September has arrived

We'll August has come and gone and September has made its way in. Hubs and I have had a busy last few days with painting, painting and more painting. Tuesday I came home from work and decided to paint the doors inside; 4 hrs later I finally finished after having worked from 5:30am-2pm. Hubs and I also painted all the new baseboards for the 2 bedrooms when he arrived home from work. I promise pictures will follow for these transformations.

I took yesterday off work since Hubs was off and we got the new carpet for the bedrooms. We got up earlier and finished moving things out of the bedrooms and clearing the hallway. The carpet installers arrived at 12 and had both carpets installed in less then 2 hrs, partially thanks to our help for doing alot of prep work in each room prior to their arrival. We went with a lighter color beber carpet that matches our bedroom and we absolutely love it.

Since we still had most of the day ahead of us, we headed downtown. Hubs had a few things he had to do for work so he stopped in and dealt with them and off we went for a bit to eat. We shared a poutine as an appy. He had a meatball sub with ceasar salad and I had a Philly Cheese Steak and ceasar salad. Then off to the Imax we went (We had plans to go as a movie we wanted to see ends tomorrow and it would have been the only chance we had left to see it). Hubs and I bought Imax passes last Nov, which gives us entrance to all standard Imax movies for a year for 1 price plus a discount at the concession stands and giftshop.

We decided to do a triple feature since we were already downtown and hadn't seen the 3 movies that were playing back to back. The movies we viewed were:

Rescue: Disaster Response

An inspirational and exciting new film about international response to humanitarian crises.  Throug the eyes and reflections of the rescuers themselves, you get an insider's view of a passionate commitment to saving lives, as captured in the real-time filming of the response to the disaster in Haiti.

Journey Into Amazing Caves

Tellshe story of the mysterious world of the underground: the world’s most remote, unexplored caves.  Featuring unprecedented footage from unique and forbidding ice caves, underwater caves, and terrestrial caves. Wriggle through tiny, twisting passages, drop into gleaming blue labyrinths of ice, swim through flooded underground vaults, and enter a world so extreme the microscopic creatures who live there are called extremophiles. Circle the globe, stopping in the hot, lush Yucatán; dropping into barren, frozen Greenland and flying above the primitive red rock Arizona desert. And hold your breath as expedition leaders rappel down steep cliffs into unmapped chambers, hoping to bring back startling new discoveries that may unlock new cures for human disease.

Sea Rex

Experience a wondrous adventure from the dinosaur age. Join an imaginative young woman, in a unique voyage through time and space. Explore an amazing underwater universe inhabited by larger-than-life creatures which were ruling the seas before dinosaurs conquered the earth. See science come alive in an entertaining manner and get ready for a face-to-face encounter with the T-Rex of the seas! This moving doesn't officially come out until tomorrow but we got in on an advanced screening.

*Summaries of each movie were taken from our local Imax website and slightly rephrased to give you an idea of what each film is about.

Lastly, Hubs and I booked our next trip last Sunday. Look for details on this to follow soon.
