Last week, was a full 5 day week for me. Kristian had a friend, Connor, come over and spend the night on Thursday. They had a great time just hanging out and being boys. They played Guitar Hero and Sonic the Hedgehog. Dylan just hung out with them and of course let us know when he wasn't being included. Friday I had Tracy's kids, so at least then Dylan had someone his age. Although, Rebecca and Dylan hung out with Kristian and Connor. I know the older two were relieved when the two little ones had a take a nap!

On Saturday, I went and got my hair done. It took 4 hours!! I had her darken it up and cut it. It is shorter than I wanted put it is growing on me.

Saturday night, Mike and I actually had another date night! I can't even remember the last time that we went out two weekends in a row. It had to be before kids, that I do know. We went out with some friends we hadn't seen in a while. Chris and Maite (Mytay) She is due with their second child in 3 weeks. They have a little boy already, Grant, who will be 2 in January. It is always nice to go out with them because they know all the neat places down town to eat. We started off at a French Bistro. We had dinner, drank some wine and just visited. After that we went to another restaurant, just down the street from there, that was actually down in the basement of a downtown building. The atmosphere and decor was awesome. We did a little more drinking and split some desserts. We had such a great time. Heidi, a friend of ours, watched the boys for us. Dylan was a little unsure at first, since he had only met her a couple of times, but he did fine. By the end of the night he wasn't ready to leave and was asking when he could go back.

Sunday we spent most of the day laying around. It was a cold and dreary day. But after a while we got up and around so that I could go buy groceries. From our basket it would've seemed like we were out of everything. Which I pretty much was. I have been putting off buying a lot at once. I HATE going grocery shopping, so anytime I can get in and out of there quickly I will.

Monday I stayed up till midnight watching the Rockies win AGAIN! Now they are headed to the World Series. Their first trip to the World Series, so everyone is pretty excited for them. They have never been that great of a team, but this seems to be a good year for them.

Monday Mike left for L.A. He was gone until Thursday. He had a great trip and was able to meet up with someone we had known in Virginia. So that was nice for him. We met him in town on Thursday when he got back in and had dinner.

Friday I spent the day cleaning the house. That's always fun. Friday evening I ran into town to pick up some wine and other last minute things for our get together Saturday night. We invited the guys from Mike's work over along with their families. There was about 20 of us in all. I cooked two turkeys and then had everyone bring a side or a dessert. We had so much good food. And really enjoyed ourselves. It was nice to see everyone. Some I had not seen since the Christmas party last year. The guys really enjoyed themselves playing Guitar Hero. Us ladies just enjoyed visiting with each other.

Sunday we woke up to 2 inches of snow! Our first for this year. It was so pretty! I got up and cleaned up from the party the night before. I worked on Dylan's Halloween costume. He is going to be a spider. I did some laundry, watched a movie and baked some rolls. Mike... played Guitar Hero all morning long! I couldn't believe it. But apparently when someone turned off the game they didn't save Mike's progress and he had to start ALL over. Boo Hoo! And just so you know, it wasn't me! I think it was Kristian, or at least that is who Mike was blaming.

Sunday afternoon we went over to Brett and Cat's for an early dinner. They had BBQ ribs. It was so good. Chris and Maite were there too. So we got to visit with them again. Their little boy Grant is growing up so fast. He will be two in January! Grant and Dylan had a blast with each other. It was nice because Dylan gets left out a lot with the older kids. But him and Grant were like two peas in a pod.

Monday, Jacob was throwing up, so I didn't have him or Rebecca that day. I dropped Kristian off at school and Dylan and I went to town. We picked up the last few things I needed for Halloween and his costume and a few groceries. That was about it for that day. Which was nice!

Well I guess that is about it for us. This is a really long post! The pictures are of the first snow, Mike and I and Dylan before our date night, the Sand Dunes and Dylan blowing out his candles. Have a great week!
