Our 4th Weekend

Well, Chris got lucky and had a 4 day weekend this weekend and we stayed busy for most of it. On Friday we spent a good part of the day buying stuff for the BBQ we had on the 4th. Got lots of chicken, burgers and dogs for the grill and stuff for all the sides I ended up making. We sat down Friday night and watched Journey to the Center of the Earth with the kids. It was pretty cute, but would have been awesome in 3D.

Saturday we got up and did the last bit of cleaning and starting in on the cooking. I made a 7-layer dip, homemade macaroni & cheese, baked beans, and a fruit salad. Chris ended up making the ham & cream cheese rolls. LOL! So people came over and we did the whole BBQ thing...had lots of yummy stuff brought...blondies, potatoes, lumpia. So lots of good eats. We watched the fireworks shot from Seaworld in our backyard. We weren't really impressed with them, though.

Sunday we ended up going out and getting a clothes line for the backyard. I had bought one of the retractable kind and it turned out that the wire in it was pretty weak and you can't hang anything too heavy on it. So we got one of the umbrella ones. Had some left over burgers and sausages for dinner. Then we watched Live Free or Die Hard. It was pretty good. I liked the idea of the whole cyber stuff they had in it.

Yesterday was a lazy day for me. I did end up doing some laundry, but that was about it. Got a scrapbook layout done in the afternoon, too, which was an accomplishment. Chris met with some of his classmates to work on their lessons for today, so he was gone most of the day. Had more leftovers (chicken) last night. LOL! I was up late playing on the stupid computer, so I'm draggin a bit this morning.
