Friday Randoms

We survived the first week of preschool.  He faired much better than I… that Tate is just TOO quiet, all I hear is the occasional baby snore while Finn is at school.  It’s unnerving right now, just give me a month, I’m sure the quiet will be my favorite part of the day.  He loves his teachers, he loves his new friends, and most of all he loves doing an art project every day.  It was so awesome to hear him rattle off all of the cool things he learned, tell me about his snack each day, and excitedly ask if he’s got school again tomorrow.

Saturday night we’re having friends over for a porch party.  In case you’re not into made up parties like me, a porch party is where everyone gathers on our screened in front porch and we eat and drink and carry on.  They are always very intimate because space doesn’t allow for more than 8 or so of us.  They are most often impromptu.  This one was nudged by my fabulous neighbor because we haven’t had one all year.  The usual summer consists of 10 or so of these, we don’t discriminate, weekdays or weekends are both fair game, though the recovery time on the weekends are much nicer for those {ahem Dave} who have to work in the morning.  They range from takeaway and beer to fancy appetizers and vodka lemonades, with an ill fated chocolate covered bacon bar tasting thrown in there for good measure.  It will be the first {and probably last} of this year, so we’re doing it up with appetizers and drinks.  I’ll share them with you next week if I remember to take pictures.
