Long weekend filled with fun

I am sorry I have been so quiet.

 The kids had Friday and Monday off and we enjoyed a long, fun weekend. Because I spend a lot of time with our new favorite pasttime DDR , as we dance nerds call it, or Dance Dance Revolution, I didn’t stamp at all since Friday.

Besides dancing and the regular household and SCS chores, I took care of Lucas, who had a sore throat (but is better now) and read two of my boys books. Today I made cookies to make their first day of school sweeter. A little tradition in our house.

If you have boys ages 10 and up that like adventure and quest books, you should definitely check these books out.

Hopefully I get to stamp tonight. If not tonight, then definitely tomorrow. My friend and downline Stephanie is coming over. From Thursday on I will be taking care of  Rebecca. Her gum graft will be done Thursday morning! YIKES!!!

Hi Beate,

Are those books part of a series? Who is the author. I have a 13yo who is a huge fan of Harry Potter. Are these similar? I appreciate any info you can pass on to us. TFS!
