For mother's day, Gennifer had given me $20 and a coupon for babysitting the girls so David and I could go to the movies. Thanks Gennifer!!
Anyway, We went out to eat at springcreek barbecue. Barbecue was my choice because I smelled it cooking last week and have wanted it ever since. David called dinner mediocre. I enjoyed it. Wasn't as good as momma used to make but it wasn't bad either. Mostly I enjoyed the atmosphere. Then we were off to the movies. We didn't want to watch shrek or spiderman or pirates (by we I mean me since I know David would have loved seeing either spiderman or pirates but he kept telling me it was a mother's day gift so I got to pick the movie) So I picked Delta Farce thinking we would both enjoy mindless entertainment. However it didn't start for another hour and a half so we went to Hobby Lobby to kill time.
I, of course had to check out their flannel selection for boy prints & I found some!! I found hotwheels and matchbox prints on clearance for $2/yd. It only takes half a yard to make a dipe. I get all giddy when I get to buy fabric!! I love it!
While the lady was cutting my flannel, David was discussing our children and homeschooling and what not and she turned to me and seriously asked "Is he pulling my leg?"
Absolutely not ma'am. :)
So then, just like every other stranger on earth, she has to relate to us her story about dealing with homeschoolers. Fortunately, her experience with homeschoolers was a good one and she seemed to like us.
I began browsing other clearance fabric and came across some great school fabric. One looked like a blackboard and had addition problems done on it in chalk print, the other was black and had ABC's printed on it with little pictures of things that start with each of the letters. So cute. The best part is, the lady who seemed to like us after having to be convinced we were serious about our children and homeschooling, marked the clearance fabric down even further! WOOHOO!!!!!
Then we went to see the movie which was mildly funny and disappointing. I should have picked shrek or pirates over delta farce. At least, I didn't expect much out them therefore would not have been disappointed. but whatever. Still fun.
All in all, I enjoyed the whole evening and am still on my fabric high as I am sewing diapers today!
***Side note*** as I check my spelling with the spell check, I realize that homeschoolers is not a word and homeschool is also not a word but homeschooling is a word, now how can that be?
