a party weekend

This weekend was full of the festivities and social bonding that we like to indulge in. For a few months now we've been involved with a rotating date night with a group of four other families. One couple goes out, one couple hosts and a third couple comes over with their kid(s), then we rotate. It's a great way to get a free date night, or some socializing with a pretty good adult to kid ratio. This weekend my mom and I took the kids over to Hirams and hung out with Reuben. The usual hijinks ensued. on Sunday Unity went to Beatrix's birthday party which included a musical marching band around the block. (after the cake of course- genius!). If it looks like a very steep "hill" those kids are marching down, well it is Seattle after all.
