1. we took wil to practice with the band that he and some friends are starting. i told him we would pick him up later in the day. we were planning on a family dinner with everybody home.
2. pb and i spent the afternoon together around the house. i watered flowers, he made a sam's run, we went to t.j. maxx together. our t.j.'s is getting a makeover so we saw lots of new things and came home with this little find.
and pb found these at sam's.
3. while in t.j. maxx, we got a call from one of em's friends inviting her to spend the night. one kid down. so much for family dinner.
4. then wil called and wanted to go downtown with "the band" and eat dinner. there was a band playing at schroeder's and they wanted to hear it. the guitarist was supposed to be incredible and had played with jimmy hendrix and inspired the grateful dead, phish, etc. wil's band, the daytrippers, was pumped about going. we couldn't say no.
5. next was a text from our friends and soon to be neighbors (fingers crossed) asking us what we were doing for the evening. now that all hopes for a family dinner had been dashed, we decided to join them for appetizers and drinks on their back porch. we made a yummy buffalo chicken dip with these organic chips. (photo of dip not available)
and we had this a-mazing champagne.
soooo, our plans for a family saturday did not pan out. but it was a great day for everyone and we can't ask for more than that. wil got to play the guitarist's bass. onstage. and that rocked his world. em got to spend the night out for a second night in a row with another friend. that made her day. and we got to hang out with our friends and have a great evening too. we are shooting for a family dinner tonight.
and last, here are 2 photos dedicated to "the daytrippers". good luck with the band!
before.
after.
