Weekend Recap

Dear James, Daniel and Emily

Here is the weekend recap (a day late due to a day away from the PC). Had a 3 day weekend due to James' first day of school and taking Daniel to the eye Dr. So it was a good weekend overall, wasn't quite as productive as it could have been due to the weather. But it was good over all.

First, I really enjoyed the Star Wars Movie Friday night, it was everything I hoped for. It was enjoyable, with plenty of action and excitement, and some cool visuals. James really liked it, and even Daniel seemed to enjoy it afterwards. All James could talk about the rest of the weekend was seeing it again, and when will it come out on video? I think it is a worth while addition to the canon, and in some ways better than the prequels, well at least better than number 2.

Saturday I didn't get a lot done,the weather kind of socked us inside so I just relaxed most of the day, didn't try and do anything dramatic. Just tried to keep the house from being destroyed, and watched the US men's basketball team destroy Spain.

Sunday we did our big grocery store trip, and then Kim went into work for the afternoon. I got the boys ready for school, got the house ready for school. Again, no big projects.

Monday James went into school, he was happy with it, I think he was glad to be back in school. We took Daniel to the Eye Dr. all good news this year. Then went to lunch and home for project time. I got the yard trimmed and mowed, which was a lot of work. Then we moved the big deep freeze in the laundry room, which involved some sawing and hammering, and then we got the toy boxes to just about the point where we can paint them and put them back together for the boys. And the only problem was that the plug one the freezer gave up the ghost, so now I will have to re-wire it, and we were fortunate we still had the little freezer around to throw stuff in.

Last night we went to a farewell party for Alex, as he leaves today for college. It didn't really click with James until we were heading home what that meant, not that he sees that much of Alex, but he is very fond of him, and doesn't like the general idea that he won't be around. It was a good party, some excellent food, and the boys enjoyed themselves.
