Double Feature

Thanks to Joel's parents, we were kid-free today in honor of our 6th anniversary (this past Monday). We went to brunch at Brio, then went to the mall where Joel bestowed a mall gift certificate on me to use for new clothes, but due to my neurotic and decidedly un-feminine nature I decided to wait until my sister visits for Thanksgiving so she can make sure that I spend it properly. So instead we went to the movies, where we saw not one, but two movies. This was my idea because we hardly ever get to go to the movies anymore. Due to timing more than anything else, we saw Zack and Miri Make a Porno, followed by W. I enjoyed both of them. Then we picked up some dinner (hadn't eaten since brunch) and got home in time for me to tuck Ben in. After about 9 hours away from the kids, I really missed them! Don't know how I will do in Cancun later this week (Thursday - Monday).

As an aside (after reading Abby's latest post), the switch off of daylight savings did not go so badly. Becca, Joel and I all woke up promptly at 6:15 (exactly an hour early) and Ben slept until 7. So he was the only one who capitalized on the extra hour of sleep.
