In all honesty, we don't have a very active social life in Madison. This is probably self-evident since we have videos of things like a Robin dive-bombing our back door and for excitement we talk about the time the Robin flew into the porch...Well at least one of us talks about that for excitement, she also breaks into her own rendition of "Sweet Caroline" in the middle of the grocery store too, but that's a different story.
Back to our social life, or lack there of. As with our weather this past week, when it rains, it certainly pours (occasionally into our basement). We had a children's fashion show last night, where Rose made her modeling debut. Pics will come. It was part of the grand opening events for a kid-friendly cafe that has opened in Madison called Bean Sprouts. It was fun, but 2 1/2 half years of parenting has not taught me to expect the organized chaos children's activities always entail. Kids running everywhere, kids dancing, kids walking around with the "runway" decorations, kids not getting the point of "Hot Potato" or in this case: "Hot Bean". Rose was adorable (she wore an organic cotton onesie and pants set and it was so soft I would almost pay for it), Mary Ann had fun and I felt a bit bewildered and was thankful to get the girls home, in bed so I could get our house back in order, since somehow getting Rose ready for the event also included the house becoming very messy.
Today we had plans to go to a friend's birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. Mary Ann, Rose and I were all Chuck E. Cheese novices and I envisioned a fairly quiet meal around a couple of pans of pizza, then taking Mary Ann around, tokens in hand, having a blast with the games and rides. Of course eventually we ran out of tokens and I had to inform Mary Ann we were out of the "special money", which wasn't happily accepted, but luckily she had enough tickets to "buy" a little (can we say super-little) dinosaur figure.
