Friday: The third annual Wisconsin Charter School Gala. We were invited as guests of Highland Community School. We got a lovely buffet dinner and ate overlooking Lake Michigan at Discovery World on Pier Wisconsin. We had our run of the museum, lots of wonderful parents from Highland to talk to and our son's school won the Silver Charter School of the Year award!!! And the parents of Highland Community School won the silver Innovator of the Year award! We got to go up on stage--thirty five strong (we were the best represented school there) and receive the award. I left full, happy and proud as ever to be a Milwaukee resident who's child goes to Highland.
A good friend babysat and was the first person outside of family to put our daughter to bed. He did awesome and the kids had a great time.
Cost of the evening: $0
Saturday: Tad's high school friend's wedding reception. It was exciting meeting all of Tad's old high school companions and kids from his neighborhood all grown up. Dinner was great-catered by Saz's and I even got to see a few people I hadn't seen in a while. My parents took the kids overnight so we even got to go for an evening walk, and watch movies and sleeeeeep in!! Lovely. We took a trip to Outpost to get a few items for dinner and the next morning's breakfast (which we ate at 9:30 a.m. on the porch in the sun).
Cost of the date: $15.00 (Outpost purchases)
Okay I can't resist..... Value of a two-night weekend with Tad, hanging around with grownups?
Priceless.
Sorry, it had to be done.
