Every Now and Then

Although I haven't blogged about it in a while, Kasie and I have been continuing our tradition of cooking dinner together every Friday night.

I must say that I feel like I am becoming a much better cook (my list of dinner dishes now consists of much more than tacos and macaroni with cheese)!

However, this past week, we decided that it'd be nice to take a break from cooking and go grab some sushi.

Since Isaac has been working an insane amount of hours lately (seriously SLAMMED at work...which is a GrEaT thing I suppose), he was all about the sake.

First thing when we sat down at the table, Isaac ordered up some Sapporo and sake for the four of us.

We got everything ready and started in on the sake bombs.

This is probably a little irresponsible pretty hilarious considering the fact that we were sitting in a quiet restaurant with older people all around, AND a baby in a highchair was also sitting at our table.

Isaac insisted that we yell "SAKEEEEE" whenever we'd take a drink.

Of course I had to grab a few quick pictures.

After a few sake bombs and some delicious sushi, we got the most amazing fortunes in our fortune cookies:

(Kasie's, Mine, Isaac's, Jeremy's)

Seriously?

Seriously!

We don't know what they mean either.

After getting those awesome fortunes, we decided to take the party back to our place.

Isaac and I stopped by the store to grab some Sapporo to go with the bottle of sake that we conveniently had sitting at home, while Kasie and Jeremy rented a movie.

We pulled up to the house, gave Grace a bath, put her to bed, and enjoyed some more sake bombs:


Isaac gave us an awesome knife throwing show:

(Don't worry, it was really a can opener.)

Somehow, this led to us pulling out old pictures from high school and reminiscing about our adolescence.

We didn't end up watching the movie until Saturday when we also continued our journey through high school by reading all of the "autographs" in our year books and showing Jeremy what big dorks we were throughout the years.

Such a fun weekend. 

I'm so glad that Kasie and I have been able to stay friends for so long and grow even closer as the years have passed. 

It was crazy to see how far we've come from those little kids in sixth grade to such serious (but not that serious) grown-ups with engagements, marriages, and even a baby.

I'm glad we can still have a little fun every now and then (love you Kas)!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute

Picture of the Week: The Sleepiest Kid Ever When I pick Perry up in the afternoons, we have to wait for about twenty minutes before Grace and Char get back from school. I actually kind of love it, because it gives me a chance to hang in Perry's classroom when they are doing afternoon crafts. Monday, they made barns out of chocolate graham crackers and marshmallow fluff. Perry's favorite part was eating it, and she shared with her sisters in the car as we drove home. We made salads for dinner, and she kept begging Daddy for bites. He decided it was easier to just share the whole bowl with her. Perry is definitely our best eater of the bunch and loves pretty much everything you give her, including most veggies.   She was being super silly in the bath, so I gave her a mohawk to go with her sass. While I was combing her hair, she found the tweezers on the counter, and kept calling them "teezwers". It was adorable, so I had to get a video.

Mini Adult

I'm officially in birthday planning mode. Grace is going to be TWO in just a month. She's such a mini adult: I can't even believe she used to be as small as Charley! Grace is now sleeping in her own bed all night. She falls asleep with us, but once we move her to her own bed, she stays there all night long. She's also in panties full time. She still has accidents in the middle of the night once in a while, but it's easy to wash her sheet and the waterproof mattress pad. We're officially done with diapers with this one!! Grace has also learned to roll her eyes this month. It's hilarious when I tell her she's cute and she rolls her eyes at me. Such a diva! She tells us she's ready to "go to bet" around 7:30 every night and even around 1:00 every day when she wants to take her nap (I love pre-school for this one). Grace is totally obsessed with pouches. If you don't know what they are and you have kids
