Tonight I got a night out with the girls. YEEHAA! Our girls from work have been talking about going to Crave and doing the fondue, so tonight was the night. I have never done the fondue before and it was fabulous! The key is that you have to go on Tuesdays because it’s buy one fondue meal and get one free, otherwise it’s quite expensive. There were eight of us that went and we ate so much and had such a great time. I have to say that the best part about it was of course the dessert. We had four pots of melted chocolate and four huge trays full of strawberries, bananas, pineapple, marshmallows, graham crackers, cheesecake, rice krispy bars, etc. that we dipped in the chocolate. I will definitely be going back there, at least for another round of dessert anyways.

MOPS
I forgot to write about my new fun that I started last Friday. I joined a group at my church called MOPS (Mothers Of Pre-Schoolers). My next door neighbor got me to join the group and I’m glad that I did. We meet every other Friday and have breakfast, devotions, a craft or speaker, but it’s mostly women sitting around and talking about their kids and asking/giving advice. I love it! It’s got food, God, and fun. What else do you need? Jaxson gets to go too, but he gets to go play in the nursery with all of the other little kids. He cried a little when I dropped him off and was crying when I picked him up, but the girls swear that he did very well and had fun. I hope that’s the case. On the Fridays that we don’t have "meetings" they have a mom/kid outing. This Friday we are going to Backyard Adventures to play on all of their fun outdoor equipment, but it will be inside.

Party #1 - Tanya’s Bachelorette Party
As most of you know, this was my busy party weekend. I have to start by saying that everything went well overall and I think everyone had fun. On Saturday, I hosted a bridal shower at my house for Tanya. I think I counted 21 of her family and friends that came. It was a fun shower and I think Tanya and Heath got some great new things for their new house in Ankeny. And of course she got some naughty things that I probably shouldn’t talk about on the blog. After the shower, we headed to Crave for supper. After Crave we hit the bars. Tanya had fun at the bars wearing her "Suck for a Buck" t-shirt, which gave her a good amount of cash by the end of the night. She also wore my treasured underwear purse, which was given to me at my bachelorette party by my good friend Jill. Jill’s mom made it for me and I know that she has made a few since then because it is now a very hot and coveted purse. We did venture downtown to the Liar’s Club and then headed back out West to Miss Kitty’s, which we ended up closing down. I think Tanya and the rest of the girls had a good time, which you will see in the crazy pictures from the night.

JUGs
Lastnight I got to get out of the house with the girls for another JUGs (Just Us Girls) night. We went to Glazed Expressions in Clive to paint some pottery. We had a wonderful time painting our pottery, eating, talking, and we managed to linger until our time was up at 9:00 so that when we all went home we figured our kids would be in bed. Just kidding guys, we actually didn’t get done until 9:00. We don’t get our masterpieces back until Saturday because they had to "fire" them. Everyone painted some pretty neat pieces. I painted a star-shaped plate that I am going to put in our Americana spare bedroom. I’m anxious to see how it turns out. I’ll let you know.

JUGS
Many of you are probably wondering what the heck JUGS is. Well, it stands for Just Us Girls. This is a group of my girl friends that try to get together once a month to do something fun and to get away from the men and kids. We have done things like go bowling, get pedicures, watch movies, etc. This month it was my turn to host (it was actually my turn to host in July and August but I was too lazy being so fat and pregnant) so we ordered pizza and carved pumpkins. Here are some pics from our fun night.
