It's been a pretty exciting weekend since I last posted....where do I begin?!
Last night Megan came over to babysit so we could go golfing. David and I shot 2 under par and we're pretty sure we won the league...2nd time in 3 weeks which is good for us. Up until 2 weeks ago, we hadn't won once :-) O'well - it's all about the fun right?
After golf we went to Mel & Jim's for dinner and whoa what a spread we ended up with! Let's see - tacos, grilled chicken, spinach dip, fries, pizza - yes, I'm serious about all of this (!!!!)....I think that's it! It was sooooo good. Especially since we didn't eat until close to 10 p.m. The kids were having a great time and acting crazy....except Alyssa who was walking around with her hand over her mouth, complaining that her VERY loose tooth was hurting. She kept coming to me like every minute to tell me it was looser, now looser, even looser now mommy! So Aunt Melissa offered to take it out for her - seriously for Alyssa - I think the beer had made Aunt Melissa forget that Alyssa doesn't do blood or pain...kinda like her mommy! Eventually after several attempts, Melissa convinced her to let her see it, she plucked it and out it came....onto the floor! Alyssa did ok, but the closer she got to me, the more upset she got and eventually the crying started. She was ok though - it needed to come out - and once she got over the blood, she was super excited. She knew what it meant - it meant the tooth fairy would visit us! Of course all the other adults kept telling her that the tooth fairy brings at least $20 - HA HA! Thank goodness Alyssa knew better. We quickly left - all of us were tired - and headed home to do the work of the tooth fairy. $2 which she found at the crack of dawn this morning and felt compelled to tell me about at 7 a.m. UGH! She had only just gone to bed at 11 p.m. (ish) and she was up already? It just couldn't be, but it was...unfortunately. And btw, this was the 3rd tooth that she's lost. McKenna is still holding strong at 1, with about 4 ready to come out anytime now.

Today Brennan and I went to Brendan's bday party at Burke Lake Park - boy what a mouthful that was! What a gorgeous day it was too....best weather we've had recently and perfect weather for an outdoor party. He was cranky as could be - my fault for letting him stay up so late last night - but it was worse than I expected. At one point, I didn't think we'd make the party! We did - we rode the train, the carousel, ate ice cream and played...and before long we were headed home again.....after we stopped for a Wendy's frosty! 
Some might say I'm a sucker for my lil man....awwww, maybe just a little :-) This afternoon I golfed with Wendy G. and Mel (I was awful) and David took the kids down to the water and to McD's (sound familiar!) for dinner. They were bathed and ready for bed by the time I got home which was nice....we're all tired.

Tomorrow is David's big day at the golf course....1st round of the club championship and he has his 1st match tomorrow morning. I really hope he wins - his shoulder is bothering him - but I really hope he has a good round. If it all works out right, he'll play Jimmy (his brother) in the final round - boy won't that be fun?!!!
All in all it's been a good weekend so far and we still have Sunday on our side. I'll update again tomorrow on David's match.

Should we start calling you and David Annika and Tiger?
Alyssa was quite the trooper, and it sounds like she was pretty excited after. Note to self, don't let drinking Aunts around children with loose teeth...LOL...
Thanks for joining us for Brendan's party, we had a blast, hope Brennan enjoyed it.
Brennan had a great time - once he snapped out of his cranky mood. Thanks for the invite - the park was awesome and I enjoyed some one-on-one time with my lil bud!
I miss those kind of birthday parties, so much! We should have one in the office for fun on Sept 21 for Fancy Hannah...and have some Fancy bon bons and wear sparklies! Hee.
$2.00 for a tooth! Man, what inflation has done. I never got that much for my teeth!
