This weekend ended up being quite busy.
Early Friday evening we had a quiet night here. We had dinner and made a run to Wal-Mart. We took the kids to IL’s about 7 for them to spend the night. I headed to our church for the youth girls’ sleepover. I didn’t plan to stay all night but stayed until 12:30. We did a picture scavenger hunt around town and it turned out to be a blast. A few highlights included the kids teaching a stranger how to do the Ice Cream Dance, singing the National Anthem in front of a store, creating a pyramid in front of Starbucks, chasing down a teenage boy and claiming he was Zac Efron and getting his autograph and cramming 7 girls into a phone booth in a very busy location. I was never so happy to be old and the one taking the picture.
We came back to play a few games and then all tried to learn Miley Cyrus’ Hoedown Throwdown which was a HUGE FAIL. Even the girls that have danced for years didn’t seem to catch on quickly. I tried not to feel so old with girls that were born about the same time I started high school. The girls all played hide and seek in the dark around the church and then I was off when they started a movie.
Saturday morning I woke up and cleaned in preparation for middle/high school friends Michelle and Carmen to come eat lunch and visit. We went to a local restaurant and really had a great time catching up. It’s always so strange to me how you can go YEARS without seeing your best friends and pick up right where you left off.
Jake and Jill showed up right as Carmen and Michelle were leaving. They spent the evening with us in the pool. We had some pizza delivered and of course great conversation. Jill and I ended the evening by going to watch The Proposal. More on that in another post.
Sunday afternoon we spent Sunday dinner at Buca di Beppo’s with my dad and family. Great food as always. Yesterday we spent the afternoon in the pool before spending a nice evening at Scott’s sister’s.
To top the weekend off, I finished reading The Time Traveler’s Wife. Also saving that for another post.
Overall, a really busy but really good weekend.
I can’t even imagine where you would find a telephone booth now-a-days. Seems like most have been ripped out.
