Sunny.
Yesterday was a good but busy day. In the morning I cooked my breakfast while Van and Katie had a bit of a fight. Still, everyone got ready and we left on time to go to Body Works. Zach was a bit of a pain on the way there, he was hitting his sister. He's sneaky for a little guy.
Van and I really liked Body Works. Katie didn't as much. I think she was freaked out by the whole idea of the bodies being from real people. It really was fascinating seeing the inner workings of bodies. After we left that exhibit, we played a little in the kids area. It was good for Zach to get some steam off.
Van drove us over to South Edmonton Common and I checked out the movie listings. The one Kate wanted to see was on at 9 pm, so a little too late for us. I suggested either Mamma Mia or Ghost Town. We chose Ghost Town, and then headed off to have lunch. Van dropped Kate and I off at Boston Pizza. That was Katie's choice of restaurant.
I wanted to have Beef Dip, but apparently with the whole Maple Leaf crisis they aren't serving it, so I settled for the Santa Fe Stromboli. Kate had her favourite, a ham and cheese stromboli. It was very good. After lunch we walked back towards the theatre and did a little shopping on the way. Kate got herself a really pretty t-shirt.
We went to see Ghost Town. I quite liked it, but it was quite British in it's humor. I don't think Kate really got it. After all, she's only 11. Still afterwards, she said she liked it.
After the movie we called Van and asked her to pick us up in Indigo, the book store. We hacked around the store for a bit. Kate found some dvds she wanted to buy, but I asked her to wait until her mum came. I didn't want her to buy something her family already had.
Van picked us up, Kate bought two of the dvds, then made her mum buy the other one. We stopped on the way home to buy pizza. It's quite nice, you buy it, take it home and cook it for yourself. They make it right in front of you, so you know how fresh it is. Unfortunately, Zach had a major meltdown. He tried to get up onto the wooden bench in the store and really banged his knee. I'll be surprised if he doesn't have a huge bruise there today. Then, we got him cheered up again, and he tried to do it again, with the same result. Oh dear. He was not a happy camper.
At home, Van cooked the pizza and the cheese bread, so we all ate in front of the TV. It was kind of fun. Zach was much happier at home. I think with me being here, his schedule is really interupted and he doesn't really know what's going on.
I went to bed fairly early last night. It was sometime around 10 I think. I turned on the TV to watch something, and then woke up at 1:30 am with the lights and the TV still on! I didn't sleep that well last night. I think I may have caught whatever cold the kids have. Sigh.
Anyway, I don't really have big plans for today. I think Van wants me on babysitting duty while she goes to the Running Room for something. I guess I can't really complain, can I?
Talk to you later....
