So the long weekend was great, but naturally busy as all get out.
Saturday we went over to the in-laws' for the July 1st gathering they always have. JG & ME came along as well. We ate tons and watched fireworks from the back porch and then off to bed we went.
Sunday we went to a friends' place in Goderich for their son's 3rd birthday. The place is just off a private beach so the kids got to enjoy a swim in the lake and all that jazz. Then we zoomed back into town just in time to get them cleaned and in pj's so we could take them to the drive-in. We saw the Lake House & Superman Returns. Woo! I love Superman like nobody's business as anyone who knows me could tell you, so I was pumped. Spacey totally nailed the Lex Luthor role and the new Superman is also quite good and not very hard to look at in the least either, which helps. The new Lois Lane was a little off-putting but not enough to make me dislike the movie. It was very very good. The Lake House was also good but then again I knew the plot basically from the Korean movie it had ripped off, "Il Mare".
We didn't get home till 3:30 am, house lights blazing which was weird as we had turned almost all of them off. Shawn got spooked and went in on his own asking me to run for it if he wasn't back in 5 minutes. Nobody had broken or entered though, so it must have been the ghost or something.
Sunday was sort of lazy sort of busy. My parents were supposed to have come over for dinner but backed out at the last minute, but that didn't stop us from entertaining anyway. We just called some friends over & had our meal in peace. Then the 4 of us (me SO & the kids) played a game or two before we sent them off to bed.
i had a bout of insomnia and you think that would have given me the edge to hearing people get into our car last night and steal stuff. But no. So this morning I get in the car and lo and behold, the car'd been given the once-over for worldly possessions. The glove compartment contents were all over the floor and the sun visors were askew, but other than that no real damage was done. Here's a list of what was taken:
- about 7 dollars in change
- an air freshener shaped like cherries
Who the hell steals a cherries air freshener but leaves $60.00 worth of CDs???
This just further cements my belief that the world is on it's way to hell, in a very pretty handbasket.
Seriously, though. Who the hell steals a cherries air freshener?
