Things I've Done

Momma and Pappa Bear came in last night. So played hookie from work today to have some good girl time with Momma Bear, me and Little Bit. We played at the park, went shopping and just hung out. Tomorrow is cooking day (Momma Bear is cooking for t'day.) My sister and her boys are arriving tomorrow. Will be a fun weekend.

After a fun afternooon with Momma Bear, hubby took me out for an anniversary outing. Yep...13 years and still having fun. He took me to an Arthur Murray studio for a ballroom dance lesson. Such fun! (The story behind this started when we met. I love to ballroom dance. To me, there is nothing more romantic than a waltz with your beau. Hubby is not a dancer and has no beat...except to his own drummer. Three years ago, to suprise me, he took me to a dance studio for my birthday to "check it out." I was shocked at how good he was. Still no beat but knew all the steps. Then he revealed that he had been taking private lessons for a couple of months as a surprise. I was amazed that he would go so far out of his comfort zone to do something like that for me. That was the most thoughtful gift I have ever received. Anyway, we actually signed up for more lessons. Then Little Bit came along and she took over our life. So, now Little One is a bit older and he wants to have some us time.) The great thing about this new studio that we are going to is that the owner is adopted. He was telling us his story and we told him of our little one's arrival. It was fun to hear it from the child's side of things.

Well I stole this off Scrapbook Chic (on the recommendatino of a friend). Great fun.
