And That’s….the Truth

Well so far so good. This weekend is actually looking up to be a pretty good weekend. I don’t have a whole lot work that needs to be done this weekend so I think I will actually get to spend most of it with the family. The only real plans that we have, is that we are going to the annual RV show this weekend. We normally go every year. It’s fun to look at all the different RV’s and campers. We can’t afford to buy and RV’s mind you, but we usually have a good time none the less. And the only other thing I really need to do this weekend is shop around for some new life insurance. Other than that, it looks like it is going to be a nice, relaxing weekend for all.

I have been to a lot of parties in my day, but one that I haven’t gone to and would like to would be an Oktoberfest party. These types of parties look like so much fun when I watch them on TV and I would love to receive some Oktoberfest Party Invitations to attend one and see what their like. While I was surfing the Internet the other night I ran across a site that sells Oktoberfest Invitations which got me to thinking. How much fun would that be to give out invitations Oktoberfest and have one of my own?? I think it would be a blast. Who knows, maybe one of these days I will purchase some party Oktoberfest invitations and have a little party of my own.

I can’t imagine knowing anybody who isn’t up for a party. The place where we take the kids camping is having their annual Mardi Gras pary and we have already received our Mardi Gras Invitations. We have never been invited to a Mardi Gras party, so we were quite happy to receive our Mardi Gras Party Invitations. I don’t know who was more excited about the invitations Mardi Gras the kids or my husband and I. But this really does sound like a good time so in a couple of weeks time we will be going to our first Mardi Gras party. I’ll be sure to let you all know how we make out.

Because I am a mother of three kids with two of them being boys, I am always checking out the latest and greatest in gift ideas. Well, I just found a product that I think would make an excellent gift for the two boys. They are airsoft pistols. Now one of my son’s is only eight, so if I were to purchase him Air Soft Pistols, he would only be able to play with them under close supervision. But even at his young age, I can just imagine all the fun he would have with pistol airsoft guns. He could even play airsoft pistols games with his brother. Now all I need is a reason to buy the boys this gift.

My husband has got to be my biggest kid. Last night he was surfing on the computer and seen that a guy had posted an ad about having a snowmobile for sale. Well…he got right on the phone and called him. He wasn’t home so his wife said she would get him to call him back. Well he got the phone call, hopped right in the car and headed down to look at the machine. It was no great surprise when he came back with a snowmobile. I don’t know who was more excited about this purchase. My husband or my son?! But the two of them plan on heading out on it as soon as my husband gets home from work tonight.

I love this time of year! I can keep secrets from my husband and there is not a darn thing he can do about it. Well I have a huge secret right now and I’m just dyeing to share it with someone. So you guys will get to be in on my little secret. Well the secret is, I went out and purchased my husband a brand new pop up tv for Christmas. And because he’s so darn nosy I have it stored over at the neighbors. He is going to be so…surprised this upcoming Christmas. In 14 years I’ve never bought him something like this so that’s what makes this secret all the sweeter. So please don’t tell my secret to my husband and I’ll be sure to let you all know his reaction when he finally gets to open his gift this Christmas.

Earlier today I was talking to one of my co-workers on the phone. She reminded me that Thanksgiving isn’t that far away. Three weeks actually. Then she started talking about what days she wanted off during the holiday season. Well our official day for Thanksgiving is on Monday and that is not one of my required days to work, so I’m not working it. I will be too busy looking up Thanksgiving recipes to be able to make a feast for my family. This year I will need to be feeding 16 people, so me working that day is not an option. I think everyone at our work should get a least one of the days off for the holidays and my day off will be Monday.

Today is the kid’s final day of art camp for the summer season.  They were actually suppose to attend next week as well, but because of the low enrollment, the town decided to cancel for next week.  The kids were a little disappointed with this, but since they did get to attend for three weeks, they really haven’t complained too badly about this.

They had a blast during the three weeks that they were able to attend.  And their instructor was amazing.  My son is extremely shy but he took right to her which made his camp experience all the more enjoyable.  If they decide to offer this camp again next summer, I’m going to enroll the kids in at least a week.  They really did have fun, but their time has ended now.  Oh goody!  I get them home 24/7 for the next five weeks of summer.  LOL

Now that the weekend is finally here, the kids have been looking forward to another camping trip.  But, due to the weather, this is not going to happen.  I personally don’t think it’s a real big deal that we can’t go, but the kids are quite disappointed.  They really do look forward to these trips and usually have a great time when we go on them.  Oh well.  I suppose I can’t hope for sunshine every weekend now can I?  Well we will just have to find something else to do this weekend.  Maybe I could clean my house??  Yeah right!  That’s not going to happen.   But I’m sure we will have a good weekend anyway.

Although the first of the summer wasn’t very good for camping, I have to say that the last couple of weeks have been super.  We were able to get away again this weekend (that’s why there were no posts) and once again we all had a blast.  The kids were able to play at the playground, go down to the fish pond, go swimming and go to the drive in movies.  Not only are we having so much fun because of all the activities the kids get to be involved with while we are away, but also because of the brand new trailer that we purchased.  So we will be all keep our fingers crossed for another great weekend this upcoming weekend.  But if that doesn’t happen that will still be OK as there is still plenty of time left in the summer months to enjoy camping when we can.
