It's the weekend. What's going on?

[dreemkin]

H has been off all week so we are having a staycation of sorts. Yesterday we went to see Ralph Breaks the Internet and stuffed our faces with popcorn and icees! Today we are going to a museum of lapidary art (gems, rocks, earth science) that I've been wanting to go to for years.

dreemkin what did you think of the movie?

Work today, but off early to spend some time with my aunt before she leaves tomorrow. We are going to a tea shop and other shopping, then out to dinner.

[dreemkin]

kartish the movie was okay. I liked the simplicity of the 1st one better. This was a little...busy and quite heavy themed. Also, A (and I think N too) was scared during the climax of the movie.

Just said bye to my sister. Now we get to lay low for the rest of the weekend, clean house, etc.

G got a set of conversation starter cards.
The question- where do you like to stop on road trips?
His answer- red lights & stop signs.

The first one was so fun and nostalgic, I was disappointed in the themes of the new one.

Glad I'm not alone. I think sometimes disney and pixar forget that their main audience is (little) kids. Also, sometimes simple is better! I think these recent sequels tend to go overboard to try to 1 up everything from the first movie. Oh well, I still love the first one!

G is going to be a good driver some day!

Today my sister is taking the girls for a last minute sleepover. Usually DH and I have something fun planned but being as busy as we've been, I kinda just feel like staying in. We'll see!

[mishka29]

I got an instant pot! I’m excited to try this thing out today.

We had two play dates yesterday and then went for sushi for dinner. The girls wanted to have a sleepover. Of course they were up before 6 ugh.

I’m off for a massage this morning! Woowho

I just instituted toy jail in my house. Let’s see if that helps them to clean up themselves lol.

We saw the grinch on Christmas Day. It was a nice movie but once you’ve seen the story... also I didn’t like the voice of the grinch.

[kartish]

mishka29 I think we also need a toy jail around here. I've been a little lax on the picking up before another toy comes out but they switch back and for so quickly right now, it is a mess before long.

Stayed out too late again at a friend's house last night, but it was a fun night. No plans tonight and I'm trying to decide whether or not to go to a NYE party Monday night.

[dreemkin]

I want to see the new Grinch eventually! It looks cute. Yesterday we ordered Chinese takeout and watched Avatar (to refresh our memories of it before our trip to Disney). Then binged on parks & rec. Tonight we are going to Holiday Lights at the zoo. Only in the Midwest would people go to outdoor events when it's freezing cold. I don't want to but my family does...

[lilyelayne]

Sooo rainy here. It’s supposed to stop by tomorrow afternoon, which is good cause G wants to do fireworks. We’re having all the ILs over for supper & fireworks NYE.

Anyone doing New Years resolutions?

[dreemkin]

Nah to new years resolutions. I am going to continue to work out, eat healthily, and be in better shape/weight. But that's more of an ongoing goal.

We did the holiday magic at the zoo and it was great! I wore my DH's snow pants and I was so warm! Best idea ever! We went with my parents and my sis.

[mishka29]

My resolution will be to eat less Brie.

It was on sale and I got three of them lol

[kartish]

Like dreemkin I'm working on sticking with my recent ongoing goals( budget and gym), but DH and I have a resolution of adding more veggies to our diet.
