After a long week like this past one, a little hell-raisin was in order. Friday night we blew off child-rearing duty - thanks, Ander! - and went to see our favorite Irish rockers. Flogging Molly gets DOWN! And their fan base is a most interesting blend of green-mohawks, kilts, tatoos... yup, found our people. (: We were down in the pit not far from the stage and I guess I should have expected it but at ten when their openers, a Mariachi band, finally finished and Flogging Molly came on, people started moshing like you wouldn't believe. A couple times Dave had to snag me back from getting carried away in the current of sweaty hooligans. Oh, and Mr. Dreadlocks in front of us! He was bouncing around all over - if he had had lice the whole crowd would have been in trouble. I was concerned, but so far, no itches. It was an experience for sure - my hell-raising quoto for the month has officially been met.
Saturday we kept as unstructured as possible. Andrea came with us to the park where we played on the swings and slides and kicked around a soccer ball, and we ate fast food and went thrifting. Later that evening, Allison came over and we went on yet another date! This one a little more toned down - we went shopping. Ain`t no girl gonna complain about that! Our babies are awesome and I love them but hanging out one-on-one with my Dave is also very awesome. He sure knows how to show a girl a good time - we are always laughing, whether we are rocking out at a concert or pushing a stroller to Walmart in our gym clothes, like crazies, we have a good time. It sure is a good thing I married that one - he is good for my soul.
And now....
Living in the Moment with Riley, and how she gets that baby-soft skin. Aside from, well, being a baby: milk bath!
She really is awesome - I love how she gets a thrill out of the basic things of life. I think we could all get more kicks out of our day...
