Quick Weekend Recap

We had a nice weekend despite the rainy, gross weather.

Friday:
I HAD to get out. No ifs ands or buts about it. So we just got in the car and left. No plan. Ended up at Iron Hill Brewery in downtown Newark and LOVED it!! It was loud, busy, and very cool (kind of like Iron Cactus in Austin) and the food was great. It reminded me of the restaurants we used to eat back in the day in Austin and I just really needed that! Michael inhaled his dinner of fish and chips, broccoli, french fries and ice cream. Yes, all of it. He loved staring through the window at the fermenter units...good grief...an engineer on our hands. Brian and I split a seafood bisque. Then I had a lump crabcake sandwich with lots of vegetables on the sandwich and as a salad. Brian had a seafood pot pie. DELICIOUS. Perfect restaurant with good food, loud atmosphere to mask Michael's craziness, and booths. That's it. That's all we ever ask for.

Saturday:
Brian gave me the day off! SO I shopped at the mall. Ran into Gymboree, got to talkin' to the sales lady and she tells me that she has oodles of kaboodles of sales stuff in the back. There's no room for them at the front of the store so it's just back there...at prices from $1.99-$9.99. She was so sweet and ran back there and grabbed me all sorts of things for Michael that I could go through. I got some pretty sweet deals (shorts for $1.99, pants for $2.99). And I"m going back this week for more! I read some books/magazines at Barnes and Noble because I like to do that. And then it was time to come home to my happy family! I made Chicken Cacciatore and we had Family Movie Night. We watched UP and we still love that movie.

Sunday:
Still raining. Went to our church, which we really like. Michael ate too many goldfishes, starts choking, then threw up the rest. EWWwww...so we hustle him out into the front foyer away from the service and clean him up a bit. Luckily, it wasn't a lot...but it was still yucky. The rest of the mass was just fine! Michael got his first blessing from the priest and he was pretty happy about that! Then we went over to The Gaglianos for lunch. We checked out their bathroom remodeling plans, then played Wii. It was really nice.

That's it. Just wanted to write it down.
