The Sunday Salon: I LOVE The Weekend

Sunday Salon

Sigh. Weekends aren’t always relaxing for me, but they are much appreciated, even when they involve cleaning and errands the constant chauffeuring of these kids of mine. Gosh, they are busy!

And The Boy just got busier. He’s in choir, but he auditioned for this other group in choir called the Madrigals and he made it. His “initiation” took place the other day and involved a “kidnapping” at the crack of dawn. I kept it quiet, but I think someone tipped him off as he wasn’t too surprised that these kids were in his room and jumping on his bed! This is the finished result. I was kidnapped when I made pep squad in high school. It’s all in fun.

The Girl begins rehearsal this week for her choral group and she is also signing up for a couple of craft clubs. She is VERY excited about summer day camp, which is just around the corner. The countdown has begun. Summer will be busy but hopefully fun too. Mmmmm. I can already smell the Hawaiian Tropic (which now smells like the original Coppertone of my youth).

This weekend has been spent watching movies even though I had planned to get more reading in. Some days, I just don’t feel like thinking and yesterday was one of those days. We watched movies all day long and I was just fine with it. We watched two Bond films (Dr. No and A View to a Kill), an 80’s movie (Back to School) and today I think we may watch another Bond film (Tomorrow Never Dies).

Later, we plan to BBQ some burgers as it is just gorgeous out! What do you have planned for today?
