We managed to have a pretty fun weekend this weekend. We kicked it off with a Dinner Theater on Friday night. This was a thinly veiled attempt to rid the refrigerator of leftovers, and it worked pretty well. I asked Cat if she wanted to head up the event, and she eagerly agreed. She made a sign with the dinner menu (behind her in the picture), a maitre d' station, and tickets. Also, notice that Cat is wearing red and black and the sign is written in red and black. This was no coincidence.
Cat and I waited on the guests, serving them whatever leftovers they ordered from the menu. Some of the combinations made me laugh - I remember that Jack ended up with pizza and rice. After dinner, we had fun watching "Nanny McPhee" and munching on popcorn. I'd told the girls we could have a spa night as well, so I made a batch of banana-honey-sour-cream facial mask and started putting it on, but the girls were pretty grossed out and wanted nothing to do with it. Cat felt okay about using a store-bought mask I had, though, and enjoyed that.
I think we'll have to have an encore dinner theater night some time.
What a great idea. Why didn't I think of that 30 years ago?
