Monkeying around.

We had an awesome little play date tonight that was SO much cooler than I even thought it could be. There's this local play gym called Little Monkey Bizness that's pretty much the coolest spot to be as a parent. Kids play, we eat pizza & drink coffee! Brilliant, right?

We met our friends Anne, Jon and little baby Will (he's 3 days younger than Ben) and had a rockin' good time. Will & Ben actually played together, which is pretty much a first. I guess Ben must be getting to that age where playing together is finally fun! He used to be a lil bully. :
















(And no, I haven't cut his mullet yet.)

I even threw together a little updo and felt kinda pretty for the first time in awhile. It's amazing what a little make-up and fifteen minutes in the mirror can do for a girl's self-esteem. I'm not a snow driver (as I've already documented) and with my month-long shopping excursion done long ago and snow on the ground, we just haven't been out of the house much. That means I've been sporting sweatshirts and comfy pants for weeks. I think I needed tonight as much as Ben!

Now, proof that I'm an absolute dork, here's a picture of muh hair. I'm obviously quite proud of myself for pulling this together in ten minutes:
