Bolt
Sorry, there's nothing very newsworthy about our weekend, except for this:
We all went to a movie together.
This would be the first time that Annika went to the theater to see a movie and the first time the four of us were simultaneously in the theater. We saw Disney's new animated movie Bolt...it was okay...my socks were not knocked off or anything. It had a few cute parts, but it certainly was no Cars.
What have I learned from the experience? That Annika is still not ready to sit completely still and quiet through an entire feature film. I think she did well. She made it until there was only about 15 minutes of movie left...I can't blame her. I can hardly sit still through an entire movie and I'm 34. We left when she started getting a little noisy and went out into the lobby to wait for Hans and Josiah.
I also learned that we won't be going to movies together every weekend, since it cost 29 Euro for tickets, one popcorn and two Cokes. Of course, I smuggled in baggies of M&Ms for the kids. That's not cheap.
And...that's it. Sorry folks, I don't have much more. Hans came home from Heidelberg and after a long two weeks of late nights on the exercise, all he wanted was to lounge all weekend. We have this week and next before he leaves. I have decided, after much thinking, not to have a big shindig for Annika's birthday. I just don't have the energy or heart to get the house perfect and host a bunch of people. We are going to strive to make the weekend as pleasant as possible for her: a trip to the zoo, balloons, presents (including her new bike), cake, etc. and we're going to Edelweiss next week for a couple of days.
Guess I just don't feel like sharing my hubby right now.

I'm glad Hans is back home for a couple of weeks. Relish the time. As for the quiet birthday, there's nothing wrong with that. She can still be the center of attention and I know you will make the day special for her. I'll try to call early Sunday morning (my time), the 15th, to sing to her. She is our little sweetheart.
Have a great day!
Maybe he'll change his mind someday when I get one.
