On Friday, my coworkers and I were treated to an afternoon at Dave & Busters to thank us for our hard work. I have to admit, I was a little dubious when it was proposed. But it was insanely fun.
The Aliens Extermination game was my favorite, and we got to the 8th place on the board. Here's when one of my favorite coworkers and I took on a gang of terrorists:
Later she and another favorite coworker hunted big game. Incredibly boring big game.
Saturday I took Liam to get some new fish after Grandma took the kids on a shopping spree (very kind of her). One fish we dubbed "Lucky," because she'll be lucky if she lasts a week. After the kids were asleep, my friend Don and I had drinks at Franklin's, the one bar in the area that caters to locals instead of college kids.
On Sunday the family went to church for the second time ever. The service was a history lesson on emancipation and the abolitionist movement in DC, and the choir sang spirituals. Afterwards, we took the kids to Ben's Chili Bowl, another integral part of DC history. Both kids loved it and can't wait to go back. Then we raced home to make cupcakes and Guinness cake in time for a friend's birthday party that afternoon. It was held at the airplane museum, a brilliant idea that I plan to steal.
All in all, a busy but fabulous weekend!

Your life is better than mine.

Oooohhh...Fun Fun!!!
NT, no, it totally isn't. My blog has selective memory. It only wants to hear about the good times and has little patience for my complaints about impending poverty, anxiety, and existential angst.
I love that picture of your co-worker with the AK-47 (or whatever that gun is). I can become quite the maniac at a place like Dave and Buster's.
MB, I know, isn't that ADORABLE? At one point she got kind of sweaty and yelled "I have to take my sweater off, cover me!"
Looks like a fantasy hybrid of a G36 and a MP5k-PDW to me. Both are excellent choices for when you're facing terrorists, zombies, or just squirrels that can't stay away from your bird feeder.
Shootin 'n chili halfsmokes. I'm jealous.
Cover me! I laughed out loud!
oh, and thanks for the weapon's identification. :)
which dave & busters did you go to? (the one on rockville pike?) and what did you have to drink at Franklins?
and why do I sound like a really bad fiction teacher who is trying to get the students to "make their prose pop with lively details!"
I hope you'll indulge my addiction with some cupcake photos! :)
Daniel: The one in White Flint. Bourbon (Makers Mark on the rocks.) You want me to pop? I'll try!
Nikita: I wish I had gotten pictures, but I was all about the rushing. Besides, my pictures never turn out as well as yours. You take some nice photos, woman!
now you want some REAL team building? go white water rafting.
::cue Deliverance::
;-)
still, looked like so much fun :)
