janelle's birthday!

so, we celebrated janelle's birthday this week.

we had planned to go rock climbing on friday but no one could make it, so we were a little disappointed, but janelle's classmate, angela, threw a surprise party for janelle on thursday evening and that was so wonderfully fantastic.

on friday, janelle's sister took her out to lunch and afterwards, janelle and i went shopping and we got janelle some perfume that smells like toffee or coffee crisp or something and then we went to see cloudy with a chance of meatballs and we were the only ones in the whole theatre! i like it when that happens.

the movie was super good, but all the food in it must have made us nauseous because we both felt really sick later that night.

one time, we were in toronto and we went to a really, really late movie and when we got there we were the only ones there so we picked the best seats. a few minutes later another couple showed up and janelle offered to move over so they could share the best seats with us and the gentleman replied, "i've never had such a generous offer in such an empty theatre." that was funny.

on saturday we went to eva's birthday party. i hung around the kitchen munching on cheesy crackers and cupcakes while janelle painted kid's faces. it was really neat. she turned max into a regular clown (once he put the multicoloured wig on), and she painted black and purple stars on eva's cheeks, and cupcakes on laurie's cheeks... i wanted her to paint a rainbow on my right cheek and a unicorn on my left cheek but we ran out of time.

we had dinner with jon and andrea in bedford and vince and ciela came too. vince and ciela just got engaged in cape breton and were on their way back to ottawa. so after dinner, janelle and i drove them to the airport. it was a neat little visit, a little too short, though.
