Kid-free Weekend; St. Paddy's Day Bagels

This weekend the kid got shipped off to grandma's house for the full weekend Fri-Sun a.m. We are about to get her back and will take her to gym class right away. It was very eye-opening to have our first weekend together since birth w/o the baby around. Plus the weather rocked so we did everything we used to do when we were just two. Dinner at Sandobe, movie out, Broadway show. Slept in til 10 and walked outside for bagels and coffee:

In fact, we saw God of Carnage last night, which hit close to home. It's a morality tale of bad parents acting out and damaging themselves and each other far more than their kid-bullies do to each other on the playground of life.  It's a delicious treat for parents who get some time away from the kids. The parents end up tearing each other apart and acting like Neanderthals along the way.

Time away from the kids is highly recommended. Send 'em to grandmas once a month, and live it up.
