what I learned this week...

...having a soccer-free weekend does not mean you'll be lounging around:

- a visit from friends
- pumpkinville (I learned there is something called a peanut pumpkin. See bottom right of collage - looks like peanut shells are growing on top of the pumpkin - pretty cool!)
- 3 sets of teeth cleaned
- including one 4 y.o. mouth that was very unhappy (i.e., everyone could hear him) about being in the chair
- 2 teeth extracted
- 1 birthday party of 4-5 year olds at an inflatable bounce house
- 1 20th high school reunion
- a visit from the Tooth Fairy
- 1 birthday dinner for Gram including a surprise visit from cousins



...exploring your own town is fun. CG and I spent last Thursday walking around our downtown area and there are a lot of fun stores. I love our historical downtown. Makes me realize I need to spend more time getting to know my town.

...20 years later, some things never change. My reunion was fun. I saw the girls I wanted to see. They are the girls I know I'll see without having the need for a reunion to get us together. One friend commented that once the initial "oh my gosh, it's so good to see you's" were over, you looked around and everyone was back at their lunch tables again. I will say that we all look pretty good despite some of the husbands referring to us as "cougars". It was the running joke that it was Cougar Town, I'd say we're still cubs ;)
