Jim Florida, Cat Friends & Sip and Paint - 346/365

Today, Jim and Greg were off to Florida to see Jack Nicolaus play in the Father/Son Challenge in Orlando. They were flying out of Akron around noon and got to Florida at two.

The weather was nice and in the mid 60's which felt awesome after the cold here. 

The got checked into the Marriott. They loved it because it was five minutes from the course and five minutes from Disney. It had two rooms, so they each had their privacy. 

After they got settled in, they made their way over to downtown Disney for dinner. They decided to eat at the Rainforest Cafe. They said it was great! After dinner, they spent some time walking around Downtown Disney to do a little shopping. 

They had a great first day in Florida. 

Meanwhile back at home, Reagan and I headed off to Gymnastics, then did a little shopping. 

We stopped at PetsMart to get some necessities and some presents for the furry friends in our life. Reagan loves stopping in the "cat room" to play with the kitties. Today they had four young ones, so they were into playing with her. She had a ball! I couldn't get her out of there!

This evening, Jim's mom was coming over to spend some time with Reagan while a group of us girls went to a sip and paint class. We had 14 people going! How fun! 

Jenny, her four sisters and mom came. Along, JoAnn, Rachel, Laura, Sharon, Wanetta, Nana and I!

We had such a blast! We were doing a painting of a snowman at night. It was an adorable little scene. JoAnn had never painted before, so she was a little nervous, but she ended up doing great! Nana on the other hand, did great at painting, but got paint everywhere....on Jen's sister's glasses, wine glasses, her phone and even down the whole arm of her coat! It was hysterical!

After class, we decided to go over to Davidson's to have some snacks and a night cap. 

Fun night!

Painting Class - 275/365

This evening we were having a girls night at The Party Gallery. 

Rachel, Jessica, Candace, and Toni were going to take part in a sip and paint class. The picture was really cute, so we were excited! 

Rachel and I decided to go to Inner Circle to have dinner before we went over. We got to Inner Circle about 5 and at 5:50 we still had no pizza. We had to be across the street at 6 for painting. We ordered right away, too! We told the girl, at this point, just put our pizza in a box and we'll take it with us. 

We ended up just eating it at The Party Gallery. LOL!

Painting class was super fun and all our paintings came out great! It was fun to see how similar, but yet how different they all were. 

It was a fun night out. 

While we were off doing that, Jim, Reagan and Brinkley took advantage of the decent weather and played outside. They just ran and ran around the back yard!

The first picture is my pizza and painting. 

The finished product!

Sip and Paint - 38/365

Tonight was girls and guys night! 

Stacey, Jamie, Kim, Nicole and I were heading out to dinner. Then, taking in a sip and paint class at Wonderstruck in Cornersburg. 

We started with dinner at Davidsons. We had a great time chit chatting and catching up. 

After dinner, we went across to our class. We were all a little worried about how our paintings were actually going to turn out. The place itself was great! They even supplied the wine glasses and bottle openers! 

We got settled in and took our first brush strokes. Once we got rolling we were having a great time trying to follow the directions. We just laughed the whole time. We would get up and check out each others work and just giggle. We all ended up with really nice paintings. We did a really great job, despite all the wine! It was a super fun night and we hope to do another some day soon! 

While we were off doing that, the guys hung out at Stacey and Ken's with the kids. The kids had a ball playing and eating popsicles. 

 The guys came to pick us up around eight. We were mad because we kinda felt like going back to Davidson's for a nightcap, but the kiddos were pooped. 

When I got in the car, Reagan said, "Mama, I played with the kids and I was the cleaner!" Apparently her favorite toys of Kinley's, were her play cleaning supplies. Hope she offers to help me clean some day! It was a great night out for everyone! Good times!

Next, all the kids hanging out!
