Kid Movie Time

Terry and I went to see the new movie "Coraline" this weekend. A very good movie that was totally creepy. It's animated, but still pretty scary, part of which involved taking out people's eyes and putting in buttons instead. Yeah, buttons. I find that a somewhat creepy concept. Also, it's in 3D, which is a nice touch. I think Terry and I were the oldest people in the theatre without children. Overall though, we really liked it, and then went to get margaritas and appetizers for dinner afterwards. 

This weekend we had a warmup in Boston, with temperatures into the 40s and 50s. Terry even opened the windows for a little while to bring in some fresh air. Hopefully this is a sign of the end of winter! Cross your fingers. 

Baby time

Terry and I babysat Stephanie and Jeff's babe Lindsay Friday night, and we're pleased to say that everyone had a good time, possibly even Lindsay. She was a good start to our weekend, which came after what seemed like a never ending work week. And Stephanie and Jeff got a few hours to themselves to have a nice dinner out. All in all, a success! 

We also hung out Saturday night at our friends' Rich and Melissa's house for Rich's surprise going away party. Rich is heading down to D.C. for a fantastic promotion, and Melissa will follow a few months afterwards. We're happy for them, yet so sad to see them leave! Apparently Terry and I ruined the surprise because he saw our car parked on the street, even though we'd parked a block and a half away. He said he had suspected anyway. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures from last night that are fit to publish online. You can just use your imagination. 

beerfest

This weekend has been especially cold in Boston, so Terry and I met up with our friends Joe and Emily and hit the Beer Summit downtown to warm up a bit. What a good time! They give you mini beer mugs and you walk around to a number of different breweries and sample their different beers. Of course, only the afternoon session was available, and it is a bit weird to be drinking so much beer at 12:30. Needless to say, we all went home afterwards ready for a nap. Then we woke up this morning to more snow. It is winter, after all.
