Weekend Plans
Weekends fly by way too fast don’t they? I know it’s only Saturday morning, but the thought that the weekend ends tomorrow is fairly depressing. I thought I’d post an update here for my 2 readers as to what me and the boys will be up to this weekend.
Last night was junk food and movie night. After I picked them up from camp, we came straight home for the festivities. They were already hungry so I let them start their appetizer of Dorito’s. While they were eating those, I warmed up the second course by microwaving some nacho cheese for some nachos. They were pretty hesitant to try it as they were afraid it would be too spicy. Luckily, I had the solution to that; dip the tortillas in some sour cream first then into the cheese. They seemed to really like that as we went through the first bowl of cheese in nothing flat. While bowl number 2 of the cheese was warming, I started the oven to get the pizza rolls going. We started to get full of the nachos right about the time the pizza rolls were done so we moved on to the 3rd course. I did mention that this was a movie night too right; well, we started off by finishing The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian; which we had started watching earlier in the week. After that movie was over, we watched Snow Buddies, which was more entertaining than I expected. After Snow buddies, they wanted to watch Twilight again. Somewhere in the middle of Snow Buddies, we moved on the the 4th and final course of ice cream. I figured they couldn’t possibly eat too much more so I gave each of them only 1 scoop. Boy was I wrong. They had that scoop gone before I got back to the couch with my bowl. The second bowl of ice cream started to take its toll on my stomach so I made that be the last course of dinner for the night. We made it about half way through Twilight before they got tired and were ready for bed. Maybe we will finish it tonight.
Todays plans are kind of a hodge podge. I need to mow the lawn so i hope to get that out of the way about 9:30am. I was ready a couple hours ago, but I’m sure the neighbors wouldn’t appreciate the lawn mower at 5am. Parker has been asking me to take him out to eat at Hooters for a week now, so today will probably be the day. I’ve got a list of things I need to pick up at WalMart, so we’ll swing by there after lunch. Parker and Casey still have some report card money burning a hole in their pocket, so a trip to Toys R Us may be in order for today as well. All that should fill up today, but if there is still time and the weather holds out, I may try to squeeze in a bike ride to the park. That reminds me, I still need to find a brake solution for Parker’s bike. There are no foot brakes and he’s not quite big/strong enough to properly use the hand brakes. I worry about him relying on putting his feet on the ground to slow down.
Tomorrow is the day I’m really looking forward to, but it is all dependent on there being no rain. I haven’t told the boys my plans for tomorrow yet in case the rain does come and we don’t get to go. The TT races are coming to Peoria this weekend and should be a blast. I’ve decided to not tell them the plan until we are pulling into the track and they see what is going on. I hope they like the surprise. They both enjoy watching the motorcycle races on TV. I just hope they don’t decide to participate in these races when they get older, I would be too worried that they would get injured. I’m really looking forward to this as I haven’t been to these races in about 10 years.
That should be a pretty full weekend, I hope we are able to do it all. I’m sure Monday will be here all too quickly.
