Mom came down to Longview last weekend to visit with grandma for the weekend. While she was here her car broke down and needed some warranty repairs. The car wasn't going to be ready until Thursday so mom headed back home on Monday evening with Ingrid and Karen taking her to Tacoma where she picked up dad's car and drove it home ( Read more... )

The plan for today was to head to a restaurant called Salvador Molly's and try out their Habanero Fritter challenge. Chris and I have been talking about this since he saw it on the show "Man vs Food" on the Food Network. Naturally Tyler came along to try the challenge too ( Read more... )

I wasn't up too early today because I knew that there was no rush to getting going. I was up and ready by 10:30 though, because there's just no stalling when you're excited. XD

This day should have gone better than it did… at first. My plans were to have lunch out with a co-worker and then dinner with grandma. Well the lunch plans got messed up because the co-worker, Rich, had to load up a shipment before lunch. That dragged on until after 1pm. We were already told that we would be leaving at 2pm and I had decided not ( Read more... )

Given that it was the weekend and I was on vacation I didn't really get up very early today, around 10am. I was even slower to get going. I put off the shower until everyone else had taken theirs so I could have some time online. This took getting ready until past noon. -_- Erik headed out to work at 10am and I thanked him for letting us stay ( Read more... )

I got off work today at 4:30, but didn't head straight home. Chris had asked for a ride somewhere the day before and I hadn't been able to take him. I normally wouldn't have offered to take anyone anywhere on a day I was leaving town like this but I was kind of lackadaisical about this trip anyway given that my parent's weren't even going to be ( Read more... )

My son is a big fan of this movie and when he found out that the local Theater Pub was going to be showing it on Halloween he asked if he could go. Originally it was supposed to be with his friends but they ended up backing out on him. My daughter wanted to go too so I had to be there to chaperone. Because I knew he had been to a live showing ( Read more... )

Chris messaged me today asking if "you and yours" wanted to go out to dinner because he needed to get out of the house. I found it ironic that I had just been out to dinner a number of times over the last weekend but was up for that. I messaged him back to see if he only expected Bo and I or if the kids could come too. He was fine with whomever ( Read more... )

The plan for PJs birthday was to gather the siblings and their significant others together and go to Kennedy School McMenamins for the night. Since that wouldn't work for the kids and Grandma we decided to have a birthday celebration dinner tonight as well ( Read more... )

I was up a little earlier today but not by much. I made sure that I got ready for the day before doing anything else so I didn't get behind for the day. I got online for a while then around noon Bo and I headed out to Arctic Circle for one last lunch there before they closed for good ( Read more... )
