Weekend Recap

I'll just drop you a vanilla weekend recap here today ... no interesting titles or anything ...

• Cyndie and Emma did the Girl Scouts camping trip on Friday night. Because of the cold and rain, the troop leaders decided not to go to the Girl Scouts camp (where they were required to sleep outside), and instead did the "camp out" in the gym at Woods School. They both had a good time, but were pretty pooped afterward (they didn't get to sleep until around midnight!).
• Tim and I had a fun night ourselves. We went bowling (at Timmy's request). I had my best ever game, bowling a 202! Thanks to Auntie Laura, we were able to bowl for free (yea MOPS coupons). We hit Culver's for dinner, and then watched a movie before bedtime.
• Saturday was fairly low key, until late afternoon. Then Laura and Gow and the girls came over. We fed the kids dinner, cooked our own dinner, and then turned on a movie so the adults could enjoy our meal of steak (with fresh guacamole), fresh rolls, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. After dinner, we put the kids to bed, the baby sitter came, and we headed out to see Iron Man 2. This was all part of a delayed birthday for me ... I wanted to see Iron Man 2 in the theaters.
• Sunday was, of course, Mother's day. We had a nice breakfast, then were very lazy. Cyndie took two naps, largely trying to catch up from her late night on Friday. The kids played pretty well, and we took a walk down to Lake Como to see if we could get Pepper to go in the water. He was pretty suspicious of it!
• After church, we went over to Laura and Gows for a light dinner (yummy stew), and then shipped the kids off to bed!

This week is TV turnoff week ... meaning no TV. Cyndie and I hope to get some finish up work done on the craft room and dining room. Then, starting Thursday, we'll have our pastoral candidate in town for the weekend, including speaking at the Sunday service. Since I've been the chair of the search team, I'll be amply busy.
