Ending the Weekend with the Cubs

We started our weekend thinking we have nothing to do and the last weekend of "nothing" until mid-May. On Friday we did the usual Chinese takeout with a bottle of wine and Netflix. Our movie of the week was Social Network and it was just as good as everyone has been saying. Then I had a lazy Saturday thinking we had all Sunday to clean the house. On Saturday evening we went to the Sandbar with Mike and AJ for dinner and a few drinks.

On Sunday we thought it would be fun to hit up the Arizona Science Center before we grocery shop and clean the house. I have been wanting to see the Body Worlds Exhibition. As I was putting my shoes on I received a text from our friends, Brian and Amber, asking what time we want to meet for the Cubs game. I was shocked! What Cubs game? I informed Andy and we realized this was the first weekend of the Cubs spring training games for the next month. Amber and Brian purchased our tickets for all the games so it's not like we could back out or anything. Plus, we are not the kind of friends that say we are doing something and then back out. After some text messages and a quick phone call to confirm Andy and I both changed our clothes and changed our plans for the day from Science Center to Cubs game. Normally this would be a much better plan; however, it was a pretty chilly 50 degrees here today.

Here is where we were seated in the lawn on this chilly day.


While at the game I made a new best friend, Amber's daughter Stella. Normally little kids/babies do not care for me because they usually cry around me. This time Stella just loved me. She played with my purse half the day so I told her daddy it's time to get Stella her own Coach! She enjoyed my keys and she definitely loved when I played Lady Gaga on my Blackberry. She was a dancing queen! Super cute! Here is my new BFF!




Here is Amber.


The boys...Andy and Brian.


For the next month we will be spending at least one day a weekend at the Hohokam stadium for the Cubs spring training games. I had a great time today and I am now sun burned as well. Since I was prepared to leave the house for the Science Center and not the Cubs game I did not have SPF on my face so I am a bit red now. Ooops!
