Welcome to the September 2nd edition of
Thursday Thunks!(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want.
Write about it on your blog… simple as that.
Maybe you can interpret it as a picture – we don’t care!
Please only leave a link if you have written a Thursday Thunks post.
Don‘t forget to go visit the other participants’ blogs.
Read and comment about all their Thursday Thunks responses!
That’s what all this is about after all, isn’t it?
We’ll have so much fun and become lifelong friends….

Weekend rewind. If you want to play along, grab the above button and tell me all about your weekend!

Friday ~ Trent had a doctors appointment in the morning, physical and shots.. poor baby. Then off to get groceries, grabbed some lunch and headed home. Figured out what yarn I needed to start on some hats for a friend, then off to Michael’s to get said yarn. I was just planning on hanging out at home for the evening until I received a phone call from my sister in law.

She wanted to know if I wanted to go see Donny and Marie at the Soaring Eagle Casino. She was given 2 tickets. So off we went. The GPS said it was an hour and 41 minute drive, so getting us there at 8:16… 16 minutes after it started. Oh no, not on my watch. I was determined to get us there by 8, and by golly I did! Now finding a parking spot was another story. So many people there gambling their money away! What a shame! Any who, we found a spot, met the guy who had the tickets for us, and off we went.

What an awesome show, and SEATS!! So wish I would have went with my gut and grabbed my big camera anyways, even though it said no cameras/video equipment. So many people were taking pictures, I tried with my little camera, but they didn’t turn out. Oh well! It was great just seeing them.

Awesome night!!

Saturday ~ I did a few errands then headed back home, as Trent was sick. He was experiencing some side effects from his shots he received on Friday. John worked in the basement on the guitar, while I knitted most of the day. I snuck in a nap.

Sunday ~ Had every notion to go to church (even with it starting earlier than the norm), but Trent woke up yet again with a fever, so I stayed home with him. Loaded up the crock pot with a pork roast, using Tastefully Simple’s Vidalia Onion Dressing. Oh my did it ever taste good!

Just a lounging kind of weekend here at the Saladino household.

What did you do this weekend? Let me know if you play along!

It’s Monday again. Time to get your menus planned. Stop on over at Laura’s and see if you can some tasty new ideas for dinner.

Sunday ~ Pork roast, potatoes, carrots and rolls

Monday ~ lasagna and garlic bread

Tuesday ~ leftovers from above

Wednesday ~ ham, scalloped potatoes, corn and corn bread

Thurs ~ pizza

Fri ~ BLT’s and corn on the cob

Trent and Juan wanted to ride on the Rip cord, so $40 later, they were on their way. Yikes!

All geared up, and next in line

Time to get hooked up

Up they go

Going up higher still

And their flying

Thumbs up… they enjoyed it

I took a short video of them

Cohen had fun riding the rides as well

Aden was so thrilled that he could ride a few of the rides by himself

Lounging around the water park

Co was ready to go, he was cold

Friday ~ Grocery shopping in the am, then I was off to the Danish Festival in Greenville with Robyn and the boys. They had lots and lots of craft booths, with so many things I wanted! If I only had more money! Oh well. I did buy a cute sign that will go in my dining room, and once its up I will post a picture. They boys did as well as we expected them to while we did our “mom” thing, so our last thing to do was go to the kids area and let them have fun. They each got a balloon animal from the clown, went in the bounce house/slide and the big slide then each got their face painted – Co was Spiderman and A was Captain America.

Saturday ~ John and Trent went to drum lessons and I went and got my nails done. Once home we had lunch and then I got started on making the 8 dozen cookies for church. After they were all made, John and I went shopping, wish I could say it was for something fun, but alas it was just clothes for him. We had dinner then a few rounds of Rockband and Beatles Rockband.

Sunday ~ Church in the am, then off to my cousin’s baby shower. She received so many cute girly things… almost makes me want another baby… ALMOST!

What did you do this weekend? Let me know if you play along!

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we’ve committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do “random questions,” so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don’t have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today’s meme!
