Tiny Dancer

We went to Mike's cousin's wedding on Friday night in Mankato, and had so much fun watching A at the dance. This is the first wedding reception we've let her stay up late for, and it was so fun watching her experience it for the first time. She collected every little mint tin at the table, enjoyed chocolate wedding cake with buttercream frosting, and danced with abandon to all songs (even during the dollar dance, she shared the dance floor with the bride and groom). I tried hard to make sure that she wasn't one of those annoying little kids who run around on the dance floor, wreaking havoc while his or her parents have no idea where he or she is. We were watching her the whole time, and made sure she didn't get trampled during the polkas. She even did the chicken dance motions. After a hardy breakfast at the Americinn Saturday morning, we were off to pick up the dog at Grandpa and Grandma J's, and get Mike to his fastball tournament in W. St. Paul. He came home with Jimmy Johns after his two games, and after putting the kids to bed, we watched a marathon of World Series of Pop Culture.

Sunday brought a trip to Home Depot for foundation paint/waterproofing treatment, lunch at Chin's Asia Fresh (much better than Leeann Chin), and a car nap on the way to G and G's. We had to pick up Teddy after he was inadvertently left there during a potty break on Saturday. We then went to HOM furniture, and I think we found a good choice for a new basement couch.
