I feel like every time I post to this blog I preface by writing “We’ve been really busy for the past couple of weeks.” I guess by now you’ve figured out that we somehow keep ourselves very busy pretty much non-stop… The past few weeks have been no exception.

Will has begun to disperse his Star Wars obsession out to a couple of other subjects: Harry Potter and Indiana Jones. As Malin has mentioned, we’ve let him watch the first three Harry Potter movies. He won’t be allowed to watch the others until much since they get into PG-13 territory. He has yet to see an Indiana Jones movie, but still has managed to be completely fascinated with him. It’s really funny to hear him talk about it and mix up his characters, “I’m Anakin Jones!”

A recent favorite activity of Will’s is to play various games on the computer at Lego.com. They have games ranging from Lego Star Wars to Lego Indiana Jones and everything in between (Knights vs. Wizards, Robots and Spaceships, etc…). He would spend all day doing this if he could. We try to not let him though, interrupting his office potato habits by taking him to the pool, taking outside to play, or reading books to him.

Last weekend we were in Boston to visit my brother, Jake. We actually spent most of our time around Cambridge (which is where Jake lives) and slept in Woburn (a 15-minute drive from Cambridge) where the hotels are much, much cheaper. Malin has yet to download photos from her CompactFlash cards to the computer, so I’ll post again later with details and pics. (Hopefully, less than 4 weeks will go by this time).

Yesterday we spent time in town, going to a Japanese book store in Smyrna and then to Decatur to walk around/shop/eat. We got a chance to eat lunch at the 5th Earl Market, and decided that it is definitely a better destination for fancy sandwiches than Muss & Turner’s (no offense meant to Muss & Turner’s). It’s hard to compare them to Alon’s though because they are so different. Alon’s is much more of a market whereas 5th Earl Market (despite the name) is more of a restaurant (and thus more like Muss & Turner’s in that respect).

In any event, we split The Moat. It is a big ol’ BBQ sandwich that includes a “white” BBQ sauce. The white sauce is basically like the white sauce (aka yum-yum sauce) that is available at most Hibachi (Japanese steakhouse) restaurants. It is good and tasted good on the sandwich, but I still prefer coleslaw as a BBQ sandwich topper (call me old-fashioned, I guess).
