Mother's Day Weekend
Another stuffed full weekend....
Friday night Nora and I went out to a Ti (sp?) restuarant for dinner then to a show at American Heartland Theater. The dinner was very good, but I asked for a little too much spice, it was like eating fire. The show was "The Perfect Wedding" and was about a groom waking on the morning of his wedding day next to a woman that was not his fiance. It was a comedy and had Nora and me laughing all evening.
Saturday was a busy one. Pierce had a soccer game Saturday morning, then both kids were invited to two birthday parties. I bowed out of all the activities in order to take advantage of a break in the weather and get the yard work done -it took forever. I also placed a few new listings for our wedding videography business (Edited Memories) and we got several inquiries and a couple of new bookings. (things are shaping up quite nicely). I also bought a slightly used procosumer-level camcorder for our imminent videography engagement. Hopefully it will be arriving this week...
Saturday night we spent relaxing and had a movie night. We watched Ghostbusters 2 with the kids and it was a big hit. The DVD came with a couple of episodes of the animated series (The Real Ghostbusters) that we watched Sunday morning. Anna's favorite character of the animated series is Slimer.
Sunday featured a Mother's Day breakfast in bed. I made scrambled eggs and french toast for the whole family. Then we took the entire ensemble upstairs and all climbed into our king-size bed and had a "picnic". Pierce had made an abundance of Mother's Day gifts for Nora at school including a poem/book/card and a clay teacup and saucer filled with chocolate kisses. The kids had gone shopping for a card with the Grandparents and eagerly gave her a Charlie Brown audio card that they both signed.
Also on Sunday we went to see the new Speed Racer movie. Despite the reviews, we all enjoyed it. There's a little rough language and the beginning of the movie is slow, but the pace picks up quickly and they did a great job of incorporating elements of the cartoon into the movie. I suspect we'll be adding it to our DVD collection when it comes out.
We finished the evening with a great dinner at J. Gilbert's Wood fired Steakhouse. Nora's parents treated us and her brother's family. I'm still stuffed.
