Movie and more layouts

OK... some of you might have heard that I'm single mum for 2 weeks. Hubby left me.... went to US for work. Everyone I told, had their eyes lit up immediately. They wondered if I have a scrapbook shopping list for my husband! LOL... that was the last thing on my mind.... god honest truth! All I kept thinking is... how am I going to survive 2 weeks of school holidays, without any help??? Kids 24/7, no break, and no one to take over after 6 or 7pm???? Yes, I'm normally very well taken care of by my wonderful husband. That's why, I couldn't fathom 2 weeks of my life without him coming home to take over the kids from me!

He left on Friday morning. We stayed home on Friday and Saturday all day. On Sunday, I decided we need to get out of the house. We went shopping at a very busy shopping centre. I needed to get my hair conditioner from a salon. Then we had lunch. Then we shopped at Target. I put a massive dinosaur on layby and told Phaedon that I will send that to Santa, so Santa can give that to him for Christmas. Then I bought the kids a bottle of bubbles each, that made them very happy.

Today, I was very brave. I took them to the movies. **insert shock horror emoticon here** I can just about hear some of you say, "BOTH your kids?! You did not!!!!" Yep, I sure did. We bought tickets to see Surf's Up. We made rules though:
1. We need to go to the toilet before the movie.
2. We will sit still on the seat during the movie.
3. We are allowed to run and dance only during credits.
And I must say, they did pretty well. Ellen wasn't going to go to the toilet when I was putting Phaedon on the toilet. But I told her Auntie Ruey's threat: that if she needs to go to the toilet during the movie, the butcher will be taking her, not Mommy. Tell me how quickly she changed her mind. ROFLMAO... They got a bit antsy towards the end... but as soon as the surfing and the boppy music was on, they were happy. And they did their dance and running around to the end theme which I promised they could do. The movie was GREAT!!! Really funny and cute. I highly recommend it.

OK.. more layouts to share. Got my For Keeps #59 today. These were the layouts in it. Ellen was just delighted to see herself turn into a caterpillar on magazine! LOL...





That's all for today. Tomorrow is baking day with my kids (betcha never seen me so domesticated) and Wednesday, is lunch date with Ruey, Vita, Felicity, and Jane. Can't wait!
