Weekends come ... weekends go ...





All too quick it is Sunday when Friday was just here...
Fairly busy weekend ... birthday party , More School shopping ( will it ever end ? )..
A little mom shopping ...and a trip to a mock Drive in last night.
I don't think that many drive-in's actually exist anymore. Jakob and Sophia had no idea what one was. I said Drive-In and they thought that I was talking about Burger-king or Wendy's. So that defiantly aged me a bit.
I remember going to the drive-in with my dad and my brother Johnny as kids. You parked next to those speakers that you could pull into your truck and watch your movie all cramped into the front seat :) The previews consisted of the dancing popcorn, soda and candies running across the screen ... { sigh } now I feel really dated:)
So last night we went to see Hotel For Dogs on a huge outdoor screen with friends. We brought a big blanket and popcorn and camped out in the summer night air.
I was relieved that it cooled down a bit ... Silas and I are not fans of the humid air. Everyone else could care less though. It was fun ... lots of people and a really cute movie. Best part besides being together was - It was FREE:) No frills or need for cash on entertainment .. love it. The kids were happy and didn't even know the difference! Good Bye weekend .... Monday is on the way!

Moments Today ..

If you are anything like me .. or have a household like mine you would know that no day begins quietly .. smoothly or without incident.
As a mom of three .. Not to mention being a part time parent to my significant other ... you have to be prepared for some excitment in your day.
We were forced into life this morning at 6:12 am by Fisher. He is not one of the two legged children .. but the wildest of the two four legged ones. He was up .. and something had him perplexed.. He was barking .. howling and bouncing his kennel all over my artroom floor.
" are you kidding me " I was thinking .. hair straight up ..heart pounding and all of a sudden realizing I was desperate need of a drink of water. So down the stairs i went to see what this wild animal could be so upset about. I checked the door first .. no one there. I went in to the room and found him frantly barking at .. himself .. yes , I apparently forgot to replace one of my large mirrors when I was moving things around.
I stood there him looking at me then his reflection and back at me .... Yes Fisher .. This is a very embarressing moment for you . He was now wagging his tail all chipper and happy to see me .. Great , I'm up.
I let him outside and turn around to find the three two legged wonders staring at me ..
" So .. mom , What's for Breakfast ?"
