So, my weekend started with me getting out of work at 10, then I went to get two tires on my car (the other two will be next check). After a chat with mom I found that she was staying Friday and Saturday night...we never discussed how long she was staying! Mom made it here by 4:30pm and then Natosha, my mom and I went to the mall. We walked around until we were starving, off to get some dinner (we went to Chic-fil-A), then...dessert! We went for ice cream to Bruster's - so rich and creamy, with a big assortment of flavors (you never know what they will have, if they run out of one flavor up goes a different kind, very cool). Mom got cappuccino, Natosha got a "dirt" cup, and I got mint chocolate chip (I have also had their coconut chocolate chip, and chocolate raspberry truffle, very good!). Jason finally made it home from work and we all retired to bed soon thereafter (midnight).Saturday was an early day - up by 8am, and off to see Marshall at his football Jamboree! That's a picture of him in his uniforn after the game was over - it was a mere 20 minutes but exciting nonetheless. They are the Giants, but they wear purple and gold (go Vikings!)...they are one of three teams from the Indian Land area, and have three preseason games, and five "real" games. Got Marshall after the game and "surprise" he was spending the night too! I really need to get better at tracking who is spending the night at my house and when...home for lunch (fresh corn n the cob - from mom, cheese stuffed chicken breasts, and mandarin oranges). Later that day mom, Marshall, Jason and myself went out for dinner to Ruby Tuesday's - hungry for salad bar. We came home and got in 2 rounds of "Farkle" - it is a dice game where you roll six dice to try and score 10,000 points in order to win! First time for both Marshall and Jason, and about 12 years since either mom or I had played...
Sunday was a short day with Mom, as she had to run off and see one of her friends before she headed home. We hung out and played "war", "go fish" and I flipped through my quilt block book, as I have fabric but no solid ideas yet. Marshall and I played on the Wii for a little bit and then it was time to take him to Target (so, mamaw could take him home).
Monday was 10 hours at work, ran to Subway for a quick dinner for the house as we had a football game to get to. Natosha and I went to see Marshall's first preseason football game (we won 12-8)...they don't kick point afters - they have to run it in for 2 points. We scored 2 touchdowns, but no point after - and the other team scored 1 touchdown and the 2pt. conversion afterwards. Lots of screaming and yelling, I think it is called cheering? Lots of fun regardless!
