So, I've actually had a busy weekend. So busy actually that this is the first time I've sat at the computer since Friday afternoon. That's unusual for me because I like to check at least once a day so I don't have emails piling up etc. I just know you are dying to know what kept me so busy all weekend so I won't disappoint. ;)
Friday night I decided to go crazy and go to the Breaking dawn party at our library from 10- midnight...I have to admit I don't stay up that late very often. I'm rather fond of my sleep and when you have a baby you never know when you'll get enough. But, I went anyway with a few friends and one of them even won the book! I'm VERY unlucky and had no notions that I would win anything so it wasn't a shock at all when I didn't win. I finally got to sleep around 2:30 after coming home to an awake Liam and having to feed/calm him down and get him back to sleep. (I secretly think Jason pinched him right when I got home just so I'd have to stay awake a little while longer...just kidding)
Saturday I tried in vain to sleep in. When you have kids there is no such thing as sleeping in. Even after they are told by Daddy to leave me alone they still keep coming into my room to ask me stuff...or crying at the door...or just talking loud enough in the kitchen that there's no way I can sleep. So, I dragged my tired behind out of bed. Thankfully Daddy took all the kids on errands with him so I at least had some peace and quiet.
Saturday afternoon Jason took me to see the new batman movie. He'd already seen it and wanted an excuse to go again so pretended that all my asking for a date with him had finally won out and he took me to the move. I'll be honest...it wasn't my favorite. The movie was really well done, the acting was fantastic, but the whole feel of the movie was so dark and sinister feeling that I left with a sick feeling in my heart. I'm partial to leaving movies feeling happy and content with the perfect way everything always turns out in the non reality of movies, but this didn't leave me that way at all. I think Jason was disappointed that I didn't like it.
Now it was his turn to pay up. I've been wanting him to take me to eat Indian food ever since I read the book "Hindi Bindi Club" since I was too intimidated by all the unknown ingredients in the recipes included in the book to try them myself. So, he finally took me (it was the only way I'd go to batman with him ...) We went to the Bombay House in Provo. It was REALLY good. I can't wait to try more of it. The funny thing is that ever since I decided I wanted to try Indian food I've noticed a lot more Indian restaurants while driving around. So, maybe I'll try them all out. It was nice to finally have a real date with my husband. :) Thank goodness for our babysitters extraordinare--Grandma and Grandpa.
Jason, being the great husband that he is bought me the new Twilight series book 4 on his errands on Saturday. I didn't have a chance to start reading it until Saturday night after we got back from our date and all the kids were in bed. I got through about 100 pages or so then Sunday got to about pg 500...I finished it up today. I'm reserving my judgements on it until more people I know have read it. I don't want to spoil it for anyone...Once you've read it leave a comment and tell me what you thought of it...I'll post my feelings in awhile so people have a chance to finish it. :)
Have a great day!!

Reading Hindi Bindi Club made me super hungry too! I was lucky - Geoff served his mission in that part of the world and learned how to cook over there.
Don't worry - I felt the same way about the Dark Knight. It was just too dark for me. I like to feel at least positive at the end of movies, but this one just didn't hit me that way. I couldn't imagine sitting through it more than once. What was most disturbing was that when the Joker would do something truly horrific, people in the theater were laughing. I just didn't get it.
I loved what Dr. Laura said about it on her blog though. It gave me a more positive perspective on it.

Haven't gotten sucked into the Twilight series myself, so you can spoil the ending for me all you want!
I'm gonna have to read Hindi Bindi Club. I love trying new food. I have managed to avoid the Dark Knight, even though my darling husband is a HUGE fan of Batman and thinks the movie was terrific. I think he knows I'll hate it and doesn't want to be disappointed that yet again our opinions are polar opposite. :) I finished Breaking Dawn in ONE day, 22 hours to be exact. It wouldn't have taken that long but I got home from work around 2 am and started reading but by 8 I had to take a nap (5 hours worth of nap) Can I just say that I LOVE having all my kids over 5! I get to sleep in AND ignore them negligently while I read. Can't wait to read what you thought about it.
