Family time and Harry Potter date nights
The title of this post pretty much sums up our weekend entirely. Aside from the usual errand-running and cleaning, we stayed in enjoying good movies and even better company.
On Friday, it was game night. We played a few serious rounds of Scattergories and indulged in mini-Reese's. What's not to love? Saturday, it was down to business. Grocery shopping and cleaning the place were our priorities, but we also took some time to visit a maternity and baby consignment shop. Hello? Score. I got some as-good-as-new maternity clothes and jotted down a few things I'd like to go back for before the baby comes.
Sunday's for brunch, right? Well, we brunched hard. Our family came over and made a nice brunch. I ate my weight in gluten-free pancakes and then...lounged....while the kiddos played outside with chalk. And, of course, we closed out the weekend with Mass, some fancy tacos, and the Bethesda Gaming Conference (#gamedevswife).
Every night this weekend, we watched a Harry Potter movie. (My brother and sister-in-law recently loaned us their massive movie collection, so I'm slowly becoming more cultured.) Growing up, I loved this series. Ron Weasley was my dream man. My best friends and I read the books. (Well, they read all 7. I stopped at 4.) I saw the first few movies when they came out, but for whatever reason, I totally lost touch with the series after The Goblet of Fire. I don't know why! I saw movies 6 and 7 (parts 1 and two) this weekend, and I was reminded why I fell in love with the series in the first place. Great story, excellent themes, and Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall can never disappoint.
Today, well, today's all about Monday-like things. Getting organized for the week, writing, etc., etc., etc.
Have a great Monday.
