Just look at that face! Mister Serious

Well...I FINALLY got to the Kennedy School this afternoon for "mommy matinee" movie-kids and moms are encouraged to come and not a worry if they start talking or (god forbid) start crying. I saw Marley and Me and it was fantastic! Thatch and I were on our first movie date alone and he did so great. He sat on my lap and commented on the "puppies" and "woof woof". He was able to stand up in front of me for part of the movie and read his books and play with Grover-who of course we brought along in the purse. I'm definitely going back. One of the things I miss most now that I have a little one is not going to the movies much. This is the answer I've been looking for!

I drove up to Bremerton last week on Thursday for my nephew, Liam's, 6th birthday. We got him baseball bases and a new backpack. He seemed to be pretty fired up about it. He and his brother, Kaden are getting so big and are just darling. They have a new puppy in the house so we were busy with her and taking the kids to school and picking them up and Thatcher's nap and picking up my mom from the Ferry...whew! I'm tired just thinking about it! I hope to get up to visit more often this Spring. It is only a three hour drive and since I don't have an office job there is really no reason I shouldn't go up to visit more.

I watched the Oscars last night as I do every year. I mostly like to watch the Red Carpet and the very end when they finally announce the Best Actor and Actress award I have to admit. It is pretty pathetic that I've only seen a fraction of the films that were nominated, but on my short list is Slumdog Millionaire for sure.

This week it is going to be rainy so I'll probably spend a considerable amount of time at the Children's Museum, Library and Gym. Got to get out of this house-especially when the weather traps you indoors!
