I nearly forgot to update this thing.  But, I had so much fun last weekend that seems a shame.  Now, if I could only remember what I did.  I really need to start taking notes.  Matter of fact I’m just going to skip over Friday because I honestly have no idea what we did.

I have some vague recollection of Saturday, so I guess I’ll give that a shot.  I know for a fact that we headed over to a friends house around noon for a unicorn birthday party.  (They’ve got two little girls…  Don’t know if it was actually their birthdays but they were celebrating at the same time at any rate.)  There was a pretty good mix of kids and adults there.  There were a LOT of kids.  In retrospect that seems perfectly reasonable, given that it was a kid’s party, but I was caught off guard a bit none the less.  Anyway, it was without a doubt the best unicorn-themed party I’ve ever been to.  There was pin the tail on the unicorn, Simon Says, musical chairs, and a pinata.  I didn’t get to play any of them but it was fun watching the kids I guess.  After all the little unicorns had gone home, we went over to a friends house in Folsom to enjoy their backyard in a nice, quiet, child-free environment.  Well, unless you count our little ones, we took both of them with us, which they seemed to enjoy immensely.  We’d made plans to go out to dinner, but I was a bit frazzled by all the earlier excitement so we ended up just firing up the grill and hanging out in their yard.  Far preferable in my book.

Sunday I spent the better part of the day trying to get the football games on our TV.  I’m not ready to give up on my cable-free experiment just yet, but it can be… “challenging.”  The Chiefs game was actually on, since they were playing San Francisco, but it was on Fox which I just barely get.  I spent no small amount of time messing around with the antenna trying to get just the right signal.  I’d say we got to see “most” of though, if in a somewhat stuttering, sometimes frozen, fashion.  After that some friends came over and lent us their streaming account and we enjoyed the afternoon games on the patio.  Eventually everyone decided they were a bit hungry so we headed down to the recently opened Boulevard 41 for some pizza.  That’s our second visit and we’ve been happy both times.  Granted I was happier the first time when they gave us free food, but I don’t suppose that is a sustainable business model.  After dinner I went back home and worked the rest of the evening.  Want to hear about it?  I doubt it, nor do I wish to talk about it.
