Nonsense From Wonderland

Daddy & His Boys on His 34th Bday

I am enjoying this weekend to the fullest.  It’s nice to have Jason home for the whole thing, since he was gone so many weekends this summer.  Yesterday was Jason’s 34th birthday.  I think he had a nice day.  Since the boys have overlapping lunch times at school, Jason brought them lunch.  I got to see him, but didn’t get to visit, since I was on lunchroom duty!  For his gifts I got him the book Feasting on Asphalt: The River Run, by Alton Brown; Jimmy Buffett’s DVD of his concert at Wrigley Field; and Peyton picked MX vs. ATV for his PSP.  Peyton has the same game, and he wanted Jason to have it so they could play against each other!  My parents got him a Havoc Heli Stinger remote control copter.

This morning we kind of lazed around for a bit, then got dressed to head to Ft. Collins/Loveland.  We went to the Thunder in the Rockies rally to look for a jacket, but it was a bust, and other than seeing the cool dirt bike jumps and the ball of death, it was a waste of $30 to get in.  I seriously doubt we will go back, since we went last year too and thought it was lame.  Poor Jason is still on the hunt for a decent jacket.  Lunch was Buffalo Wild Wings.  I just LOVE that place, and always get the same thing–boneless wings, half in parmesan garlic, half in Caribbean jerk.  I eat half of them, then have the rest cold for lunch the next day.  After lunch we went shopping at Old Navy.  Jason was extremely wonderful and generous, giving me a big shopping spree.  He spoiled me rotten, to put it mildly : ).  I needed some clothes for work, and he was actually picking out things he liked!  Other than one shirt at Target, he picked everything else there.  Usually when I shop, the boys and he are off somewhere else!  They sat in the dressing room w/me giving me opinions.  We went to Target after that, and I got even more stuff!  My take on the day included 3 pairs of pants, 3 camis, black silky type shirt, thin black v-neck sweater, 2 cardigans, 2 dresses, 2 skirts, hooded shirt, and 2 pairs of black shoes.  Can’t wait to wear some of the new stuff next week!  We ran to Whole Foods Market on the way out of town, and got some “Amadeus” cheese.  We have no clue what it will be like, but it looked good!  Got home around 7 I think, and we are beat!  Just watching tv, playing online, and waiting for bedtime. 

Tomorrow I have a honey-do list that I hope will get completed.  We have a sprinkler head that needs replaced, drain that needs snaked, board to fix on the fence, lattice to fix on the deck, and wire to put up on the fence, to keep the dog from digging through to the neighbors!  At least I think we will still do the wire.  Today we put some big rocks in the holes where he dug, and he didn’t appear to dig anywhere else.  I need to do first of the month grocery shopping, and run by the library.  I have The Host on hold, and a book for Peyton.  As far as I know, we have no plans for Monday yet.  I would like to ride the motorcycles to the library.  I haven’t been on a ride since the boys got back, and I’m missing it.  Jason took my bike out yesterday, since I hadn’t even started it for 2 weeks, and put fresh gas in it.  It may not be much longer before I start shopping for my Harley!!! 

Here is the pic from the first day of school, since I couldn’t get it to upload the other day.
