For date night Friday night, Aaron and I rented the movie Lincoln, and watched it for the first time. I've been wanting to see it since it came out. It's fantastic! Seriously, such a well done movie. It's probably one of my all-time favorites. And apparently it's fairly historically accurate as well. (More details here.) We named our son Lincoln, after Abraham Lincoln, and this movie captures President Lincoln's character so well that I am happy to have a son with his name-sake. I love the stories he tells at random times to ease the tension, or prove a point. And I love the scene where he talks about Euclid to the engineer at the telegraph. And the scene where he's trying to get his cabinet members to support him and get the votes they need. And Tommy Lee Jones is awesome. The movie is just so well done. I loved it. So, if you haven't seen this movie...see it! I will definitely be buying it first chance I get.
Aaron spent most of Saturday working on our fire pit and garden wall. He finished the wall. Now, he just has the front edge of the fire pit to cut out the stones for. Then we need to fill the rest of our garden with dirt, and plant plants! Hooray for gardening!
I spent most of my weekend inside with the kidlets. Well, minus Linc, he stayed outside with Aaron for a lot of the day. I love this picture of Oliver snuggled up on Aaron's shoulder sound asleep. Precious baby.
And, I made Tapioca pudding. While I was stirring it, I happened to pick up the package and read the back. I had no idea that tapioca came from the cassava plant. I guess you learn something new every day.
