Game Night: Summer Reunion 2007

What a weekend! We saw SpiderMan 3 at the dollar movie (glad I waited) on Saturday and then went down to I-Drive on Sunday to see Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix in 3D on the IMAX big screen. Three words: A Maz Ing. We're big fans of the dollar movie and AM Cinema, but this was well worth the high price. Although this was Robert and the kids' first time viewing an IMAX film, I saw the last movie Harry Potter movie on the IMAX big screen as well. It was a 1 AM showing on opening night and it took everything in me to stay awake. I went with a huge group of my students who are big Potter fans and got to see the fanatics come out of the woodwork. People were dressed in Hogwart's attire with wands in hand. Interesting.



We had some time to kill before the movie started so we ended up at Festival Bay. Robert and the boys made their way to the Bass Pro Shop again. Hannah and I wandered the rest of mall and found ourselves at the Steve and Barry store. Sarah Jessica Parker sells her clothing line Bitten exclusively through Steve and Barry and it is a GREAT line of clothing. Nothing in the collection is over $19.98; jewelry, dresses, shoes, jean jackets, blazers, everything is under $20! The pieces are so cute and interchangeable. Hannah picked out an adorable shirt in the line for $6.98.

Sunday evening we resurrected Game Night at our house. The girls are all home from college and we have a tradition of playing loud endless games at the Landrum and Torrez house into the wee hours of the morning. Apple to Apples, Egyptian Rat Slap, Pictionary, UNO, Cranium, Disney Scene-It, Scattegories . . . we needed a new game. The girls called and we agreed to meet at Target to choose something. Somehow our paths didn't cross and I ended up getting paged to the Customer Service desk. Humiliating, but the girls thought it was hilarious. We settled on the original Scene-It. Whitney won (read:cheated) and we kept poor Robert awake with screaming and laughing until Jane announced that she had to be at work the next morning. Poor kid is the only one of us working this summer. Party Pooper.
