Friday afternoon the kids and I are going down to visit my dad in the nursing home. He is doing a bit better in this setting, despite a few falls. Thankfully, he was not hurt. I am thankful he is in a place where he is safe and sound. After our visit, I am taking the kids to our favorite quick dinner spot...Taco Bell! Have you tried the Limeade Sparkler yet? You must.
Saturday is our special day, and as such I plan on doing nothing. That is until I spot some random thing that needs straightened, or organized, or cleaned. OCD is such a joy... We are attending early evening Mass and then Steve and I have a date night planned! Without kids! Eeek! Having kids far apart in age bonus: free babysitters! We ordered some pizza kits that are arriving Saturday, so the kids will have those and some fun free time while Steve and I go out to eat and pretend that we are not wondering what the kids are doing. And there we go...another Brady Bunch episode reference...remember the one where Greg and Marcia were babysitting and Cindy had the sniffles? Oh...sorry...there I go again...
Sunday is happily free. Free from anything. Our first Sunday of the summer with no place to be and nothing to do. I think I will have some pancakes and fresh fruit for brunch and possibly some sloppy joes for dinner. In between...summer fun...playing outside, watching old movies, sitting on the porch. And that my friends is what we have planned for this summer weekend. I hope yours is happy and sunny and yummy, whatever your plans may be. Thanks for stopping by! : )
Happy Anniversary Steve! : )
It's the funniest thing...the older I get, the blonder my hair gets...hmmmm.
What do you do when your hubby surprises you with 2 baskets of these beauties?
Make strawberry pie, of course...
and strawberry muffins too!
All set for our Monsters University premiere party last weekend...
just some simple table decorations, but the kids thought it was so neat!
All ready to see the movie...and it was great!
Check out this parade that passed through our TV room this week. : )
My little Flynn...

Things in common (are you getting tired of this game yet?): Taco Bell for quick dinners, built in babysitters, and OCD :)
ReplyDeleteLove the Monsters Premiere Party...so cute! And the little train that you caught running through your living room made me a little weepy for those days. We rarely have trains anywhere anymore. Love that you caught that little memory.
Happy Anniversary weekend. Hope you have a wonderful date night.
