It is the end of day 1 of vacation with my 2 sons. It was a busy day. We got up went to the free movies at the Regal in Westminster and saw Doogal. Not a bad movie, but Reed was not very cooperative. We lost one of Tyler's number cars luckily he was OK with the fact that his brother lost it. We did get the movie worker to turn on the lights and we walked the theater looking for it. We went with Jo Ann and Levi. Tyler wanted popcorn so I went out and purchased 2 kid packs (pop corn, drink, and skittles) and a small popcorn all for a total of $15.50. What a rip off for popcorn. At least the movie was free.
Once we left the movie we had lunch at Pizza Hut. We had a terrible waitress that once she took your order and delivered your food and drinks she was done with us. She served a table right next to us and didn't even make eye contact or ask us if we needed anything. She gave us our check when she delivered the pizza. I had to say excuse me to get her attention so I could have a Diet Pepsi refill. Jo Ann bought lunch which was very nice of her.
After leaving Pizza Hut Jo Ann wanted to show me the house that Tindy and her husband bought so we drove through her neighborhood and found her house. It was a nice looking house from the outside, but it was in a neighborhood where all the houses look the same and it didn't look like there was a decent size yard for playing in. So I wasn't real impressed.
Then we went to Rita's. Rita's is all the rave around here. They serve frozen snacks and drinks. I ordered a Blendzini, which was frozen vanilla custard with Oreos mixed in, very similiar to a Blizzard from DQ, but made with custard instead of ice cream. It was good. If we go back again I will try something different, just because I can. :0) I ordered a frozen chocolate custard for Tyler and he enjoyed it, he didn't even realize it wasn't real ice cream.
Once we got back to my parent's house I was hoping I would be able to carry Reed in the house and he would continue his nap. But wouldn't you know it he woke up and refused to go back to sleep.
I decided to go for a walk up the street and surprise one of my friends that I was in town. We hung out there for a while and the kids played. It was very hot and humid and Granny and Pappy would be home soon from work so we needed to leave.
Once back home the boys played in the basement and I tried to relax, which is nearly impossible when you have a 5 year old and an 2 year old.
We went to Greenmount Station for dinner. Came back home and then Mom and I took Reed and went to the grocery store. Reed was terrible in the grocery store. He promptly went to bed at 8 p.m. after biting my knee.
Tyler just went to bed a little while ago. The house is quiet as everyone is sleeping and I am sitting here for some down time. I am thinking I am hearing people walking in my parents house, but I am sure it is just the sounds from the rain. Although I have said numerous times that I think the man who used to live here comes back for visits. My bedroom was his den for smoking and watching TV.
I wonder what tomorow will bring...another exciting day I am sure. I am to meet some SS people for lunch, I hope that happens as 2 have already cancelled.
Until tomorrow...
