Birthdays!

Summer officially ends when my birthday is over. I love birthdays. Chris is not as big a fan but we still celebrate.

For my birthday this year he took the day off. We relaxed in the morning (both kids had plans). Then we went to the Greenway and went on the zipline (I’ve wanted to do this for months!). We went to lunch at one of my favorite places- Barking Crab. Love the steamers and drinks (maybe too much!). We walked around the Seaport and had Ben and Jerry’s.

We had our usual family party that night with lots of laughs. It was a pretty great birthday!

Date Nights

Brendan’s schedule with Summer Studios means getting home late- sometimes almost 8pm. And Aidan has been enjoying his summer program and hanging out with friends. Which means he is not always home either. We have had this odd experience of being able to go to dinner- date nights! – without kids.

It’s been fun but a little weird. It two happened the same week we were already planning to go with Paul and Heather to the Red Sox game. That meant three nights in one week getting to be adults and not eating at places with a kids meal!

We enjoyed it but also missed the silliness of family dinners too.
