Sunday Grace

Saturday night Jon and I decided it was time for a little date with mommy/daddy night. My handsome son asked me to take him out and the princesses left with the king. It was great fun for me as I don't get to spend much time with Wilson anymore, just the two of us. He chose to dine at his favorite restaurant (Not McDonald's, phew!) and had a blast playing songs on the jukebox. We headed for the dreaded mall to make one stop for church shoes and he decided he wanted to play with puppies at the pet store (that's my boy!). We spent 30 minutes playing with the sweetest Lhasa apso (sp?) that looked exactly like a dust mop and a lot like Chaya when she was a pup. It was hard for both of us to let him go back, but that $650 price tag made it easier (you can breathe now, mom. I know you were just having a fit over the germs in that store and the thought of playing with a pet store puppy! LOL). Then we headed to Chuck E Cheese (ugh) for just a few games (not before I swung thru Starbucks) and our date concluded with a trip to Walmart to pick out a board game to be played when we returned home.

When we arrived home the girls and the king were snoozing in the castle. They were exhausted from their date as well. They had been to dinner, played games, too and then rented a movie and piled on the couch to watch it together. It must have been a slow one, because they were all out cold and it was only 9pm. Needless to say, Wil and I played our new game all alone. He says his best moment was just playing with that little dog...and it was free (as long as you don't fall in love). Who knew?

Precious.

Sunday morning we woke up late and decided to take advantage of the day, since we had already missed the early service at church.

We grabbed a picnic lunch and headed to one of the parks we have been wanting to visit. This one had a disc golf course and we thought that would be a neat adventure. I scrambled to find all of the frisbees that were collecting in the garage and came up with two. Nothing like rotating turns on a disc golf course. The kids really liked it and were quite skilled at zinging that frisbee with ease.

This was an easy one. At least #9 showed a straight shot, most of the others were much tougher. I guess like anything else there are people out there who take this very seriously.

First time kite flyer. This was the best Dollar General Dragon kite I have ever seen. It was perfect and we had such a blast flying it and taking turns crashing it to the ground. The trees were tricky, too :-) Is it sad that we have lived near the beach for over a year and this is the first kite my kids have flown? Life just gets away from you, doesn't it?
