What A Fun Weekend!

Posted by: beaner927 on: June 18, 2007

Friday started off great – Dwight & I went on a double-date with our Youth Minister & his girlfriend (a good friend who is also in our Small Group). After a great meal & conversation, including one on the symbolism of Pan’s Labyrinth, we headed back to our house to play Monopoly. (The Star Wars version!) I am happy to report that…..I kicked booty!!! This is due to my hard-bargaining & ability to nab all the railroads (Podracers, in the SW version.) We had a great time – Jar & Col are really fun to be around.

Saturday, our family overdid it a little. Dwight went off golfing with the Men’s Ministry & the kids put on a Limeade stand with the neighbor girls. The Limeade wasn’t bad, considering I squeezed the limes by hand! Time to buy an electric juicer!!! Then we headed off to the pool & then went shopping for Dwight’s Father’s Day gift. He got a disc golf bag & 2 new discs. (This is his newest hobby/passion/sport.) Disc Golf is actually pretty fun & a LOT cheaper than regular golf, since the courses are FREE to play on & it takes a lot less time too. Saturday night Dwight & I played some World of Warcraft together (it’s a computer game.) All in all, a fun, but long day.

Sunday, after church, we came home & had lunch/rested & then we had to go pick up Dwight’s mom from the airport. Actually, the kids & I went to get her while Dwight stayed home & napped. Just another little Father’s Day gift! Really, he pulled a muscle in his neck & was knocked out w/some Advil. Then it was time for dinner w/Dwight’s dad. Dwight BBQ’d T-Bone steaks to perfection! YUMMY!!! The rest of the night we just rested!

This morning, the kids & I went on a berry hunt. We picked a HUGE bowl full of Black Raspberries – they are so sweet! Now I have to find some recipes – got any good ones? It’s gonna be another fun-filled, busy week. The Relay For Life is this Friday & Saturday – we’re praying that it cools down a bit. I don’t think its gonna be much fun if we’re walking around the track in 90+ degree heat!!! Have a good week Blog Family!

Glad you had a good, albeit busy, weekend!

Sounds like a fun weekend. I should have known you would have a Star Wars version of Monopoly!

Your statue of David magnet story cracks me up. Where in the world did you find the magnet? …I’m afraid of what my kids would do with that one!
