Planet 51

We took the boys to the movie theatre for the first time and saw Planet 51. They loved the experience, the movie was mediocre.


As soon as the previews started, Nathan's eyes got as big as saucers. And both boys were smiling from ear to ear. Some parts got a bit load and John insisted on covering his ears.


They behaved very well until about the last 15 minutes and then both got a little squirrely. John thought that we should watch all movies this way, but maybe find one that is not quite so long.


Anyway, it was fun for us all.

We are officially renters

We closed on our home and have moved into a 2-bedroom townhouse until we find the home of our dreams.


We are excited to be onto the next step. However, I must admit I was a bit teary eyed as I walked through the house one last time. The boys bedroom with their baseball border especially got to me.

Lots has changed in the 7 years we lived there, but we can take all those great memories with us. And we will have plenty more memories to make at our new home.

The town home is less than ideal. It is great that we can rent month to month. However, WOW is the space tight. We have our one-car garage packed floor to ceiling with our belongings. The space is pretty tight all except for the master bedroom. This room is massive and we have used the extra space as a storage space for more of our boxes.

John asked me where the other living room was and why we didn't have a basement. I don't think Nathan has realized the big change except for that the toys are more limited.

The good news . . . much less to clean (one bathroom, one small living room/dining area and just a small kitchen).

Let's just hope it's only a short stay though. We may drive each other mad!

A 10-point Buck

Joe had a successful weekend deer hunting and bagged a 10-point buck.

The boys thought is was pretty cool to see a deer up close and poised for a picture. John was very excited to help hold the antlers.

However, John is still my sensitive little man and was a bit concerned about the "owie" that the deer had.
