The Weekend Review

How I wish Mondays would never come. We had another jam packed, fun weekend, even though the thermometer continued to read in the triple digits every day! Saturday morning we were up early and out on the boat, just the family, for tubing and wakeboarding. It was a little windy so the water was choppier than normal for the mornings, but we all still had a really good time. We came home from the boat and went to a school friend's birthday party. She had a waterslide and slip-n-slide set up in her backyard so again the girls were in their bathing suits and having a ball.
Sunday we got up early again and this time went on the boat with our friends Mindy, Sean, Delia and Charlie. All the girls went tubing and we even got Lauren and Delia to tubing with each other...without parents! We went very slow and they had a lot of fun. We finished up the morning swimming in the cove. That afternoon we ventured to find Lauren her kindergarten backpack and lunchbox. Too many choices but we finally agreed upon a Gap backpack with butterflies. We also had some Barnes and Noble gift cards to use, and purchased a handful of books for both the girls and me :-) Bill even snuck a book for himself on the pile. I went to bed early last night and ended up reading 150 pages of New Moon, the second book in the Twilight series. After B&N, we went looking for a new pair of sandals for Bill since the bottom sole was ripping away, and instead ended up getting Lauren 2 new pair of tennis shoes - one for now since she has grown out of all we had - and one for when school starts. She picked Nike because she said she pushes on the swoosh and it makes her run faster. Track star in the making.
Our final destination was Chuy's for a nice, cool dinner. The girls were fantastic since we usually sit outside where they can run around. It was still over a 100 at 5:30pm last night, so we opted for an inside table, and the girls were awesome.
All I can say is we need an extra day just to relax from the weekends!
