Our first "Girls' Weekend"
It's Sunday. Peter wanted to go to a colleague's place for a BBQ, and he wanted to take Phaedon with him. So he called it his "boy's day out". I wanted to stay at home today cos I had a crappy night last night, and I wasn't in the mood to meet strangers and then think of how to hold a conversation. Then I felt sorry for Ellen if I stayed at home, cos she'll just be glued to the TV. So I decided to be adventurous and take her to the movies. HER FIRST MOVIE.
We went out to lunch, then bought tickets to the movie "The Wild". While we still had time to spare, I decided to do some quick supermarket shopping, drove home to put those perishables
away, and came back to the cinema.
I could actually tell she was genuinely excited. The high-back "aeroplane-style" seats, massive screen and ear-drum-blasting volume .... kept her amused for 10 minutes. 15 minutes into the session, movie hasn't even started (still playing commercials), she said she was hungry. We just had lunch an hour ago. Now why didn't I think of packing some snacks? Just bloody forgotten how to be a mother? Luckily I had a snack size Snickers in my bag, so I gave that to her. Half way into the movie, she started to get ants in her pants. Squirming and struggling to find a comfortable position to lie down. She asked for a blanket, so I had to give her my jacket. Then she asked for a pillow, so I let her lie on my lap. Then she stood up from her seat, to examine what was around her. Then she got out of her seat to go up and down the aisle. Then she started whinging... cos now she is missing her Daddy and lil' bro. Then she started her drama queen routine... said she was afraid of the wilderbeasts in the movie and what not. Finally, I had to let her sit on my lap and cuddle her.
When the movie ended, she was all happy again. By the time we got home, she asked for more TV, which of course I disallowed. So she started crying and asking for Daddy. At one stage, she even said with anger,
"Mummy! Next time don't take me!"
"Why?"
"I want Daddy to take me!"
Awwww... this poor little ..... ingrate! Because I disallowed more TV, and she's missing Daddy, she wanted to disown our "Girls' weekend". Hmph! But at least I can now say, that despite her squirming, she made it through a movie, without a tantrum where I have to leave the cinema! LOL...
Oh, overall, the movie wasn't that great. I was quite disappointed when I saw that Kiefer Sutherland was the voice behind Samson, the Lion! Quite a wimp, really. Far from Jack Bauer. I do like the Koala bear though. kekeke....
OK, layouts for this week.
My Scrap Pile DT layout for October. No patterned paper, just blings.
Title: Simply Fabulous
Title: Lick It!
Scraplift of Kristina Contes' Art layout. I was inspired by the use of 2 different background papers and the very striking centrepiece. Oh, and the fuzzy photo. This was the "fuzziest" one in my system.
Title: Peek A Boo
Scraplift of Katie Toland's Just a Trim. Oh.... really LOVE the Hambly Journal Spots! So cool.
Hope you had a great weekend and have a good week ahead.

Oh Michelle I love the bling Layout!
It is ... simply Fabulous!
Hey Mich, guess I was right on friday saying that Ellen just looks like a little princess LOL! Glad to hear that you managed to get through the whole movie. You're a lot bravier than I am.
Hi Michelle, great to finally meet you (on Friday). Love the layouts~ sounds like you had a great girls day out nonetheless too.
I had to take my little boy on a plane ride when he was only 8 months, and guess what it was delayed 3 hours, I thought Oh No, this child can't last, but he did, he was so good. It is all so different for them, it sounds like it was a very busy plane ride for you. Its a shame about the movie, Sarah wants to see it !!
Love your layouts, Simply Fabulous is Fabulous, and I love the bling.
Have a great week.
Wow Michelle I love looking at your LO's. They are too cool. It is so frustrating when you do "special" things for them and they aren't happy with them!!
