We had a very fun and productive Saturday -- finished reading the first Harry Potter (but no more until he's older!) and then watched the movie version; worked up a sweat mowing and trimming and raking mulch; rested and watched Star Wars Episode VI (for the umpteenth time); and then off for a whirlwind evening at NorthPark.
Whoa! this mall has GROWN since I was last there! We went because I couldn't stay away from the only Lush location in Texas any longer (woo-hoo > butterballs and bubble bars and I don't have to wait for a trip to Canada or order them online anymore), but we ended up staying for dinner and a movie -- Bee Movie, which was cute and happened to be playing at 6:45 when we walked up to the box office at 6:40 to see if there were any appropriate options. It was a fun one, engaging enough for both of us. And it looks like some fun kids movies are coming out for the holiday season, too: Mr. Magorium's Magic Emporium, Fred Claus (well, maybe not for kids), The Golden Compass (again, maybe for the older "kids" in our household only) and a couple of others which escape my mind at the moment.
Sunday was granola making, grocery shopping, a trip to Michael's, glittering up some gourds, and dinner for J, Ron, and I (thanks again to Martha for the recipes):
- Roasted Chicken with Jerusalem Artichokes
- Pureed Cauliflower
- Green Beans
- and last week's ice cream with dried fruits in honey sherry sauce again...
