Movie Date

We have had an amazing weekend! So much needed family time!



We walked to Great World Mall this morning and hung out there for a bit before church at St. Bernadette's.



We put Brandon down for his nap a little earlier today (12:45 pm). The last few days we have had to wake Brandon up from his naps at 4 pm. And, today we had special afternoon plans at 3 pm.



Brandon woke up at 2:45 pm, which was perfect. Jo, Jake, and Jessie came up right after that, and Steven and I took off for our movie date! What a special treat! It felt so nice to go out on a date. It was also only a ten minute walk to the movie theater. We live within walking distance of about everything you could need.



We booked our tickets for Robin Hood online ahead of time. When we booked online, we also picked our seats in the theater. I liked this. Not in a rush to get into the theater early to get good seats. (I think several of the theaters here are like this.)

I meant to take a sweater to the theater because I had heard that they keep the theaters cold here. I forgot and then figured that it might feel good to be cold for a change. It was chilly in the theater but not too bad. And, it did feel really nice! When we walked home after the movie, it wasn't too hot out, and it felt nice after the cool theater.

Things went well for Brandon while we were gone. He played with Jessie and Jake. They even gave him a bath, and he was in his jammies when we returned. Jo did comment on Brandon's strong will. She said that he thought that Jake was strong willed until she had Brandon for the night. She said that every time she would try to mess with him, he would scream "no" at her. Oh, no! He wouldn't let her feed him. Only Jake or Jessie could feed him. She also said he didn't want her to hold him or put his clothes back on after the bath. He just kept telling her "no" all night. So funny to hear how Brandon acted while we were gone. Wow. :)

Jo was so nice. She went out and bought some baby snacks and some blueberries just for Brandon. We told her that we will pay her back with some babysitting whenever she needs. Hope she takes us up on the offer sometime soon, so we can pay her back for all of her extreme kindness.

What an amazing three day weekend!!! Can we have another now?
