Weekend Ramblings

Sunday already? Where is the weekend going?!

Friday has vanished into the sands of time - I can't recall what we did! lol I do know that I sorted fall clothes to see what we already have and what we need. Oh, and the kids did a bunch of chores - the ones we usually do on Saturdays.

On Saturday morning, the kids tried on the sorted clothes. After lunch, we headed over to a friend's house. Her husband was hosting a gaming party - David participated in that - and the rest of us just visited and played the Wii off and on. We walked around the property and the kids caught several toads and frogs. Towards evening, we sat around a fire and chatted. Very very pleasant day! (THANKS SO MUCH for inviting us, S!)

Today we went to church and afterwards we had a short meeting for Financial Peace University. Bob and I will be taking that class on Wednesday nights. We're going to walk to two garage sales on our street and then head to the waterpark. It's sunny and 85 today! After that, we'll likely go out to visit Bob's parents as it is their 54th wedding anniversary today.

For Labor Day, we will be heading to the thrift store to take advantage of the 50% off clothing sale. A nearby town is having a festival this weekend and maybe we'll head over there and see what's going on. A used book sale at the library sounds tempting! We'll probably visit the waterpark one last time - Monday is the last day. And what else? No idea!

Can you believe summer is on its way out? It went far too fast!

We thought about camping this week Tues-Fri instead of starting school, but then I remembered - soccer. Oh yeah, I have to hold soccer practice. Yippee. But the weather is going to be soooo NICE. But then again, responsibility is a valuable trait as well. Sigh.

Tonight, I'll be posting my August reads over at Mirkwood - quite a pile of books this month! Not quite done with my latest Austen read. Ok, ok, I'm not even halfway. But that's not a problem as there are still a few weeks until our book club meeting.

I also have watched movies I'd like to review - Attila, The Last Legion and Catch and Release. I have a few more movies here to watch - some Horatio Hornblower DVDs, Amazing Grace (already watched once around Christmastime, but would like to see again, paying more attention, lol), and Casino Royale (have seen 2 or 3 times, but have had a hankering to see me some more James Bond!).

Movies the kids have here to watch: Nanny McPhee, Short Circuit, Thunderbirds.

What's Up

We're off to look at some campers tonight! Hoping to have one purchased by August 15th. Bob also has to get a hitch on our minivan so we can pull the camper.

We spent the day at the lake with homeschool friends. It was a lovely day with blue skies and not very hot, at just around 80 degrees. The kids had a blast!

I am ALMOST done with Breaking Dawn - just about 100 pages left. Will finish it tonight.

Co-op registration is tomorrow. Will post more about that on my Cornerstone blog. (link in sidebar)

I have posted some stuff at Mirkwood lately too and more will be coming. (link in sidebar)

Just now it rained a little bit. The sun was shining and it was raining on one side of our house and not on the other. Very strange! lol

Mamma Mia (2008)

My reaction to Mamma Mia is up over at Mirkwood Reflections. You can watch the trailer there too.

February Reads

Oh wow! Internet at the speed of light. Ooooooh, I'm loving it.

Posted my February reads over at Mirkwood Reflections. I DARE YOU to go and leave me a comment. DOUBLE DARE! Come on, don't be a chicken!!!

I am SOOO very tired. I'd like to stay up and play on the internet, but my head is aching from exhaustion and I think I'm going to go to sleep.

Tomorrow I HOPE to go see a movie with a friend. I told her to pick it and tell me when to be there.
