Boys Day Out With Nana

Lunch at CiCi's Pizza

I had told the boys we would have a day out when Megamind was released. That movie seemed like a boys kind of movie and one that Popie would stay awake in. Saturday day Mom and Dad bought the boys over. They started with a little tree climbing as the adults visited for awhile and Sara was able to have some "girl" time with Anna having a tea party. Of course Sara wanted to go to the movie also but she is not a boy....... That said it all.

Movie was in 3D. We sat up front, 3rd row back. Not exactly the best place for Nana to sit. I spent most of the time with my eyes closed so I wouldn't get dizzy. Let's see large popcorn, drinks and candy from Target. This is on top of the pizza at lunch (getting nauseated as I type) and 3D images coming out at me. Pop stayed awake... It was a great movie give it a 2 thumbs up. Boys agree.

After that stimulation we decide to recycle Nana's office plastic, cans and newspaper. Treat for helping do a good green deed was a trip to....

No, our Barnes and Noble does not look like this but books and hot chocolate were enjoyed by all. I can't refused the purchase of books.

That is my weakness $$$$ later the boys decided they had to have dinner before heading home. As if we had not been eating our way up and down Wanamaker.
The decision on where to eat was unanimous. Yup you guessed it.

Of course it has the Megamind toy.





What a perfect day we all had, love my boys.

Car Shopping........for a Teenage

Brooke, one of my most precious granddaughters, a 17 year old High School senior is feeling what they call the middle child syndrome.
You know the how come they got cars their junior year and I don't have one yet? Now, she is a wonderfully patient child, I mean young women, and I understand her frustration. Of course I did not get my first car until I was married..... That is a whole other story and we won't go there.
After several weeks of looking on line...Autotrader.com, Craigslist.com and looking at dealerships we were getting to the point of frustration. No cars in our price range. Apparently there was this little thing called "Cash for Clunkers" you know to help boost the economy.
This last cold and wet Friday we went looking for cars. We were going to buy a car if it was the last thing we did. Fortified with a Latte and hot chocolate we looked and looked and looked, you guessed it, looked some more.

 

Nope none of these were good enough for our Brooke.....
Finally we found the right one. One that would get her to school, work and any errands that her Mom would ask of her.


We are all happy.
