Notes from the Weekend
We had an enjoyable Dia de los Reyes party on Friday night with some friends. Their little boy Dylan brought his Batman cape and mask, so S-Boogie got out her Supergirl cape and they had a great time fighting crime together. It's too bad we couldn't convince them to fight crime anywhere except in the living room. I think it will take me a while to get used to the fact that Master Fob now has Friday nights off after working Fridays for the last three years.
I didn't get anything productive done yesterday. I spent way too much time online. I think I spend several hours most days browsing the internet. Yes I read a lot of news and I love to keep up with my friend's blogs, but it's getting to be a little excessive I think. The problem is I haven't figured out yet how to bottle feed and read a book, but I can sort of hold the bottle and use the mouse. And the internet requires small fragments of attention wheras books do not. But, I think my escapism is reaching problem levels, so I need to cut the addiction a little.
Last night we watched The Motorcycle Diaries and I really liked it. I think I want to move to Peru (well, maybe go for a visit). It's not your typical film in that it's lighter on plot and heavier on scenery, but it was interesting as an attempt to translate autobiographical writing to film. I would recommend it to anyone--the R rating is for words in subtitles and there isn't any sex, nudity, or violence on screen. It was nice to watch a movie that was "adult" in its sentiments and content without finding the need to shock through gratuitous sex and violence.
S-Boogie spent her first day in Sunbeams well; I couldn't get much feedback about her lesson, but Primary passed without incident and she's been singing "Here We Are Together" all afternoon. Sacrament Meeting was very pleasant too, so I think we're all grateful for 9 o'clock church.
For the last three days Little Dude has surprised me with a two-hour afternoon nap. I hope this trend continues. I also hope the jagged little corner of tooth sticking out of his bottom gum will complete its emergence sometime soon so we can celebrate.
