Daddy's going camping

Tony is off to the woods tomorrow with his friends Mike and Richard. They go and camp. . .three Eagle Scouts out drinking Kool-Aid and playing poker for Bob's jalapeno potato chips. So the kids and I have a lot of fun planned for tomorrow after school (so we can stay home most of Saturday).

First, I will read to Victoria's class, then we will swing by and get the boy. Next, we'll take a jaunt to Toys R Us so that Thad can get a chalk drawer. He REALLY wants it. . .and he pointed out that we do, indeed, "have lots and lots of coupons, Mommy." After that we need to get new shoes for both of them. . .and by that time we will NEED to stop and get Wendy's for dinner. I have an ulterior motive for choosing Wendy's. . .there is no playland. . .which means I can bring them home and they can watch Veggie Tales while we eat and I take a break.

Saturday morning we will go to Shipley's for a VERY nutritious breakfast of donuts. . .then we will be back on the straight and narrow--gastronomically and financially--our money and calories all spent.

Daddy isn't the only one who will have an eventful weekend.
