Finer Things

This past saturday was Denis's and i first Saturday together that we had off!! it was the strangest thing to have had the entire day to do whatever we wanted to do. We slept in and when we woke up, we spent a quite morning downstairs reading. It was something we really want to try and do more often. no tv...no music...no phone calls. just us snuggled up reading. Its the simple things in life i guess! That evening we met some of our closest friends for an evening of "finer things." for those of you who watch the office, you may know why we call ourselves finer things. We get together once a month to go out to a nice dinner or do something we normally wouldn't do on our own. Denis decided that this month we were going to paint pottery. he actually wanted to MAKE it, but we couldn't find anyplace that did that. So we settled with paiting. We had our own private room to paint a pottery piece of our choosing. Below are a few pictures of our eventful evening!!!

Here is everyone with their crafts...meg is holding my plate...she likes to think it is hers. I humored her for this picture and held up hers :)



afterwards we headed to Philips European for desserts. Thanks for a great evening friends!!!

That is a neat idea.....doing something you wouldn't 'normally' do! Looks like you all had fun - hey, and was impressed with your creation! Did you see Rachel's blog? Oh my gosh, laughed so hard at the one 'with the hair'!! Hope to talk to you on the weekend. Lots of love, Mom
