Spring?

Well, the snow is all melted (the bucket is all that's left of our weird little snowman, Buckethead), and it was in the 70's this weekend! But, guess what our weatherman says...it's gonna be in the upper 40's on Friday! What???? Of course, that could change tomorrow, you never know with them. I think they do it so that we'll keep watching the horror they call the News.



What have we been up to? Well, the week was pretty uneventful. It got a little warmer everyday, so Sadie got walks in the afternoon. The kids did their school work, complained, helped me walk the dog, and complained some more. They spent the night with my Mother-in-Law on Friday night, so the hubby and I got a date night. Sushi and a movie!! Yay! Or so I thought....



The sushi was fabulous (even with the wait, and sitting with the octopus tentacle in my face), but the movie was not. The hubby has been dying to see Watchmen since he saw a preview and bought the graphic novel. I on the other hand, prefer my superhero's a little less gritty. I prefer the X-Men, and am breathlessly awaiting the new Wolverine movie! Not because of Wolverine, but Gambit! Oooo, he is wonderful.......wait, what were we talking about? Oh, yes, Watchmen...ugh! I am not a huge fan of gore (weak stomach), nor of the soft-porn disguised as R rated movies. This was both. I tried to leave about 45 mins. into the movie, but hubby got mad, so I stayed. I was miserable for 3 hours, people!



Other than that, the weekend was fine. We hit our local flea market for the first time in ages, but I didn't find anything good. We all got a bit of a sunburn, since we aren't used to being out for long periods of time. We visited our local goat farm to pet goats, see giant "polar dogs", tons of cats, sample free cheese and fudge, buy said cheese and fudge, and giggle as a very fat goat managed to escape and wander around at it's leisure. Today was church, lunch with my in-laws, and errands. This springing forward is taking it's toll, so I think it might be time to hit the hay. I forgot my camera when we went to the farm, so I don't have any pics to post, dang it! Maybe I'll just leave you with some of the kids and the dog? You know you want it!
