Girl’s Night Out
ByLast week I had my girlfriends over. It was incredibly important for us to get together because one of our best friends is moving, far, far away in a matter of a few weeks.
(Arianne rocks out. She’s the one moving away.)
Since moving into my house 18 months ago, we have had many gatherings here. Almost all of our get-togethers take place at my house and always after the kids are in bed. We gather around my kitchen island, where all of the food hangs out. (there is ALWAYS food.) We eventually make our way into the living room with paper towels full of finger foods.
There is always laughter, usually crying (from the laughter) and almost always someone dances for at least a little bit.
Last Thursday was no different. We had our same plethora of food; spicy buffalo wings, pizza rolls, veggies with ranch dip, a yummy cream cheese taco dip dip and the most luscious brownie bars ever made. (if I do say so myself.)
(Steph and I enjoying our simple finger foods)
It was so much fun to get together, after all of our kids were tucked in sweetly in their beds for the night, sit down and talk, play Rock Band and not have to worry about anything besides being together and enjoying each other’s company, and the food, of course.

By the way, we ROCK at Rock Band.

Ok, let me go on record saying….my band challenges your band to a challenge! ROCK THE HOUSE!! btw, our band is named The BingoBops. Anywho, I’d also like to say that I wish I were 1/2 as photgenic as Arianne AND…also….why oh why does Erin look JUST LIKE SARAH in that picture????
I so want a group of girlfriends like you guys
Looks like a blast!
I’m so glad you got a photo of me playing the guitar and not one where I was randomly flailing on the drums.
Also, I love little Tommy peeking over Sarah’s shoulder there. So cute.
i have a confession……… i’m TERRIBLE at rock band.
apparently i’m SO unmusical that i can’t even fake it
what a fun night – girlfriends rock!!
Clearly AmyA doesn’t know that most pictures of me are of my mouth hanging open like “durrrrr…”
I loved that night, I can’t believe I had to move far away to get us all together for a rock band night.
I love Girls Night In.. We usually do the same at my house, except play card or watch a movie, and food, of course lots of food!
We should play Rock Band though, I love that game
Glad you were able to have a great time with friends!
Looks like a blast. You girls are so much fun!
Sorry to hear Arianne is going to be more “geographically challenged” from the rest of you girls. Bummer.
That’s awesome…looks like you guys had a lot of fun…Rock Band rock!!!
Looks like you girls were having a great time.
Looks like a great time.
I love having girls nights, especially when the kids are in bed. Having that time with friends is so wonderful.
Food and rock n roll?! Where can I sign up?
Excited for Arianna – sad for all her buddies she’s leaving behind.
Nell
That look of serious determination on my face? I’m a rhythm-machine.
Erin does kind of look like my mini-me in that photo. Like a skinny pocket-size Sarah. Cyooot!
That’s awesome
We rock at Rock Band as well!
Can I still be your friend if I tell you I’ve never played Rock Band? Ok, good.
I am so sad that Arianne is leaving…there will definitely be a hole in your group.
Glad you were able to get together and play though. We all need girls night out.
I want to live in your area and be part of your group!!
Looks like so much fun, and you all look like my kinda peeps!! Ha Ha

How much fun! I wish my girlfriends lived around here so we could do that, but they all live hours away!
FUN! I pretty much rock the guitar.
We had a girls night out here a few weeks ago. It was lovely.
Glad you guys had some fun!
Fun!
I’m hungry. When can we do this again? Maybe we can be “traveling Mom’s night out-ers” and visit all your readers and have girl’s night out with them. Wouldn’t that be a dream job?
Who’s in?
Steph
Is Rock Band really that good? I’ve never done any of those types of games, so I just don’t know. Looks like everyone had fun!
where have i been?! seriously, i’m hungry, too. must do again soon!
and i’d like to add that this was my first time; thus the ridiculously concentrated look!
so much fun.
Looks like fun. Today is our 6 month anniversery of our new home. I just need to make friends now to have such a get together.
So bummed I was in ya know, pre-labor and had to miss it.
Baby and I will not be missing the next.
Could you all just hurry up and move here? Yes…cause you know, it’s all about ME.
Hear that in your sleep, OK? HERE HERE HERE.
HEATHER HEATHER HEATHER…
I want to pop each and every one of you for having so much fun without me.
I love you all. Especially you, sugarlips.
That is so awesome! Looks like you guys really had a lot of fun!
I’m with everyone else. I wanna come, too!
