Friday A.M. – Went to work, left at noon. It was my half day.
Friday Afternoon – Took Goose (who is almost 3) to Shawnee Mission Park to go on an “adventure” and “explore” as we hiked through the woods. The highlight was the two of us walking across an old tree trunk that had fallen over a rocky creek bed below. If we lost our balance, we would surely fall to our death 4’ feet below. We got nice and muddy! On the way home, we drove by my dad’s school and saw that there was a soccer game going on. We pulled in the parking lot and surprised Grandpa. Finally, we had slushies for QT.
Friday P.M. – My mom came over to baby-sit so that Vernal and I could go out alone on a much needed date. We have been so busy that we got in our car, I turned on the engine and then we sat there figuring out what we are doing and were we are eating based on what we are doing. Vernal wanted to do some shopping for a “hot” dress for a wedding which will turn into a college reunion. We decided to go to one of our favorite local indie-pizza joints. The Chiefs game just started and the place starts to get packed. After dinner, we ran around to a few stores. One of our stops was at a strip mall type place. We walked past a sports bar and the Chiefs were on many TV’s. We walked past a men’s suit place and 5 employees were huddled around a little fuzzy 15” t.v. watching the game in front of a help wanted sign. We then walked past a nail salon and two Asian women were chatting in the front of the store oblivious to the game that was on their 52” t.v. in the back of the shop. We found time to stop at a Border’s and I found time to pick up a new disc.
Friday late night – I stay up ‘till 4:30 working on a Halloween costume for Goose while watching the Interpreter and Kingdom of Heaven. Once you get in the flow it is hard to stop. Reminds me of working on projects in school and the all-nighter we’d do.
Saturday A.M. – probably fell asleep at 5 and Vernal let me sleep in ‘till noon-ish.
Saturday afternoon – I took both boys, Goose and Turkey, to Power Play. It was a chilly, rainy day and they have a great indoor play area for toddlers.
Saturday late afternoon – ran over to Michael’s to buy a birthday present for Goose and pick up a few supplies for his costume.
Saturday P.M. – worked some more on Goose’s costume.
Saturday Late Night – worked on the lesson for class the next morning. Stayed up ‘till 3:30.
Sunday A.M. – woke up at 8, at church by 9.
Sunday rest of the day – stayed home, played with kids, worked on costume, fell asleep on couch watching the Incredibles with Goose.

What is goose's costume???
Sounds like an enjoyable weekend. Especially that part about getting to sleep till noon.
Goose is going to be Thomas the Tank Engine and Turkey will be Percy.
Dust, it would have been better if I was able to sleep in 'till 3.
How fun! I want to do creative stuff for Halloween, but the power ranger at Target was too easy...
So... what about the hot dress? Did she find one?
Glad you guys were able to go out on a date!
It will be interesting to see your take on Thomas the Tank for a costume.
sounds like a fun costume. one of my friends in chicago is doing architecture, and it's crazy the lack of sleep she gets. I require lots of sleep!
and you should be thankful that you don't have to work weekends, because I hate it. hahaha. someday I won't have to though.... yes!
You may not get sleep, but it is fun staying up. Basically you are with a group of your closest friends in the studio. YOu have loud music playing and lots of late night adventures.
