This was certainly one of the busier weekends we’ve had this summer, but it was also one of the most fun. Friday night we went to a hibatchi restaurant to see a friend’s band play. We had a great meal, and a lovely time with friends—old and new. Drink of choice: Jack and Coke.

On Saturday, we attended the birthday party of our neighbor’s daughter. Most of the family and friends are from New York, and they are a hoot to hang out with. We had to drag the kids kicking and screaming home. It’s a good thing we didn’t have far to go. Drink of choice: White wine.

Yesterday, we met up with Mr. Sweet’s “work wife” and family to go to the NY Renaissance Faire. It’s amazing what some people think qualifies as Renaissance garb, which keeps things very entertaining. Girl and I went in full costume, Mr. Sweet and Boy made a halfhearted attempt, and our friends opted for regular street wear. We especially enjoyed watching the Tortuga Twins show. It was a bit risque’, but pee-your-pants funny. And there were a lot of knowing looks passing amongst the adults, but the kids seemed to be oblivious. Drink of choice: Sam Adams Cherry Wheat.

Surprisingly, I feel fine today (though not having to go to work or anywhere else helps). Now it’s time to count down to this weekend.
