Well, it was another fabulous day here at the MP household.  After enjoying a thoroughly filling lunch at Red Robin we took the kiddos to see Shrek the Third since Nathan’s nap schedule made us miss the sneak preview we had free passes to a few weeks ago.

We actually hadn’t been to RR in a long while.  It didn’t take me long to remember why I love it so much there.  It’s noisy enough to drown my kiddos out and there’s a lot going on in that place.  Plus, I like the fact that our server always brings us (upon request, of course) our steak fries early along with some yummy Ranch dressing for dipping!

Anyway, it was Will’s first movie and it was perfect timing going at 2 pm!  After chowing on a bit of popcorn through the previews he nursed for a few minutes and then was fast asleep till the movie’s end.  I guess N8 and actually can let him accompany us this summer at the movies.  The super green-filled flick was really good and we all shared a lot of laughs.  Nathan had been especially excited to see the Gingerbread Man’s “gumdrop poopdots” as he calls them.  Don’t ask – it was just funny.

Afterwards we picked up some smoky ribs for dinner.  We came home, let Nathan nap and just lounged.  The ribs turned out delish by the way….not bad for $9.99 for a full rack! It’s turned out to be a pretty good Saturday after all – not that I expected otherwise.
