Rain and more rain

Last Saturday - Brad and I had a very nice night out. We went the Power & Light district. Due to the rainy weather and no big events happening - it was not crowded at all. Which was fine with us. We mainly wanted to see what it was like and what all they had down there. We ate dinner at Famous Dave's BBQ. There was absolutely no wait. We had a nice relaxing dinner and good conversation. After dinner we went to the KC live area and walked around. Luckily it is outdoors but covered. We were going to stop by the Howling Moon dueling piano bar for a little bit but decided against it due to the $7 cover charge per person and the fact that we didn't want to stay that long. We will go back another night and maybe take some friends with us. After we left there we went to Best Buy and Barnes & Noble - our usually date night venues. I know it doesn't sound very romantic or exciting - but we like it and that is all that matters.

Sunday morning Brad left for Chicago. I went and picked up the boys at Grandma and Grandpas and we spent a nice quiet day at home.

Monday was our first cub scout meeting of the school year. We have 5 new boys. With the 6 from last year - that makes a pretty big den. Chad is going to do all the meetings this year and Crystal is going to help. I am going to just do the behind the scenes bookkeeping and I am very happy about that.

Tuesday was a busy day. I went in to office after Alec got on the bus. After work it was a rush to get dinner and help the boys with homework before my 7:30 scout committee meeting. Alec was having a bit of a melt down about his stretch project and I was no help since I had no patience. We really needed Brad that night :)

Wednesday - school, work and Alec finished his project for Stretch. Hunter called that night and we had a nice conversation. Unfortunately part of the reason he called was to tell us he broke his collar bone playing football - OW! He had just gone back to practices after the doctor cleared him for his knee issues - and about 15 minutes in - BAM he broke the collar bone. No more football for him.
His good news was that he has been nominated for Homecoming royalty. We are very proud of him. There are 5 boys and 5 girls in the running. They will find out the results on 9/22.

Thursday - school, work, dinner at Salt Iguana, trip to the Guitar Center and fall school clothes shopping at Kohl's.

Friday - school, work, tornado warnings and hurricane Ike. Brad came home - yeah!

Saturday - lazy day at home for me and Alec. Brad and Jason went to Bass Pro Shop. Jason climbed the rock wall and made it to the top. I think they had a good time and it was nice for them to have some 1 on 1 time.

Today - time to get my butt moving and get ready for the garage sale next Saturday.
