Derby 138

Derby 138 had arrived! I was so sad when I woke up...wanting to be putting on a Derby dress and head to the track...but Jeremy was on call and that was not in the cards....

We settled into our Derby day watching the races with mom and betting online...the kids loved it! We ended up having the best day at home in our living room!Finally it was time for the Derby and the call to post.....

Sk did her own call to post with her pretend trumpet!

 We cheered and jumped...but this year no one had the big winner!

 Later I headed to the Wiggins' party...Jeremy was still working....we had a great time inside....

 and out....

 Cheers to Derby 138!

Monday night bliss.....

It's just a few bottles of wine.....some munchies and of course a little chocolate....

 It's a group of us...Living the Minivan Dream!

 and watching the Bachelor....not because we find it intellectually challenging...or life changing....but because it's a reason to gather in our pajamas and be together...as girls...and moms...as wives....

 We record it and sneak away after every little one is asleep and husbands are sitting in front of a football game...no one even knows we are gone....it's genius!

The original intent was to gather for my new neighbor to meet some other moms...she knows Alison...and Alison knows Marcia and Amanda...it's kind of a new group....but one I quickly fell in love with.... and hopefully Cassie will be able to join us soon...but there is no going back....I want this every Monday....until the final rose has been given!
