End of Week


I can't believe it is Friday already. I know that somewhere out there, those pesky gnomes somehow managed to steal a day right out from under me. While I slept, they took Wednesday - just because they can.

With the weekend staring me down, I am faced with the inevitable question. What to do?

After chatting with a friend of mine, I discovered that her and her daughter are involved in a community theater that is putting on a show this weekend. It is outdoors and promises to have yummy treats and entertainment for the girls. I've got Saturday night covered. Thanks Linda!

I'm thinking it's time to pack up the kids and venture to Ft. Wayne to visit their zoo. We have yet to go this year and they have a new killer sky ride over their version of Africa. Should be fun to dangle above the animals - Olivia will try to feed them I'm sure. That may consume Sunday.

I shouldn't ever say that there isn't anything to do around here. I mean, there's the Ann Arbor Art Festival , in it's 50th year, going on next weekend. There's the Silver Leaf Renaissance Faire that starts this weekend and goes on for several weekends. There's always going to the lake. Exploring the dunes. Heading north. A vast array of options lie in wait. It's just so hard to narrow it down to one thing to do. And what will not make the kids want to explode with mass disinterest.

Here's to having a good weekend. Filled with fun, family and a little bit of dysfunction.
