You know how sometimes over long weekeneds some TV stations will run a marathon of a show? Well this past weekend VH1 had an 80's marathon. Now my hubby and I were both in high school during the 80's. We discovered this little trip down memory lane while playing flip the channels. Some songs we remembered and others we didn't. Most though made us say....hey I remember hearing that one while doing .........Or I was going to.....while hearing this one. Since it was 80 wonderful hours of 80's music our eldest child got to listen in on some of it one night. All is well, we are having a grand time listening to it and watching the videos, then we hear --- HEY, I like this song - they play it on the radio....I thought it was a new one. OR....You mean that band has been around that long?! Yeah...makes you feel real old real fast. OR......MOM DAD they had hair and clothes like that ?!PLEEEEAAAASE tell me you didn't look like that ?! No son, daddy didn't have frizzed out hair down his back nor did he wear spandex pants. Me, well I went between doing the rocker babe thing, Go Go thing and Madonna look. The look on his face!! LOL. It took a while to convince him that I did not dress like anyone in the videos. The poor child...hope I didn't scar him too bad.
Think I will go easy on him this weekend. He might not be able to take another scare like that. LOL

Do you hear that.....
That is the sound of silence with a muffled groan coming from me. I have just received this season's soccer schedule AND realized that yes, today is Tuesday - NOT Monday. Which means tomorrow is crazy day. At our school district the kids get out of school an hour early on Wednesdays so teachers can use that time for their meetings and training. It cuts down on teacher in-service days during the year- so they tell us. Wednesdays mean - Kyle rushes home from school, raids the fridge, starts and hopefully finishes homework, gathers soccer gear , gets to soccer for wam up at 4:50, leaves soccer a little early at about 6:30, eats supper in van on way to Boy Scouts, gets home just after 8:30 from that and then either hops into shower, inhales more food or collapses on his bed. This week he will need to leave soccer even earlier as he will be haivng his review board meeting at Boy Scouts - and has to be in uniform..... I pray to the highest being(s) that he will be somewhat sweet smelling for them. At least as sweet smelling as a pre-teen boy who has been running around the soccer field can smell. In a few weeks he will be having his awards ceramony - in uniform. Yeah, it will be on a Wednesday also. I think I shower and unrumpled uniform might hold out higher than practice that day.
Sooo looking at the soccer schedule at least this season we have all game son Saturdays. One of the them I have no flipping idea where it is located, and some of the teams are competion level teams - we are a rec level team - but a higher level one. Hmmm could make for an interesting season.
In other taterville news....the twins are still liking school so far. They have discovered the free breakfast in the cafeteria at school . This morning I was asked if I minded if they just ate in the cafeteria this morning. I sd no , but first you need to eat something here. That way I know you actually have food in your stomach. BIG sigh - oh right moooooom.
The garden is still growing good. We actually had some yellow watermelon from it the other day. Not bad. The tomatoes have been YUMMMMMO as has the corn and everything else.
Sunday we had some friends and neighbors over for a BBQ . Grilled up tons of food - once again I think I over did it - oh well. Most of the veggies we did were from the garden! A friend brought makings for smore's and recipes for making different kinds of smores using flavored marshmellows or candies. Such oooey goooey goodness. The kids all had fun doing various lawn games and flying kites. Poor little Megan was trying to fly her kite - a big gust of wind came up and looked like she was going to be carried away!
Hubby's business is busy and I'm trying to dig out my office and dreaming up creative projects to get that side of my brain going again.
Oops being called and need to go take a peek at the slow cooker - supper is getting all happy in it.
