Busy Birthday Weekend

This was a busy weekend of birthdays and half-birthdays. On Saturday I turned 30 (yikes!), Mia had her half-birthday and is 18-months, and Baby G turned 18-weeks (and we just started feeling kicks on the inside about a week ago, on the outside this week). Boy did we have a busy weekend! On Friday night Mia, Cort and I went to dinner at Mongolian BBQ to get my free birthday bowl of stir-fry. Afterwards we headed over to Bass Pro Shop where Mia nearly fainted with excitement seeing the fish and boats-that girl is pretty easy to please! I was wishing I had my camera, but of course didn't think Bass Pro shop would provide the opportunity to want to take pictures. :)

Saturday morning Cort took off from working Saturday detention so he was able to come along to Mia's gymnastics class which was so nice. After going home and taking a nap (all of us!), we headed over to the DuPage Children's Museum where we had a ton of fun. Mia's favorite thing to do there was playing in the water and with the bubbles.

After the museum we headed home where Mia napped again (she is still on 2 naps) and Cort and I got ready for a night out. We dropped off Mia with Grandma and had a nice dinner at a little Italian restaurant in LaGrange called Via Bella (get it, like Mia Bella). Afterwards we got some icecream and hung out at Borders (we are old!), got Mia and called it a night.
