5 on Friday

1. Nick and I played board games on Friday night.  It has been a while since we have done that sans kids.  So. Much. Fun.

2. This weekend was deemed birthday party weekend.   We celebrated birthdays for two of the young boys in our neighborhood on Saturday afternoon. 

3. Saturday evening the adults went out to celebrate a neighbor's 30th birthday.  We went to Perfect Games in Ames and played laser tag.  I had never played before.  It was awesome!   The place was rented out for an hour and there were about 16 of us total.   A great workout and I wasn't all that bad at it (once I learned how to play).  I would definitely do it again!

4. On Sunday Ellie attended a Princess Party for another neighbor.  Rapunzel showed up for the party!  She loved it and quickly informed me that she wanted a princess to come to her 5 year old birthday party.  I informed her that her party was over 6 months away.  Just like her mother, planning ahead.

5. Ellie had dance pictures Saturday morning.   She was supposed to have her hair in curls, so she slept in foam rollers the night before.   She loved it!   When we took them out she was so excited to have curly hair like our neighbor, and thought her hair was going to stay curly forever.  I had to inform her that the curls would go away, and her hair would be straight again--- but we had the curlers and could make her hair curly again... She thinks we should curl her hair after every bath now!
