We started our weekend off with a very productive morning on Saturday! I was actually out of bed and cleaning the kitchen at 8:00 a.m.!! By the time Tim woke up I had finished the kitchen AND the living room! Tim agreed to swiffer the kitchen so I went about gathering up unwanted books for the bookthing (http://www.bookthing.org/) which is a place where people can go to get books for free. I took advantage of it all summer long and got tons of books for my classroom! After I gather up all of our books that needed a new home I cleaned up the bedroom. I still managed to get in a shower before it was time to leave for Frostburg!
We dropped the books off at the book thing and headed west! We made quite a few stops along the way including one McDonalds trip that took way too long (we didn't realize that Fruit and Yogurt Parfaits take an hour to make) We stopped at the outlets in Hagerstown because I wanted a pair of Crocs from the LL Bean store, but they didn't have them :( We made it to Frostburg before dark and had a wonderful dinner of chicken and rice pilaf! The boys spent most of the night playing the Wii. I am glad that Andrew got to try out so many games.... I am pretty sure he found a few that he liked. Laura and I spent the evening staring at Miss Lucy and doing other assorted things...
On Sunday we went to mass and then headed over to the mall. We had really good pizza and the place had good iced tea so I was very content. I found Crocs at hallmark but thought they were uncomfortable and refused to buy them. I also looked for a CD at FYE but the didn't have it :( I was very frustrated so Tim bought me over priced lotion from Bath & Body Works. After that we went to Blockbuster and rented movies. We rented Alpha Dog (didn't get to watch it...see Laura's blog for a review!), Fast and the Furious 3, and some other movie... I'll try to fill the name in later.
Laura & the boys watched the movie that was about someone pretending to be a reporter from Kasikstan. He was doing anything and everything that was socially or culturally inappropriate in order to be funny. I didn't watch this one.... I read a Parents magazine and then I did the dishes!
After that we went to this really yummy steakhouse for dinner. I had pulled pork BBQ and it was wonderful!! We got to ride in the Saturn with Lucy which was very amusing... I don't think she is used to company in the back seat!
After dinner the boys and I watched Fast and the Furious 3 while Lucy and her mama headed to bed. I actually like the movie! It was better than the second movie and the drifting was actually pretty cool to watch! After the movie we went to bed because it was late and we were all very sleepy!
We slept in a bit on Monday and then headed home. We stopped in Hagerstown again. We went to Pacific Sunwear, Motherhood, Adidas, Puma, and quite a few other stores. We didn't really buy that much though... we got Christian a pair of pants, Tim a pair of sandals, and Tim a pair of socks (he was trying on sneakers!) I didn't find anything but Tim didn't seem to think this was a problem since I always find something to buy! He is probably right....
I took a nap when we got home and Tim played some Zelda on the Wii. We went to the grocery store and ordered Pizza Hut for dinner. We rented Over the Hedge from RedBox and it was really funny and very cute! I also got to watch an episode of Grey's Anatomy on my laptop. I only have two more episodes to watch and I will have seen the whole season. So don't spoil it for me... I am almost there! Then it was time for bed because the next day was back to work.....
