Sometimes it’s the most simple of things that refresh your spirit and get you ready for the busy week ahead. Like our family evening last night…we met up with our friends Mac and Jessica to have dinner and take the kids (that was what we said anyways hehe…) to see SHREK Forever After – The Final Chapter. It was hilarious, as were the previous movies. Fun, colorful, with our famous familiar voices of Donkey (my personal favorite), Shrek, Fiona and Puss n Boots.
Dinner was really good with a spread of Onion Rings, Baby Back Ribs, Chicken Tenders and many other things. We enjoyed the food and the conversation was even better. It’s so fun to just let go, laugh and forget about the chaos of life for a few hours.
I think it is a rare thing in life when you meet people in your adult ages, where things just work out. You know…the wives get a long, the hubbies get a long, the KIDS get a long. Sometimes, it would be so much easier to be little again. To walk up to people and go “Hey, wanna be my friend? We can play tag or go down the slide or something!?” LOL Unfortunately, as we get older we build walls and don’t have the time. So it get’s a bit more difficult. So it’s like a cherished jewel, when you find friends you can let loose with like that.
In the end we ate WAY too much popcorn, peanut M & M’s, Reese’s pieces, Soda and dinner! Spent too much on the animal crane. However, I will add that I dominated the animal crane. I won a baby SHREK and some other little stuffed guy! Two for one baby, YEAH! But, I think we burned our calories laughing hard, and WALKING to the movie theater. Taking with us fun memories and looking forward to the next time we get together. =)
XOXO’s
