What a week-end!

We had a great week-end, but I do feel a little exhausted this Monday. Halloween, a birthday party, a baby shower and dinner with friends on Sunday evening. It's nice to have more of a social life, but it's also more tiring!
Halloween was absolutely perfect in my mind. We went to Gig Harbor in the afternoon, where they close off the downtown area so that kids can go trick or treat in the stores. There are lots of people and lots of kids in costumes and it's just fun to see everyone walking around and having a good time. The rain even stopped so the kids (and we with them) had a great time. Miriam wore her Thomas the Tank engine costume and was a trooper all afternoon. Gabriel on his side was a real clone trooper and had the best time with his friend Alex. Together they were quite a duo. The loot was impressive. I think they collected more candy than we gave out later that evening.
We finished it off with dinner at El Pueblito complete with margaritas and good company. What a great day.
Saturday was a birthday party followed by an adult dinner party at our old friends the Kennedys in Redmond. All the kids just filed down in the basement and we had some nice adult time upstairs and enjoyed Michelle's great food. I missed being able to do that. It was a lot of fun.
Sunday, Gabriel got to hang out with Apa Ron, Sam and Uncle Frank and watch the Seahawks game, he seemed to have had fun even though the Seahawks played lamentably. Miriam and I enjoyed some girl time at Kristi's baby shower on Raft Island. Brent, unfortunately, had to work... someone has to bring in the money...
So it was a little hard to get back to work today... but we're enjoying a nice quiet evening at home tonight!
