Weekend Recap

I have a feeling that hanging out with Thomas and Lara every weekend, plus neither Matt nor I having to work, will make weekend posts a rare occurrence. A regular weekend recap, I believe, should be in order in that case! So let us make a tradition of it, shan't we?

(Who doesn't love the word shan't...makes me feel like this

When more than likely I actually look like this

Is anyone else proud that I remembered the end parenthesis in that long winded explanation? Comment and let me know.

Okay so Saturday was a looooong day. Matthew and I foolishly thought that trying to do everything all at once would somehow make the day more fun. It didn't, really. But here's how it went down.

Everyone piled into MY car with my favorite chauffeur, Mr. McCaslin, at the wheel to head to Dyersburg. We went to Walmart for a few items, such as a coat rack and a vaccuum filter. Good times were had by all, and Matt got his haircut! Now he looks, well, just as wonderful as he always has. It must be nice for him to be so handsome all the time.

Stop Numero Dos was Matt's work, where he broke into the shop inconspicuously - or just went in the front door and opened the shop door for himself - to get some tools to bring home for working on the Datsun over the weekend. After that was finished, we drove thru Chick-fil-a for lunch and began our drive to Jackson. All this driving DID get old by the end of the day, before you ask ;). It was a good time to find out that Thomas and Lara had memorized the words to "Oh Where is My Hairbrush" and "C is for Cookie," both of which I had on a mix CD for just such car rides. I'm so proud, two classic songs have been planted in the heads of my stepbabies. :) That's what I call a successful day.

 Where was I? We've made it to Jackson by now for Carson's bowling party! We had lots of fun bowling with all of Carson's family and friends. He's a pretty popular 7 year old!

It was fun to hang out with the Cool Crew all day long.

 I bowled miserably, as usual. Got the lowest score but one of the bunch. Thomas and Lara were very very tired by the end of it all and struggled to keep their enthusiasm up through the whole party. Needless to say, their eyes were shut by the time we got out of Jackson.

Then we came on home and had some more resting time and started to pull apart the car! It's looking...well, not good. It looks like a car that doesn't have anything in it :P And that was our Saturday, folks. Sunday was typical of every other Sunday: church, short hanging out with Thomas and Lara before they went to Mommy's house, then messed with the car some more and Top Gear time with me and Daddy. This is what we do; we're very exciting people.

That's all folks!
