After that we picked up Zach's best friend Nathan and headed to the movies. Wendy had gotten a bonus at work a couple months ago and used some of it to buy an AMC gift card, so the movie and snacks only cost us $10! I guess that partially makes up for the trip to Build a Bear! We saw Madagascar 2 and it was pretty cute.
Next stop was the house for linner (lunch and dinner). We tried out some new fajita pans we had gotten for our birthdays. They worked great and the fajitas were yummy. We tried some whole wheat tortillas this time and they were pretty good too. As soon as the dishes were in the dishwasher we headed out to the church we have been going to for a fundraiser auction. I had donated a picture and was curious to see how much it raised, plus we just wanted to see if we could find some bargains. I think my picture went for about $20, which isn't too bad I guess. Wendy won a $25 Olive Garden gift card in the raffle and she won a game that she bid on for $25. So all in all, we were only spent $5 for the game if you count the gift card she won. The auction was fun and it looked like the church raised a lot of money for some renovations they want to do. Here is the picture I donated. I had it framed in a dark wood from with a white mat.
After the auction we wrapped up our evening with a trip to the roller skating rink. I'm not quite as nimble on my feet as I used to be, but we still had a good time. Plus, it wore Nathan and Zach out some, so that is always a bonus! Whew, I'm tired just writing about all that again.... I think I'll go take a nap before the Redskins game tonight!
