Then Saturday I rode along with my church's praise band to Parma, Ohio. You can read more about that here, if you are curious. It was a fun day. My grandma offered to keep the boy for us. I was going to take the girls along with us. Then my dad said he wanted to keep them Saturday and take them to a movie and on a bike ride. He is having surgery on Tuesday for a hernia, and won't be able to do that for a little while. So, it worked out nicely. Guru and I were able to take the 2+ hour drive (each way) alone. We listened to comedy cd's on the way there, and Harry Potter book 2 on the way home.
Yesterday was Father's Day, of course. Guru and I were both on the praise band/team and had to be at church for both services. After church, we went to lunch with my dad, my mom's parents, and G and Trinity and their little.
After lunch, we came home and the boys took a nap while the girls played. I went to JCPenney's outlet and found 2 tables that I liked, so I bought them. One of them is an end table, so we could get rid of the big rubbermaid tub full of the girls' barbies we had been using. The other is just a decorative table that ended up not even fitting where I intended it to go. I ended up putting it at the bottom of the stairs and it looks good there, so I'm going to keep it and find something else for the other spot. Here they are:
Last night, while guru finished up his homework for this week, I watched In Her Shoes. It was just ok.
Anywho, that pretty much sums up my weekend. How about you? Do anything fun for Father's day?

In Her Shoes wasn't bad. A little chick flick-y, but it fell into the "personal transformation" category (Cameron Diaz' character), so I liked it.
The tables are very nice. I'm glad you got a good deal on them and you are right, they beat their Rubbermaid predecessor hands down!
Sounds like your alone time was good, too. We don't get that but maybe once or twice a year, so it was awesome to have that chance with her. Weird thing, though, we didn't know what to talk about.
Yeah, guru and I have the same problem. When we actaully get time to just talk, we can't think of anything to say. That's why we listened to cd's.
I think it's just one of those things that happens after you've been married a while.
It's still nice to just be able to be together without having to listen to screaming children, or break up fights, or listen to kiddie music.
Awww, no mention of grand-dad's shower at the restaurant...poor guy!!!
Btw, I love the tables! Very nice!
Oh yeah, I forgot. The waitress spilled a pitcher of iced tea down his back at the restaurant. "Happy Father's Day!" At least they got a free meal out of it!
Though, I must say, I would have been livid if I was the one that got "showered".
dude, sorry to be the bearer of an arguement, but praise and worship and Harry Potter don't mix. Isn't there some rule against those books at the baptist church? sing to jesus, then listen to satan dress up as a kid's book. Not cool man.
Naw! It's fiction. I like the HP stories and I'm not the only christian that does. They are fun and entertaining.
No rule against them. The Baptist church also boycotted Disney, but I didn't stop buying/watching Disney movies.
It's all in good fun.
It is true that there is an element of magic in HP books, but it is merely the backdrop to the story, which is a classic one of good vs. evil. And guess, what... good always wins.
Bad is never put forward as a good thing.
Even the Chronicles of Narnia series has elements of magic in it, but because it contains Christian themes, that is overlooked.
You can't just take what is spoonfed to you, you have to ask what is the ultimate meaning behind things and I don't think Harry Potter is about worshipping Satan.
If you ever read the books, I think that you would know that.
Anon: I would also read this link. I happened upon this since I last commented.
