Weekend Cocktail

Hubby, Mr. C, M, (+M's friend  & her mom) and I went to see Harry Potter together this weekend. S went to a later show with one of her friends. I didn't let the girls go to the midnight premier because it was a school night. They were apparently the only people who didn't get to see the premier--boo hoo! I was sooooo much more pleased with this movie than the last one. Sure there are some things left out, but at least everything comes from the book.

I met M's coronation date and his family. I don't know if I've written about coronation before. The first Friday in December the high school has a coronation dance. It is formal and a huge deal--to the kids and quite a few parents. It is bigger than prom in the spring. All 4 grades can attend. You can go solo or with a date. Anyway, M is taking a boy from a local private Christian school. We had to fill out some form and have both families and both schools sign for this to happen. Two of M's best friends are taking boys from the same school, but none of them are "dating". I thought M's date was sweet and his parents were very normal.

Hubby got an early start to the weekend. He was sick Friday and stayed home to go to the doctor. He found out he had bronchitis, got two shots and some medicine. He slept a lot and is feeling a bit better, although his voice is about shot.

The kids are on vacation all next week. Monday we're planning to drive around checking out college campuses, Tuesday we go to the dentist, and Thursday we get to stuff ourselves with all kinds of starchy foods. So obviously a busy week ahead.

Stay tuned--big announcement coming tomorrow!
