Maybe more sleep is what I need after the weekend I had, but it's not like I didn't get enough sleep. We just managed to pack a lot of activity into it. In fact, it wasn't until coming home and sitting on the couch for 20 minutes yesterday afternoon before making dinner that I realized I was tired. It was just such a good weekend, there wasn't time to feel tired. The in-laws visited and we celebrated two birthdays. My sister-in-law, turned fifteen last week and my husband will be twenty on Wednesday. Yup, he is about a year younger than I am, and it makes for some awkward introductions every now and then, but we're over it, and have been for over three years. Yes, we are very young to be married, but you know, we'll get older. We're just learning a little early. It's probably a good thing that we both had less time to get set in our ways.
So anyway, on Saturday when the in-laws arrived, we took the birthday girl out for a day of fun. The three of us (the hubby, Mad, and I) went to Como Park yet again, and took more pictures. It was another beautiful day, and we had a blast. I used her camera for some pictures, but she took a couple with my camera as well. Here are the best:
You almost can't tell that we are both full-blooded Minnesotans who don't like having their pictures taken. There was one very good one of me, but of course, my guy's eyes were closed. The sun was so bright! I hope it's this beautiful next weekend for my sister's Senior photos. The trees will be in their fall-color prime by then. I'm so looking forward to photographing my sister, and promise to post pictures from that day, and hopefully some of her if she'll let me.
After some shopping and an excursion to Como, we came home for some pizza and cake, but we didn't go cheap. We ordered Sarpino's pizza, which may be the only pizza I'll ever eat again because it's absolutely perfect, and got a cake from the Roseville Bakery. Needless to say everyone had very satisfied taste-buds. It just occurred to me I should have taken some pictures of the pretty chocolate cake and fall flowers I decorated the apartment with, but it's too late now. Sorry!
We ended the weekend with a beautiful church service and taking the in-laws out to the pet shop so Mad could beg for... I mean look at... a puppy. It was hard to leave without one, but the final answer was no. Had the answer been yes, it would have been equally hard to choose just one, they were all so cute and friendly. Those pups really know how to sell themselves! Heck, I even tried to convince the hubby to get one, knowing that we don't have the money for $600 dog and the cost of supplies. Someday, though, we will have a dog. I will not be denied forever. Besides, I know the guy likes dogs, and is very susceptible to cuteness... he can't always say no. He'll cave someday.
