Our evening out

9:30 p.m: Jay, Mason and I are relaxing after a night out. Every year there is a festival of the horse downtown with a parade and booths set up. There are places to eat and vendors all downtown. Mason wanted to go, but Jay didn't tell him until after he got out of school so Mason was excited to find out we were going. We parked and walked to town and watched the parade and walked around all of the booths. Mason played a game and won a prize. While the parade was going on they threw out candy and Mason got a bunch of that. He has it all lined up on the floor, seperated out into suckers, gum, and hard candy. We did a lot of walking so I didn't think Mason had a very good time, but when I asked him if he had fun he said, "A lot of fun." I was glad we went even though my back was hurting and Jay's leg was hurting..we did it for Mason. I'm so glad we went. We got home and Jay and Mason have been watching tv and I have been reading a book my counselor let me borrow. (Btw, this is a good book for couples and married people...it's called The Five Love Languages, by Gary Chapman.)

I've decided to give Mason a small allowance for doing chores around the house. He will be cleaning out the litter box, cleaning up after the cats, feeding the cats and Simey, and taking the trash out if it's not too heavy. Also picking up after himself, which is a challenge in itself. He has no other way of earning money to buy Wii games, or things he wants so I've decided to give him a little bit of money for doing these things. Maybe it will teach him the value of money also.

The boys are out of school for fall break next week. We don't plan on going on a vacation or anything but it will be good to just relax with them. We might get out and do a few things, but mostly just stay here in town except for my appointments. I will still have Lacey during the day so that will be interesting for the boys. I hope she doesn't wake Corey up! He doesn't do well when he gets woke up.

Well I just wanted to write about our good night. Hope you are all having a good weekend. My positive for today and the weekend is spending time with my family and having my coffee in the mornings.

Sounds like you had a fun night..And walking is great excercise..Even if it hurts it is good for depression and all other sorts of things..The allowance thing sounds like a good idea..That will give Mason some discipline and also help you out..As far as autumn break (what the heck is that)???  lol..Geeze,they just went back to school didn't they?? Oh well,enjoy your time with your boys..
