Movie Night

Saturday I helped out my sister and her family with a little bit of cleaning and a lot of playing in their new house. That's right my sister and her family are moving into a nice big house in Stone Gate. I'm so happy for them. She already had a babysitter on hand to watch the kids while we were suppose to be working and decided to hit the movies that evening at the 9:30 showing of Made of Honor. I was exhausted driving back into town at midnight! The movie was cute and Patrick is a doll.

What movies have you seen lately?????

I Had Big Plans

That's right~BIG Plans for Spring Break. First it was a trip to CA to visit my girlfriends but that didn't happen. Next it was a long list of projects around the house; painting, organizing, cleaning, electrician, repair man and decluttering. Nope, didn't happen. Instead it was lazy days of catching up on reality TV, a movie, a box load of treasures and some farm animals!

We saw Horton Hears A Who. I was not impressed by this movie. I love Dr. Seuss books and have lots in my classroom but the movie didn't do much for me. The kids loved it!

We made a trip to the Houston Livestock Show and let the kids have fun exploring and getting dirty.

We really enjoyed the pig races and watching a little pig swim across the trough.
Waiting to get into the petting area. I opted to not go in and wait out with the stroller. Stepping in poop didn't appeal to me.
The boys loved touching all the farm animals.

It's funny what a tractor does to city folks.And we couldn't leave with out a souvenir. A new lasso to practice roping our dog.

Overall we had a nice relaxing Spring Break. Hope you are enjoying the Spring in your neck of the woods.

There's No Need to Fear

Underdog is Here! That's right. DS and I went to see Underdog last night while DH, LC, Mr. MC and Amanda saw The Simpsons. DS was a little upset that he couldn't see the Simpsons because the movie was rated PG-13 and he isn't 13 yet. Plus a lady at DH office said that movie would not be appropriate for DS. When a movie comes out that is rated PG-13 and DS wants to see, I ask around and get the opinion of others to see if DS can handle it. I know that the TV version of the Simpsons is not appropriate and DS doesn't watch it.

After the movie we grabbed a bite at Logan's Roadhouse. The place is so much fun because they serve buckets of peanuts on the table and then you can throw your shells on the floor. DS thinks its so much fun to throw his shells on the floor.

I have an exciting afternoon planned but will tell more about it tomorrow!

Enjoy your day!

Our Weekend

Not much happened over the weekend. Saturday DS went to see the above movie with his aunt and cousins. I stayed at home to babysit the littlest cousin. Seeing a movie with rats running around just didn't interest me, even if its a Disney movie. Maybe when it comes out on DVD.

Sunday the refrigerator, microwave and a lamp stopped. I fought with the breaker box trying to get the power back but I couldn't. I have an extension cord draped over the bar/counter running into the family room to keep the refrigerator going. My dad came over and tried to find out what the problem is and it's not the breaker box. Good thing because we had that thing replaced right after we moved in. So my dad unscrewed the socket and that's where the problem is. The wiring is bad. So DH is trying today to find some electrician to come check all our plugs and replace what needs to be repaired. It sounds like it's going to be a big and nasty bill heading our way. But if it will keep the house from burning down I don't mind!

Today I had my annual eye appointment. No changes in my vision since I am nearing 40. Got my contacts ordered and put off getting a new pair of glasses. I only wear my glasses in the evening or if I don't feel well, so no real need there. DS is on a field trip to the zoo and park with the cousins. The church my sisters family attends has a summer program that takes the kids on 5 different field trip over the summer. There is only one for the month of July. So I am enjoying my bit of peace and quiet. I can't go anywhere since my eyes are dilated and I can't see straight! So maybe a movie or nap might be next on the agenda. Finished writing birthday thank yous and will take them to the post office tomorrow on the way to the allergist.

Hope your week is off to a great start!

Movies

I am living the life of luxury, two movies in one week!Sunday night, my brother-in-law was able to get us tickets to see Nancy Drew. It was a great movie. The kids and I loved it. My sister had to leave before it started since my 9 month old niece didn't want any part of being in the movie theater. I recommend everyone to see it.

Today, my DS and I went to see Shrek the Third. I was quite tired and dozed off in parts but from what I remember seeing it was ok. I never saw the second Shrek movie. I say wait for the DVD on this one.

I just love summers to be able to go to the movies during the week!

Hope you did something to stay cool today!
