A little wine, anyone?!

So far its been a great weekend!!

Last night my dear husband and I had a date night!! Dinner at the Keg and a movie!! We dont get to do a full evening out like that very often, so it sure was a treat!! My best friend babysat, and Eli was good to her!! He went down without a peep, and apparently through a fit when he wanted a snack, but was happy once he got his "blankie" and a banana... then bath time! Perfect!! Thank you Chelsey!! We had an awesome evening out!!

The best part about our evening was that it didnt break the bank! We had a gift certificate to the keg and for the movies!! We spent $12 on a tip, and that was the cost of our evening!

Today was a quiet day with no plans! This doesnt happen very often, but it sure is a treat when it does! My brother in law and I are in the midst of attempting to make our home made wine! Yup, you read right!! Today we completed the 3rd out of 4 steps!! Our next step will be bottling (which happens in 2 weeks!!) Its a great bonding time, and we're so excited! The most exciting part for me is always having a bottle of wine on hand as a gift, or for when we go over to someones house!! And, last week my BIL (brother in law) and I stopped into a store that sells wine & beer kits (and more!!) and tried a few different wines. One of them (which Im totally excited about!!) is a coconut wine! So it tastes exactly like a pina colada, but without a TON of sugar!! So good! The guy in the store says that when he has company over he blends up some ice and mixes some of the wine in with it for a drink!!

So after we completed our steps today, which btw we did try our wine even though there is still 2 weeks left for it to do its thing... and it tasted like cheap wine at this point; we started our red wine and are on our way to having red wine done in 6 weeks!!

This evening we went to church. Since we're having Eli's birthday party tomorrow we thought we'd go tonight instead of tomorrow morning!! Might be a crazy morning going to church and then getting ready for a birthday party that starts half an hour after church ends!! It was a great service! Eli did awesome in the nursery and was perfectly happy!

Thats our weekend in a nutshell so far! We'll see how the party goes tomorrow, but Im sure Ill have lots of pictures to show and tell about!!
