Friday night started off with Brother's first trip to the new Winspear Opera House to see Don Giovanni. It was FANTASTIC (even though we sat SO high we couldn't see the top of the talking statue during one of the scenes LOL.) I definitely liked it better than last week's Anna Bolena (although that one was still good and the seats were front and center orchestra instead of in the rafters.) The lead men singing in Italian was enough to dazzle anyone. Add in amazing sets that constantly changed and included smoke and lights, comedy, drama, action, sword fights, and music by my favorite classical composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart... yep, I definitely was happy.
Saturday was a day of errands/shopping and even though I didn't much, just the act of shopping brings me joy. Food for the house, Halloween items on major markdown, and Bed Bath & Beyond for all my friends' upcoming weddings. For dinner, Josh picked up my favorite pizza (Papa Murphy's) and we watched UT football on the Xbox. Let's not concentrate on how bad the Longhorns are this year but instead on how cool it is that ESPN now streams live on the Xbox. We also watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Josh and his sister grew up watching this all the time and LOVED it. I'm amazed they're not scarred HAHA.
Thanks to Daylight Savings time, today I got extra sleep and enjoyed just staying in bed watching Netflix until it was time to go to my cousin's 2nd birthday party. I'm not used to the hyperness of children... let me tell you, I'm TIRED. (Could also be due to Daylight Savings Time but I'll stick to blaming the children.)
They were cute kids and fun to watch/play with. And now... the following picture makes me simultaneously feel super bad for my cousin and laugh...
He was doing perfectly fine the entire party and happy as can be... until everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" to him. Then his face went from happy to hesitant to scared to full WAILING. Poor baby but he got over it fast, no worries.
On to the presents... he's on his way to being a little rock star one day.
He REALLY loves guitars. This would be his 3rd now and he jams along. It's cute to watch him dancing along to the music. He also got the drum which contained symbols, maracas, the little finger symbols, and a trumpet. My cousins can say goodbye to sleeping in!
And now, time for some more Netflix before saying goodbye to another lovely weekend.
