Just getting back into the groove of life after a fun three day weekend at my sister's...enjoying all pop culture had to offer...
THURSDAY
*Flew to Seattle with Greg & Quinny (saint of a Grandma came and stayed with the older kids)
* Went to see New Moon at midnight on Thursday. Seriously. Can't believe I'm admitting this publicly. We were only two of oh about 2,000 people at one theater to see this...craziness and a little disappointing! Didn't get to sleep until 3:00 that night! Sat in the theater for an hour and a half BEFORE the movie started...consumed WAY too many calories courtesy the concession stand...listened to a prepubescent boy whisper "yummalicious" behind me when Jacob took his shirt off. Totally disturbing...
FRIDAY
*Obligatory visit to Target.
*Went to a nice seafood restaurant on the water with Greg, Nicole and Ian....no kids! Sooo nice. Had the best lobster fettuccine ever!
*Caught up on all of our missed t.v. shows with sissy...best person to watch them with!
SATURDAY
*Helped decorate sissy's house for Christmas. So lovely..enjoyed the lit tree and cozy fireplace!
*Drove to Everett for the So You Think You Can Dance show...so very fun! Will NEVER buy floor seats again - sat behind big fat head hat guy. He blocked the center of the stage for me the first half and kindly switched seats with his girl so he could block the center of the stage for Nicole the second half. We are equal opportunity sisters you know. The show was great though. We didn't realize that it was the last stop on the tour so they mixed it up a lot and did all sorts of silly stuff. Very worth it even if we did have to drive home an hour and a half in the pouring rain very late at night!
SUNDAY
*IKEA! Record shopping at IKEA...we were limited on time so it was a quick hour of shopping time. Just enough time to walk through and drool over all the new stuff! And I was limited to what I could bring home on the plane..no van to fill!
*Flew home to a lovely clean home courtesy the saint of a Grandma mentioned above...happy and clean kids to boot! Way to go Grandma!
So now you all know, I've exposed myself...YES, I read those books and YES, I watch those shows and I even read People magazine! Terrible I know...

Sounds like the best weekend ever! Aren't sisters just the best? Lucky you flying home to a clean house.. I had to take a 7 hour bus ride and the house was a disaster! Have a wonderful holiday, Courtney! I look forward to connecting with you afterwards!
Makes me miss my sister SO much! Wow, sounds like the best of fun!! :)
Your sister sounds COOL! You sure are lucky to have her ;^)
LOVED having you here to do all that fun stuff with. Glad we haven't lost our ability to have fun together 5 kids later!
That 'Saint of a Grandma' that you mentioned slept for 11 hours last night after returning home. I'd do the week-end all over again..:-) hugs.....namma
ok so how fun is all this...
I may not be into the show, or the movie... BUT..
I do love me some ikea, and I have my own embarrsing things I love! :) hehehe...
makes me wish I had a sis..! :)
Love to you lady, and one very sweet mutual friend of ours.. keeps raving about how wonderful you are, and how much I am just going to love you come March!

i'll admit it...i read the books...haven't seen any of the movies yet...don't know if i will. sooo disturbing about the yummalicious comment...seriously! yay for grandmas and ikea and sisters...what a fabulous time it sounds like you had!
I'm so glad you had a good time! Now after everyone's comments I feel the desire for a sister. Oh well I never had to share anything but food and the tv with my brothers so...there! Still longing. :)
Hi Cottage Mommy!
First, I have the blue tray in your sidebar/comments photo - it's my absolute favorite - don't you just love it?
Second, Toby Mac is on your playlist right now - he's been my long time favorite - never get tired of Mac-daddy.
Third, please tell me more about the awesome window by your attic stairs. What is that in the window panes - I love it!
Fourth, my camera is a Rebel. It is fabulous. I have learned a ton with it, and they have a brand new model out right now, the T1i. I hear great things about it.
Finally, I know this is TMI for a comment (couldn't find an email address, but didn't look too very hard either,) so please feel free to delete it as it is currently approaching novel length. If you have any more photography questions, email me any time!
Your cottage and your kids are adorable.
Have a great day,
Teresa
