Happy Hour

Last night we were invited to Happy Hour at Lance's house. It was employee + spouse only, so in order to attend we had to get a babysitter, which is not easy to find for 5pm on a Monday. I decided to ask Aurora's teacher Katie if she could just take Aurora home after school, and she said yes! So, we dropped off the car seat and garage clicker and carpooled to work.

By 5pm we were sipping margaritas in Lance's backyard... and at 5:30pm we got a call from Katie saying that the garage clicker wasn't working. It was working when we left the house, but I accidentally dropped it in the parking lot when we were heading in to daycare. Turns out Chuck had removed the spare key from under the mat, so they were indeed locked out. It was pretty hot outside, so Katie asked if she could take Aurora somewhere. I suggested Chick-fil-A, which was a great solution - dinner and a play area that Aurora loves.

They actually stayed there for over an hour and a half, but we still left the party a little early so that we could get Aurora in the house and off to bed at her usual time. We did have enough time to grab some food, chat with friends, and play peek-a-boo with Max Armstrong before taking off, which made for a pretty good evening.

This is potentially the only photo taken the whole time - nobody else was taking pictures, but I had to get one shot in for the blog, right?

Hey, I recognize that dress! You look fabulous! (And Chuck, Kim, and Kristal look good, too.) Too bad about the garage clicker - Chick-fil-A was a good idea.

Good picture. However, I would like to see one with you and Lance Armstrong together. Maybe next time.

Hahaha! That's a picture I would've liked to take! We did chat and he let me hold his son, so I guess at least I got a story :)
