Outside Temp: 56 F (it was warm and beautiful today. Threats of a little rain)
What I cooked today:
Nothing: It was one of those days, where I didn't get around to actually making anything for anyone. I had leftover pancakes for breakfast, which means everyone else had cereal. And then Allen made pasta for everyone for dinner, so I was off the hook! Woo hoo!
Update:
Patrick and I headed into town today to get some errands run... returning library books, get Ryan's TPN, Wholesale meats for more ground beef, shopping, home depot, etc. We would have gone to the dump, but it was closed today... we'll have to wait until Saturday to get rid of my garbage.
While in town, we decided to have a 'date' and see a movie. We watched Men in Black 3. The problem with this movie is that it kind of forgot that the first two movies occurred. And, I think that all the interactions between K and J were already done in the first two. This one was kind of cool, since it did that whole 'time travel' thing... you know, the kind that the movies can NEVER get right? It wasn't bad. It just wasn't great. I think I would have preferred to see Avengers, again. Oh well, it was the bargain matinee, and we didn't even get popcorn, so it was only $11 for the two of us. And we got a date, which is always an awesome thing.
By the time we got home, we were confronted with a huge problem. No, all the kids were fine. But the Internet was out! Oh my!! How do we survive without the Internet? I mean, no Facebook? No Internet games? No news? I thought we would all die, but somehow, we managed to live through it. Allen had a game that didn't need the Internet. Katie had a movie. Ryan and Connor had some games. I had a book. Oh wow, we survived for the 3-4 hours without the Internet. Amazing.

May 12, 2012
Outside Temp: 45 F (It was in the 70's today... beautiful!!)
What I cooked today:
Eggs for breakfast: I was good this morning and offered to make breakfast... no cold cereal for at least one of my kids. Allen actually ate 7 scrambled eggs for breakfast. Which left none for me or anyone else. Oh well, I guess cold cereal isn't that bad.
No dinner: I admit, I was a lazy mom. Patrick and I munched on cheese and crackers and I just didn't feel like making dinner. So, the family was on their own. Sandwiches or hot dogs or more cold cereal. I think they survived.
Update:
We saw the Avengers today... woo hoo! Yes, the place was packed and I think it was the only movie that anyone actually saw today. I have no idea what other movies there were playing.
It was great! I really enjoyed it. We went with Grandma and Grandpa, which meant that we had to split up (oh yea, like we could get 8 seats... together?) I admit, I don't know much about the Marvel universe, although I have seen Iron Man, Thor and Captain America (I missed the Hulk). Ahhh, Thor... He's nice.
Anyway, I thought it was great. I mean, it was a standard super hero movie, but there was some thought and emotion thrown into all the completely unrealistic battle sequences. I loved all the one-liners. In fact, Ryan is currently in his room, repeating a few of them (You have an Army... We have a Hulk!). And I'm glad we got to see it.
Afterwards, we went shopping, then made it back for church. The homily tonight was great... all about love and goodness and looking for the goodness in others as a sign of love. And, by looking for the good in others, you help them to be good. So, perhaps I'm not just naive about other people... maybe I've been doing it right all this time. Who knew?
After church, Patrick and I sat on our back porch and watched the sunset, with Ryan running around the yard, picking dandelions and blowing them across the yard. For us, everything is right with the world.
