When the hubby is away....

When my husband goes out of town, more often then not we are stuck at home with nothing to do. This time around I decided to change things up a bit. So the night he left for his canoe trip on lake powell we had a single mom friend of mine and her 4 kids come over for a campfire and sleepover! It was fun, way to hot for a campfire, but still seriously fun...and a bit crazy with 8 kids running around! And when we made popcorn for everyone, I had to bust out my super giant size bowl and my friends eyes were huge! She had never seen a bowl so incredibly big lol. We played disney scene it, and the boys ran around like banshee's and we just plain had fun. Today the kids and I are skipping town to go visit my favorite mechanics(my brother and dad) and while I wish I could say that its only because I want so desperately to spend time with them, I must admit that its at least 3/4 because my car is being problematic...and the aforementioned spouse has little to no time(or desire, despite the know-how)to delve into it and fix the confounded thing. Then on Saturday we've got Bountiful Baskets and the Harry Potter trivia contest. I happen to belong to the reigning champion team, so I have a 2 year title to defend, I'm hoping for a three year streak, but just playing and having some Harry Potter fun is plenty. So at least this time around we aren't missing Cory too badly. Sure hope that man is having fun!
