The time between Friday afternoon and Monday morning went unusually fast. After work I fetched the little guy from after school care and met up with the rest of the family at the elementary school. They were having a fundraiser for St. Jude's Hospital. The local Chili's donated burgers and franks, local parents donated desserts, a supermarket donated the drinks, and one of our gym teachers entertained us with his rock band. A fun time was had by all, but as soon as we met up with hubby and the other two kids, they took off to go on an evening fishing trip. They caught seven large weakfish (yum) but of course didn't arrive home 'til 12:30AM.
And now...we left the house shortly after 8AM Saturday to go to the New York Renaissance Faire in Tuxedo, NY (a.k.a. Sterling Forest ski resort). It's not a terribly long drive for Lawn Guylanders and it's an awful lot of fun. Expensive day to be sure, but worth it. They are there weekends from the end of July through 2/3 of September. This was their last weekend this year. Son #2 already had a Renaissance outfit, and we bought an outfit for Son #1. One year we might get the dad to do a warrior kind of outfit. Rumor has it that the mom makes an attractive looking wench. I might have to post some pictures after I load them from the camera. We stayed late to watch the end of the joust, so didn't arrive home 'til almost 9:00.
Sunday was filled with chores and errands, basically everything I would have spread out between two days on an ordinary weekend. Many loads of laundry squeezed in between a supermarket trip, a COSTCO run, a soccer game out east, and meals. Dinner was very good, actually. Hubby barbecued some of the fish they caught, and then we mixed it up with a pot of whole wheat spaghetti and tomato based sauce. All three kids liked it (somehow that makes it taste better to Mommy).
