Valentine's Weekend

One of the best Thursday through Sunday's on record:

Thurs: Jaden was FANTASTIC all morning. I mean the angel child. I was in heaven. That night I had a scavenger hunt to find my gifts which were Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, and Golden Compass. Plus a day off of work! So late into the night watching Golden Compass and knitting!

Fri: Fun family time. Then shopping for summer clothes for Jaden. Then girl's night out!!! California Pizza Kitchen with the girls. yummy Then CORALINE!!! Fantastic wonderful film! Best cartoon by that director yet! Then hang out with the girls at Starbucks just chilling and talking about life.

Sat: Wake up in a blur from night out lateness. Up really early and then off to Austin with Kate, Lauren, & MB to meet the Ravelry crew sans Bob. Fun at the Knitting Nest. I bought yarn. I know. I know. But I got a cute bag to immortalize Ravelry visiting Texas with the purchase! Let's see I bought three skeins of Peace Fleece and two of Cascade 220 Superwash. The good thing about this purchase is that I will be knitting it up quickly and then it leaves my house! Then wonderful after the long wait bunch at Magnolia. Then Hill Country Weavers were some perfect retro 70's sock yarn screamed "you must own me I am so cool and no one realizes it!" Then to the most awesome random thing in the city. Hey, Cupcake! Gives me faith in this world that something as strange as this can bloom and thrive. Bought Will half a dozen basically one of every cupcake they had. Then with a promise of a tattoo in the future the weary travels returned home. Where I collapsed while he and Jaden ate almost all of the cupcakes.

Sun: Knitting and reading plenty. Highlight... we bought Jaden a bubble blowing machine. Took it out in the front yard and literally filled the street with bubbles. Jaden running around crazy playing. So fantastic. The neighborhood kids taking pictures of all of the bubbles with their phones. Some of them even chased after the bubbles. Laying on the driveway starring at a fantastical world. Priceless. Leaving out the bad parts of the car breaking down because the bubbles blew the anger away while I watched Jaden laugh with delight.
