Mike and I had "date night" last Saturday for the annual Carleton trivia tournament. Basically, alumni groups across the country gather for countdown trivia at local bars/restaurants and the highest team scores from each city in each round are tallied up to determine the winner. The Twin Cities group had won the last two years, which was not through any contribution of ours, but rather because there was one alum who got a perfect score for almost every round. Unfortunately she was at a funeral this year, so the TC group had to rely on the likes of us. Our team managed to come in first (in the TC) in one round (woo-hoo!), but overall we were pretty mediocre (averaging 16th of the 20-some teams that were there). Nevertheless, it was a fun night out on the town! (Huge thanks to Grandma Roles for babysitting!)
Then on Sunday/Monday I came down with another cold, a sure-fire indication that I've been working too hard. I'm determined to find balance in my life somehow, because I'm sure tired of catching to many winter bugs.
By yesterday I was almost fully recovered, so we spent some time at an indoor park so Rose could burn off some energy. It takes her a little while to warm up, but she eventually loves climbing on the equipment and going down the slides.
The exciting news for the weekend is that Rose has pooped on the potty for two days in a row! Yay! She is also starting to enjoy taking off her pants, just to show that she can.
Finally, today we went to the zoo. It always takes Little Miss some time to warm up to new(ish) experiences, and in the end she really enjoyed seeing all the animals!
Hope you're all having a great weekend!
