Why do three-day weekends fly by even faster than two-day weekends? Enquiring minds want to know.
We hit the public pool on Friday, had the guys over for dinner (and a Frisbee tournament) on Saturday after they spent the afternoon golfing, and lazed about yesterday trying to recover.By 'recover' I mean 'drink far too much Diet Pepsi in order to stay awake and running on Sunday.' Which means I slept horribly last night and am in an even worse position this morning. So much for my plan.
The kids were difficult to get going this morning, too. Partly on account of the late nights they have been putting in lately. We let them stay up a bit on Saturday when we had company, and I think they have taken that as free reign to stay up every night.
At least, Mallory has. She was up til 10 last night, singing away. I'm sure that comes as no surprise though, right?
We let them eat out on the patio with the guys - they very much enjoy being part of the action.
There were a few near-misses, but nobody got clobbered in the head with a Frisbee.
Hey, did you know the Space Shuttle is supposed to launch tonight?
*If* it does - the launch has been scrubbed 4 times already on account of the weather, so I am not holding my breath - and you live in the same general vicinity as me, then you can see it in orbit, too. The earth is at the right angle, or some such thing.
In fact, the shuttle will be docking at the ISS, and as it approaches the ISS you'll be able to see it chasing the ISS across the sky. This I have to see. The link I posted a few days ago gives all the relevant dates and times, but they are all subject to change based on when the thing actually blasts off. There might be a few late nights ahead of me this week if it all syncs up, but they will be worth it. It sounds like it would be pretty neat to see.

Why drive to Blenhiem when there is a private pool just ready for visitors a short bike ride down the street?
Next time we're in Blenheim visiting Daryl's parents we'll have to arrange to stop by and see (meet) your kiddos. I haven't seen Liam since he was teeny-tiny and I haven't had the priveledge of meeting Miss. Mallory yet.
Bet you're all getting excited for next weekend! I'm so looking forward to seeing LOTS of pictures! Katrina is going to make a beautiful bride! I hope you all have a lovely time and Mallory has a great time being a flower girl.
Sounds good, Ainsley!
Megan - we actually went to the Jaycee Pool - not as far of a drive :) and they also have the great wade-in end that is perfect for little kiddos. I did not realize the MacBarr Waters are open to the public. We will have to take you up on that sometime. :) Our new south side proximity will come in handy!
PS Ainsley - I registered on your wedding site and seem to have lost the email with my account ID. You don't have access to that kind of thing, do you? I'm guessing I'll need to set up a new account and then request access from you.
It goes with out an invite. YOu are welcome at all times!
The website is pretty primative, and only tells me that someone has requested a peek at the site and to yay or nay them. I haven't seen one come from you yet, so I don't have the email address in the list it creates. Sorry! I'll keep my eyes peeled for your request though.
