This weekend Callie turned 5, so we celebrated in a big way with a party, Grandma Jan and Papa Bob, some cake, some cookies, some iHOP, and a Lutheran Church. Yes, we Mitchell's are diverse, and we like to cram a lot into one weekend.
She invited 4 of her closest friends over for a baking party, complete with new monogrammed aprons for all, and some very messy cookie decorating. My mom and I swore off eating any of the creations; a direct result of seeing how many times they were licked before the girls put them on the platter.
Since my parents were in town, Kevin and I again got a date night. We may have been tired, and taking a nap in sweats may have been more tempting than getting on real pants, but once out with the general public, it was nice to not have any kids around. Kids that we are responsible for, that is. Seeing as we ended up eating at Red Robin for convenience, and their never ending fries, there were plenty of youngins around if we started to miss ours. But I tend not to miss my kids on date night. And last night was no different:).
We ended the weekend with a little IHOP per Callie's request, and a little bit of Lutheran music and service, per my Mom and Dad's request. We scouted out the best church to fit the bill, and went church shopping today. (NOTE)... we really like our current church, but we are always open to worshipping with other believers. The church we picked was definitely filled with some of the kindest folks in the area, so whether or not it fit the bill perfectly, it was nice to go and feel welcomed.
Thanks for another great weekend "break" Mom and Dad. - You sure you don't want a vacation home here in the great state of Indiana??
