Another day spent mostly at home today. We did venture out to walk down the hill to the CVS that's not too far off. I took in my pictures from last Thursday's adventure to the Discovery Museums. Then we rewarded ourselves with a stop by the bakery on the way home. I wanted to try a cupcake to test the waters for birthday cakes. It was pretty good.
It was a really cool day - high of maybe 60 - so Rachel and I decided to do some baking after lunch. She chose the chocolate chip muffin recipe from a kids cookbook she got for her birthday (thanks, Nanny!), and we got cookin'. They turned out great, and the heat from the kitchen helped warm up the house.
I called to check on our car around 5:00, and found that it was all done but the paperwork. Mickey called me back a bit later with the bad news, then the kids and I took off for the bus stop to retrieve it. We were all glad to have the van back in working order so we could go get a movie for our family movie night. This week the selection was Flushed Away, that wonderful bit of cinematic history that served as David's first movie to see in a big theater. We all really like the singing slugs that provide the soundtrack and comic relief all during the film. For supper, we picked up Chinese take out from Young's. The kids liked it much better than the first one we tried. We sat in the floor, watched our movie and had a Chinese picnic (a very messy food selection for movie night). A delicious dessert of chocolate chip muffins followed. All in all, a very good day.
