Across the Universe and State Lines

6:30 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
We went to the movies sans kids last week and watched Across The Universe. It was well written and the music wasn't butchered which was something I feared. I enjoyed it and would watch it again. We're getting ready for the Thanksgiving holiday coming up. Eli is going to Missouri to spend a couple days with hs dad who is traveling from Florida to visit him mom there. We'll be leaving early tomorrow morning to drive him to Springfield, then heading to Eureka Springs, AR to hang out until Friday morning when we go back to Missouri to pick him up and come home. Kristopher will spend the holiday with his own dad as well. It's going to be nice to have a couple days kid free, we're going to stay at The Crescent which is awesome because we've not stayed there before. We usually stay somewhere cheap and kid friendly not fancy when we travel to E.S. The Crescent is supposed to be haunted as well which makes us a little anxious but looking forward to checking out some paranormal activity.

We shall see what happens! When we come back , we'll be having our own thanksgiving dinner that Sunday with my mom and both of the boys. Speaking of my mom, she celebrated her birthday on Saturday, the big Five-Oh! We took her dinner and had a nice evening with cake. The boys helped make the cake too and did a great job. I think my mom had a nice birthday, I would like to have been able to do more for her but we have to budget our finances and did what we could.

Sunday was our two year anniversary :) We had a nice relaxing day, I cooked chicken piccata for dinner and would have made brownies for dessert but our sink backed up and my kitchen became a huge mess until the plumber came last night. It was a nice quiet anniversary. Our treat will be having a couple days away from the kids this week and staying at the crescent as well as the Thanksgiving Brnuch they serve. It's supposed to be a very big and delicious deal in E.S. so we're excited.

I'll post some pictures from our trip when we get back. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!
