All good
Well, in the end we decided against going to a movie, because I get very sleepy by about 9 and staying up past 11 is a thing of the distant past. Instead we went out for dinner to a lovely restaurant that we'd never tried before. It was absolutely perfect: kinda fancy, really good food, lovely romantic ambiance and moderate prices! Then we decided to go for a drive to the lookout on Mount Royal. It was a foggy night, and on the mountain the fog was really thick. Strange to go to a lookout on a foggy night, perhaps, but it was kind of eerie to look out on the city and know that it's there but not see it. Plus the drive up there was a crazy adventure!
It was a great evening, an intimate date that felt just like old times (except that we talked about our kids a lot).
Our "lodger" moved out the next morning. Bright and early, but the move went quickly and the weather was gorgeous. He is very happy with the whole situation. Let's hope this fresh new start will be the beginning of better times for him.
All in all, our weekend was busier than I would have liked (I'm feeling extremely lazy these days), but good, with plenty of fun time spent outdoors with the children, who finally got their bikes out once our garage was emptied of our friend's possessions.
Now we have to get to work on the baby's room, and collecting all the stuff we need for the baby. Believe me, what we don't have is a lot!
