Weekend recap

It's been a fun-filled weekend despite the cold and rainy start on Saturday. Cold and rainy = perfect day for a trip to the mall, so that's exactly what we did. We met up with Mommy's friend Jenn and her son Joey, who's just three days older than Alex and Ari, and one of the few kids their age who can match Alex pound for pound and inch for inch. We had a wonderful time catching up and buying some new clothing at Old Navy. As you can see in the picture below, Ari seems quite smitten with Joey (he's a cutie-- who wouldn't be?!)
Here is Ari modeling one of her new outfits (Mommy particularly likes this one):

Today the sun came back out, so we took advantage of the beautiful day to attend a local Oktoberfest with Alex and Ari's best buds Alex and Sydney. Alex had some Bratwurst and Ari enjoyed some beer as we all listened to a Bavarian band. Just kidding, of course...but if Alex had teeth, he most definitely would have wanted some bratwurst. Here are the mommies with their sons:

Technically, it is not the end of the weekend, as tomorrow is a federal holiday (Columbus Day), so Daddy will be home. We're off to a play date with older (2-year old) twins Sadie and Gabriel. Rumor has it they've made some cupcakes in anticipation of our visit so we're looking forward to some yummy treats and fun times.
