Weekend Wonders

We've finally had a beautiful week, followed by a beautiful weekend. It's like summer is finally here! Started out with the hopes of going on my first cruiser ride of '09 with the gang. Unfortunately, after the fight with the bike rack, when I got to Kristin's,
her bike had a flat. From the sounds of it, not the first. Unfortunately there was more then one hole in the tube, and our ride was called off.

However, we weren't going to let that ruin our beautiful Friday. We decided to just walk around Prince's Island Park, see if we could find anything funny and just take advantage of the warm, sunny evening. We went hoping that we would find some interesting characters, and the park did not disappoint. We found Shakespeare in the Park (doing Romeo and Juliet), so we watched for a bit, and at intermission decided to take a little walk around and see what else we could see. Good thing we did cause we happened upon this scene:

What are these guys doing? And who is the dude in the suit? The judge? What is he judging?What kind of uniforms are they? Amber thinks that they are some sort of trekkies. I'm not convinced. There's something else going on here. Very strange.

Saturday was full of consumerism. Out of the house before 11 and not back until after 6. Shopping, shopping, shopping. We finally bought a few things that we've been talking about getting for a long time. Hit up Costco and even that was dead for a Saturday afternoon. We lucked out and had a very successful shopping day.

Thanks to Christien's mum, we got a lot of our unfinished projects completed around the house. Nursery painted, closet painted, kitchen painted, baseboards painted and nailed up, new closet organizer installed. Feels nice to have those checked off our list.

Now it's back to work for the week. Dale is coming to visit this weekend. Looking forward to seeing Christien's buddy. I haven't seen him since Christmas. Might even get a visit in with Mike, Christina and their new baby Ella. Ah... working for the weekend!!
