Sunny Sunday

Well, yesterday I gave my brief review of "The Da Vinci Code". Today it's time for my "Brokeback Mountain" review. Maybe it's just me, but I don't see why this movie was nominated for so much. It didn't really stand out to me. Anyway, there were two reasons I wanted to see this movie: 1.) Heath Ledger 2.) all the Academy Award nominations. Unfortunately, Jason didn't want to see it with me so I had to wait for the video which was just fine. Okay, I don't know why Heath was nominated as Best Actor for this. He is always a great actor if you ask me, I will watch him in anything. However, I couldn't understand him. I had to keep turning on the subtitles just to see what he was mumbling about. He wouldn't open his friggin' mouth. I guess that was part of the character? Or is it the result of an Aussie trying to do cowboy-speak? Well, whatever. Another complaint with this "love story" was that I wasn't feeling the love. At first it just seemed like the two dudes had nothing better to do while herding sheep one summer, and I'm supposed to believe they're in love? I dunno...passion maybe, but love? Not so much. Oh! And what was with them trying to span 20 years of their lives? I was so not believing Heath was a 40 year old man with a 19 year old daughter. Again, not buying it. Overall I thought it was an alright movie. I'm glad I saw it. I just didn't see it as the great epic Hollywood was making it out to be...is this just me?

Moving right along...I stayed up waaaaaaay too late last night watching the movie, then finishing my book, then deciding to just go ahead and wait for J to get back from practice. Then when he did get home he needed a snack and to catch up on my and his cousin Britten's blogs. So I didn't get to sleep till after 1 am. Easton was up before 7 a.m.! Yowsa...I'm tired. Easton ended up nursing really well this morning (so much for weaning, right?) and then went down for a nap after breakfast. Today has ended up as a 2 nap day. That's fine, I think he needs the rest, plus he has no energy from food to do much else just yet. He's getting there. I think he's probably on the mend now. His appetite is better but still not great (not that it is ever "great") and he's not having any more vomiting or diarrhea. I hope we continue with this trend and he can quickly gain back the weight he's lost. Poor little fella.

After his nap Easton was throwing fits from boredom so we headed out to Thorntonfest. It was so hot. We mostly walked around and Easton got a balloon. Even though we tie balloons to him or his stroller he still grips the string in his little hand. The first balloon he had sprung a leak so J sucked out the helium. Here's video. I tried but failed miserably (hence my smiling yet emphatic "No" at the end). We got him a second balloon that is still attached to the stroller in the garage. We wandered around some more and saw they were doing some sort of ameteur dog frisbee competition. We stopped to watch for a bit then I wanted my favorite fair treat--roasted corn on the cob--before we went home.

After Thorntonfest Jason mowed the lawn and E and I ran some errands, his inflatable bath tub popped last night and we wanted to get a new one. We feel like only filling a little tub each night saves on water. And time.

E is currently napping again and J and I are off to have a snack. Have a lovely day!

Okay, I just re-read this post and now I have to apologize for being so ultra boring today. Sorry. Here's a picture to try to make up for my dullness.
