V, that stinks about school. I have no camps set up either, but since we're traveling a lot I'm not quite so worried. It really makes NO sense that they'd change the date and then not cover you! 
There were other things I was going to say, but I've lost them.
T, happy 3 Day Weekend!
We enjoyed Prince Caspian. D has been reading the whole series to the boys starting back this fall - they do a chapter a night when D's home, and I think they're to the 5th book now. So, the reason I thought they could handle it, even though it was very, very battle-oriented, was because they knew the story. In fact, I was asking Woody "Does it all turn out OK?" "Oh, yes, Mom. It's going to be fine."
I figured they wouldn't get Indy because we've not let them watch the original 3. I kind of remember more "adult" stuff there - jokes they wouldn't get or things that I don't want to explain. (Why is that lady mad at him, Mom?" "Well, he liked her but then didn't decide to marry her..." ) . I doubt it's any more violent, I think it's just familiarity with the story, KWIM?
The movie was overly long, though - D said that they rearranged the timelines a bit from the book, and it was actually more cohesive as a series, but there still seemed like a little much padding to the story.
Still, the kids are nice and Susan kicks butt. 
At any rate, we didn't get home until 6:30, then the kids wanted to go ride bikes. For our normal 7:30 bedtime, I am feeling it's late, but D went with them. They're still outside now.
T-ball's at 9:00 tomorrow, so... I think this is probably about it for tonight for me. See y'all later!

But then I threw down two twenties and told my DH to take the boys WHEREVER they wanted to go for dinner, PLEASE. Around 5 pm my two girlfriends came by and we loaded the little bit that's left into the garage and killed the margaritas.
I'll be over on my PTR, seeing what you fine folks wrote....
The summer storms are starting this weekend here... good times. 
Since I put the kibosh on Speed Racer, I'm sure I'll be hearing all about Indy come Tuesday!
and straighten the basement to make sure everything is ready for tomorrow. I may or may not be on later. Hope you all have a good day
