* Date-night-movies-of-the-month: You read that right. Movies. Plural. :) First up, we saw the new X-Men movie.
Pretty good! I loved the background story on a lot of the characters and it was sad to see how some of the good guys ended up as bad guys. And especially sad to see the moment when Professor X was injured and you knew he would forever be in a wheelchair.The second movie was during our Seattle weekend {where we ran into Kate from Our Best Bites} and we saw Super 8.
Now, Sean was much more excited to see this than I was, but after some of the previews he showed me online I was very intrigued and we were not disappointed!! I would put this one above X-Men as far as a "must-see" just because it's a little different that a lot of the movies out this summer. The kids are the main characters and they do an awesome job. It is an alien movie and although I am not much of an alien movie fan, the storyline kept me interested enough to not the nasty-looking alien bother me (too much).* Visitors: First we watched the oldest Coleman boy [Brandon, 10] one afternoon {which worked out great because Sean was off that day} and Ethan got to experience being a little brother. These two got along great!! They played cars, Transformers and a couple of DVD games, played outside and in the kiddie pool, ate pizza and watched a movie.
These were all the cars, trucks and Transformers all lined up for the mega-battle!! 
Ethan all ready to go outside and play in the water.Next, we had Sean's friend from high school, Garrett, come for dinner and stay the night.
He had been on a cross-country road trip and we were one of the last stops before heading back to SoCal. It was fun to talk with him and hear all about his adventures in cross-country travel. In the morning, he broke out his accordion and showed Ethan how it works.
* Brooke's Wedding: The last Sunday in June, the teacher that Sean works with at WSSB got married and Sean ended up being kinda in the wedding party. He was an attendant and pushed Brooke's grandpa in his wheelchair down the aisle so he could give her away.
Sean also wore his new charcoal gray dress slacks and gray/white tie (birthday gifts) and looked quite dashing, if I do say so myself!* June Library Books Review:
"I Am Not Afraid Of This Haunted House" was hands down our favorite! It's a rhyming book, very cleverly written and funny. It is one I will be looking to add to our collection. "Tip Tip Dig Dig", "Excuse Me!", "Tissue, Please!" and "The True Story of the Three Little Pigs" were also pretty good. The other three were duds.* Random Pictures:
Ethan showing off his monster puppet.
He was quite proud of himself for climbing on top of this dresser we inherited {that I need to do a little make-over on}. Yeah, we quickly vetoed him doing that again!
Statue at the Portland Box Office {I was getting our Les Miserables tickets - it was basically sold out, but we did get manage to get a couple tickets... clear in the back!}.
