Just a quick update while the weekend is fresh on my mind.
Saturday - made corned beef and cabbage in the crock pot, with excellent results, along with mashed potatoes with green onions and homemade horseradish sauce. Had a group of people over and played the Curses game again, which again was a great hit. Also played Othello, at which I seem to be a grandmaster. Stayed up til about 3 am!
Sunday - we took the boys up to Chicago for an expensive visit to the LEGO store, where the boys got some new Castle sets and custom mini-figs, followed by a quick stop at the Lincoln Park zoo where we checked out the lion house, snake / small mammal house, and primate houses. Pics to come. The boys spent the evening building their new Lego sets while we watched Dan in Real Life on DVD. We weren’t terribly impressed with the movie but it wasn’t bad. More a movie about making bad decisions (thou shalt not fall in love with your brother’s girlfriend and even if you do, thou shalt not pursue it) and lying, than about love.
