MAC - welcome back.. how many weeks until your son comes home for the summer?

Geoff and Dh are going on a scout camping trip next weekend and Eric doesn't want to go. so He is asking me what are "we" gonna do.. but the Rush is not playing in town, too early for Sox or Cubs or Great America, Illini are out of the Sweet Sixteen.. he doesn't like museums.. not interested in the ZOO.. what can I do with him?

how old is Eric?

would he go for a marathon of movies and pizza out for a couple of nights?
if you give his age, i'd have a better idea.

i took my boys when they were 9 and up to the amish village over in indiana one break period.

todd is out of school on may 8.
i have to make a trip on april 21 or whatever that thursday is and get a hotel for that night. when he is out of school on that friday, we are packing up half of the belongings in his dorm room to bring home.
then when he finishes, we will finish the move.

he has too much stuff for me to get it all in the van.....

 

[HERSEY]

geffric I think some pretty good movies are coming out next weekend.

 

[geffric]

Eric is 13 and graduating 8th grade in JUne.. there are several movies he wants to see like 300 but I am not gonna sit thru those..

 

[HERSEY]

geffric Too bad I have plans for next weekend or I'd say let him and Alex hang out. Maybe another time.

 

[geffric]

Eric just came over here and he asked what I was doing.. and I told him about the movies and pizza and he said " I don't want to go to the movies with you. I'd rather go with my friends"

good Idea maybe another time..

Talk about a blow to your ego. How about a date with Mr hefty bag for him I used to tell Alex good thing he was too cute for the garbage.

What a brat!!!
you have my permission to beat that kid with a wet noodle!!!

I'm glad Lauren is still at the age where she wants to do things together and I don't embarrass her.....YET!!!

 

[jedi_librarian]

Speaking of movies!!! I just went to see The Namesake and it was FABULOUS!! It made me laugh and cry. It's based on the book (which is excellent too). I highly recommend both the book and the movie (Bunchkin, the main character is the guy who plays Kumar, but he did a wonderful job in this more, serious role)

 

[Bunchkin]

I don't think I've even heard of that movie yet. I'll have to go check it out!

 

[geffric]

What a brat!!!
you have my permission to beat that kid with a wet noodle!!!

good idea.. wonder if he will hold still while I make the pasta .. of course i'd have to keep DH from eating it.. ..

 

[Bunchkin]

geffric So if the movie is a no-go, then what will he do with you?
Do you guys: Ice skate, roller skate, bowl, wall climbing??--trying to think of things a 12 yr old might like to do.

Good Sunday to all!!


Some of you were speaking about High School Musical on Ice. I found this in a Mousesavers email I got:


Disney's High School Musical: The Ice Tour Hits 100 Cities Beginning this September
The cultural sensation "High School Musical" reaches a whole new level of "cool" with Disney's High School Musical: The Ice Tour. This ice spectacular will premiere in New York City on September 29, 2007.

The ice tour will feature a live fusion of songs, dance and team-spirited fun to celebrate the music of the original Emmy Award-winning Disney Channel movie, and its sequel "High School Musical 2," which is set to debut on the Channel this summer.

The global tour, comprised of three companies, is expected to play more than 100 cities in its first year alone, including the worldwide premiere at Madison Square Garden (on September 29th and 30th) and the Staples Center in Los Angeles (on October 5th) in addition to cities in Europe, Canada and Mexico.

"We'll be recruiting some of the world's most talented skaters to play East High School's own Troy, Gabriella, Ryan, Sharpay, Chad and Taylor," said producer Nicole Feld. "They'll be heating up the ice performing chart-topping tunes and signature choreography, and with the ice as the dance floor, this event will be an unprecedented twist on a fan favorite."

Disney's High School Musical: The Ice Tour will feature music from the popular "High School Musical" soundtrack, including "We're All in This Together," "Get'cha Head in the Game," "Start of Something New," "Stick to the Status Quo," along with new music from "High School Musical 2."

Tickets for the U.S. tour will go on sale on Monday, April 2, while the European, Canadian and Mexican dates will be released later this spring.

Got presale info here today TOO late! I try and stay away from the computer and look what happens! I miss all the half way decent seats. I am REALLY bummed!

Eric just came over here and he asked what I was doing.. and I told him about the movies and pizza and he said " I don't want to go to the movies with you. I'd rather go with my friends"

i remember that age now...........mine said the same thing.
and when i wanted silence, i would take a son and let him pick a friend to go to the movies with.

i would drop them off and then pick them up.

then it was always the friend of son that would yak with me n the car ride home about the movie while mine sulked.....


i'll think of something for you two to do.........and i won't mention movies again

 

[KimRaye]
