Sunday's (more than) Seven Snapshots vol.58

Sometimes, I have difficulty picking seven snaps for this weekly post; other times, I realize I only took seven pictures of Astro all week.  Today, I have more than seven.  Whatevs.  My blog.  My rules.

 

We had ourselves a four day weekend, so Sunday night, my guy, the boy, and I loaded up in the car and watched Goosebumps at the drive-in.

On Monday, we went to the Powerhouse Museum specifically to see The Art of the Brick: DC Comics, an entire exhibit of artwork made of legos by Nathan Sawaya.  (I highly recommend if there is one of his exhibits in your area, you go see it!)

Kid approved.  Adult approved.  What more could you want?

The exhibit exceeded my expectations by leaps and bounds and laps.

 

At the entry, I asked Liam who his favourite DC superhero is.  He said "The Flash".  (It changes regularly.)

Not too shabby of a pic for an iphone5.  That's how amazing these pieces of art are.

I enjoyed every detail from the bubbles in the bath to the bubbles on the wall.

I'd wear this dress.

The lights and details of the pieces of lego flying off the cape all added to the artwork.  Not sure why the "S" on his chest looks all wonky.  It looked good in person.

 

Since we were there, we checked out the other museum exhibits.  The boy enjoyed sampling the electricity in his body with this display.

I enjoyed Satine's necklace (Nicole Kidman's character from Moulin Rouge).

Moving on, we had lunch at Surly's - a restaurant who claims to be all about "American BBQ and beer".  I had the Philly Cheezesteak.

And, I introduced the boy to chile con queso (which is the best I've had in Australia; more like the kind you get at Chili's in America).

Stuffed & miserable or stuffed & happy?  You be the judge.

Monday night...a migraine hit.  I spent the next two and a half days in bed, lights out, no reading, no tv, mostly with a wet black towel over my face.  But, I got visits from my bff.  He had no problem spending two and a half days in bed with his mama.

The rest of the week?  Pretty normal.  Except let me tell you what's going on here.  Due to four day weekend and migraines, I was behind on household chores.  I changed the kitty litter as soon as I was up out of bed again.  The boys were so happy for a fresh place to poop that they got in the tray together.  Didn't even let me put the lid on and put it in its place in the laundry room.  Were they holding it?  Is this bonding?  No idea.  Weirdos.

 

Hope you are enjoying your last weekend of the first month of 2016!
