Movies, geeks, swimming, point charts and more.
I took my kids (3 youngest) to Shrek 3 on Saturday and to the aquatic center on Sunday. After being so busy with softball for so many weeks, it's hard to think of stuff to do when we have down time. My kids have been daycare kids from the beginning and thus, are used to being on the go and have a low threshold for boredom and sitting around at home.
Shrek 3 was OK but not as good as The Bridge to Terabithia (sp?) that we rented Friday night. Ohhh, I cried. I am not usually a very emotional person but when the girl died I felt so bad for her parents and for her friend. Excellent movie but I won't watch the whole thing again b/c I hate crying.
Swimming was fun. I actually got sunburned sitting under one of the blue canvases at the pool. I love it now that my kids are all old enough to go off on their own---gives me a chance to get some reading done.
My new laptop has been set up courtesy of the Geek Squad. How I wish I was the one that came up with that concept---he's probably a very rich 32 year old by now!!
Have any of you ever tried Jenny Craig's diet plan? Ray started a week ago and lost 6 pounds already---and he only wants to lose about 20.....I've got a little more than that to lose and am thinking of giving it a try.
The girls were driving me nuts this weekend so I began a new point sheet last night. Money for chores and good behavior. Money they can spend on school clothes, etc. I do really well w/these incentive plans for about 2 weeks and then it gets to be a pain to follow them but this time I'm making the girls more responsible for filling out their own stuff. Hopefully that'll work better.
Payten's in northern Minnesota for a week at Leech Lake w/a friend's family.
