly LOUD dome!!

Other fun highlights from our weekend included hanging out with our good friends, Brian & Katie (and their family Michael, Evie) at a local "Autumn" festival. We managed to keep track of the kiddos and joke to each other that someday we'll be able to sit back and enjoy some bloody mary's while our kids do their own thing...which seems so far away that we just sarcastically laughed at the notion. Despite the manic mode that comes with kids & festivals, we still had a great time and even made it through a lunch out together, too!

ribB got some local hunting in on Friday (no deer yet!), so the kid's & I played outside as much as possible--first at Kdee's school playground, then later at home. Kdee decided to be a flamenco dancer while we played at home, complete with a play dress and lots of fancy moves. Yes, we had to have the conversation of not flashing underwear (how do those flamenco dancers do it?). It was pretty funny watching her really turn up the entertainment as cars drove past our house. Little B had his last day at "Jannie's house" (and started his new daycare yesterday). We were all feeling a bit sad to see this chapter of daycare finish--Jan has been really great with little B, and there's no doubt that he's quite special to her. The good news is that they aren't moving so far away that we can't see each other, which has made this transition a bit easier for all of us.

We're looking forward to the coming weekend...lots of visitors coming into town--college friends and childhood friends--it's going to be a weekend full of fabulous-ness!

(FYI: yes, I have pics of ribB & I at the game, but due to the fact that we look like drowned rats in green (it was pouring out during our walks in/out of the game), I decided to hold back on sharing those photos...there's just got to be standards! :-)
