Weekend Whatnot
My son has been waiting for this day since last summer. It's Friday the 13th, and I guess he's intrigued with the idea that bad things are supposed to happen today. He won't even realize the date unless I remind him. It's apparently very difficult for him to look at the calendar on the wall of his room right next to his door. I might have to stage a few "accidents" and see how long it takes him to get a clue.
We've been watching the old 70's series, The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries, on DVD. I find these shows incredibly dated and hokey, but the kids love them. Good time for me to take a nap.
All my kids want to do with their summer vacation so far is read and play computer games. They don't want to help me hang drywall in the basement. I heard something about "fun" and "do what I want" and "relaxation." I don't know what those words and phrases mean. Must be a kid thing.
Sunday is Father's Day. If you happen to end up at Outback Steakhouse for dinner, they're offering dads a chance to win a $100 gift card for later use. Plus, when you eat there on Sunday, you'll get a $10 coupon good during another visit.
If you're staying home and grilling something on the BBQ, pay a visit to Betty Crocker's Great Grilling site for tips, recipes, and coupons.

Seth gets out of school today!
Chewbacca was robbed!
What a wookiee...
Reading and playing computer games!?! What happened to playing outdoors? When I was a kid you would have never caught me indoors during my summer break.
you should take up Geocaching....although reading isn't bad we often hit our limit of library books
ivegas, if our winter would ever end, that's where we'll all be -- outside! We had snow as recently as three days ago. Snow! In June!
Katey, guess what I bought my wife for our anniversary? A GPS unit! She's still figuring it out, but we should be geocaching very soon.
The kids don't want to help hang drywall? kids just can't appreciate real fun anymore, can they?
Personally, I always have great Friday the 13ths, but after hearing journalist Tim Russert died today, I'm not so sure about that...
Happy Father's Day Phil! My kids are suddenly so busy preparing the gifts for their dad..I wonder why they don't do all those when it was Mother's Day..must be a kids' things too..oh bother!
geocaching.com is where I go...TeamKautz....as for the area....there are some on Tubbs hill althouhg we have yet to get there...a fun one on the stage in CdA Park...but once you figure it out the ones like that are all easy. A really challenging one by the fire truck park "Grnadma Peacebow Fire Engine" I think is the title
Our British schools dont finish for another 5 1/2 weeks yet..... and then we only get 5 weeks off school for the summer lol....
A ladder fell on a black cat on Friday as it attempted to walk under it ;)

oh my good, if my kids wanted to spend the day reading, i would do the dry wall myself. As soon as I figured out what that was, of course.
Hey Phil... just wanted to wish you the best Father's Day ever!
Hope you had a great day!
Happy Happy Father's day to all!!!
Ours are in Sept.
I can NOT let Thing 4 see that video. It will be played on continual loop if I do...
