I think I'll probably be working down in the basement. Kenny spends most of the day Saturday down there...and I usually end up running errands (without kids) or taking care of kids at home, so it's probably high time that I get my rear end down there and help! BUT if you're lucky, your weekend probably won't include anything involving mudding, taping, and sanding. So what could you do??? Here's a few suggestions...
How about a movie...
Monster's vs. Aliens is opening on Mar. 27th. - My kids can't wait to see this flick. (Don't know that it will happen anytime soon...but they can always hope!) Just be aware that this movie is rated PG for sci-fi action, some crude humor, and mild language. It's getting a pretty decent rating on Rotten Tomatoes (72% Fresh rating) so it may be worth spending some of the hard earned moola to check it out in the theaters.*Just for beans - If you don't want to spend the cash to go to see the flick but the kiddies want a little monster fun try making your own monster slime.
Ingredients
- 120ml of water (about 1/2 cup)
- 120ml of glue (about 1/2 cup)
- 5ml of Borax
- Food Coloring (any color)
Preparation
Mix all the above ingredients together and knead until it forms a soft, gooey slime!
Have FUN!
This slime is not to be eaten!

Not sure about monsters this weekend...how about superheroes, er...superdogs to be more exact.
Bolt came out on DVD this week. We just rented it last night and the kids enjoyed it. Is it a Disney "must have"? No, probably not, but it's cute and worth spending $1 at the Redbox or even a few $$$ at the local video store.
Wanna skip the movie altogether? How 'bout picking up a book and ploppin' down on the couch!
For a little light reading, why not pick up a copy of one of the books in the Fablehaven series by Brandon Mull. This is a young adult series. (I started reading it to preview it for Jackson...but I've really enjoyed it!) If you're into monsters and magic (something akin to Harry Potter) you'll enjoy this series AND for those of you who have already started reading the series, the 4th book, Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary, came out on Mar. 24th...look for a copy in your local library or on the store shelves.
Need something more meaty?? Try The 5000 Year Leap by Cleon Skousen. This is a book that Glenn Beck has been encouraging people to read and Kenny has been bugging me to find a copy of the book for him. I tried Barnes and Noble last Saturday...all sold out! But, Amazon has copies for about $10.95 (that's almost half price) or of course, you could try the library again.
Have a great weekend!!

Cassie, I just finished reading it and really liked it. It was eye-opening! Kenny is welcome to borrow my copy.
