Irish Eyes on the World: Never drinking again.

So, Sarah's coworkers decided to take her out to celebrate her 30th birthday, and I went along. Preston and I had bummed around running errands earlier in the day on Saturday. Sarah, Andy and the girls came over to our house in the afternoon, and we visited a while before Skip went down to Racine for his show (read the review: http://www.scene262.com/feature_stories/feature_stories/?idvar=167). Anyways, Sarah got all dolled up, then Andy took her over to her boss's house. I stayed home to get Preston down and Andy handled his girls. The group came and picked me up on their way downtown, and we went to Buckhead Saloon. As soon as we got there, I'm not going to lie, I basically started downing beers, as that is not a place to be at sober... Well, it worked, and I wasn't sober anymore.

We all danced the night away and actually had a really fun time, but Sarah and I decided we were done. So we got a cab back to the house. We don't drink much anymore, since we're still nursing, so the booze hit us each like a ton of bricks. Let's just say that we only lasted a little while before we both... ahem "broke in" the bathrooms... And of course all 3 of the kids decided they wanted to be awake and join the "party." Sarah and I owe Andy BIG TIME, since neither of us were really in the position to be caring for our babies, which we both regret. In the end, Andy ended up in the bed with Elizabeth and Megan, Sarah was on a couch, and I was on the floor cuddled next to my little man. I will not be doing that again anytime soon, since I felt like DEATH the next day.

I babysat Elizabeth for the day while Sarah and Andy went to run some errands, which was fine. We wanted to try and check out the Air and Water show, but parking was a nightmare when we got down there. Also, the F-22 happened to be flying over just as we were driving by, and as the car shook from the noise, I heard a faint "I'm scared, I want to go home" coming from the back seat-- so I decided to take a pass on the planes. We ended up going over to the park by our house and eating lunch instead. Much more low-key, and much quieter!

Preston and I took a nap when Elizabeth left, then went to the store for a little while. He's strong enough to sit up by himself in the shopping cart, so he was the little charmer eyeing everyone up and Sentry. He was just too cute!

Here are a few recent pictures, both from this weeked, and from the past few weeks:

Target baby!
