Friday Fun and Time Wasters

Since its a long weekend, I thought I would share a few of my favorite online time wasters. First off is my All Time Favorite site to spend way too much time on (I’ve been playing there for 9 years) Pogo. I love love love this site : ) I enjoy playing the games Poppit, Sweet Tooth, and Tumble Bees too. This site is so much fun, but oh so addictive.

Up next is a new found favorite icanhascheezburger. You can view or upload you favorite lol kitties : ) This site is too fun, and who doesn’t love adorable and hilarious kitties ; )

Finally a super cool James suggestion, and a favorite of mine too… StumbleUpon. A quick download of their toolbar and you are well on your way to stumbling new sites, blogs, and so much more. This site is great and it is like channel surfing on the internet. I’ve found so many great blogs to read by using StumbleUpon : )

Do you have any favorite sites or Time Wasters?

T-Ball Time

Last night was Thade’s first T-Ball game and it was a blast. Thade did pretty good too. He had fun batting, catching, and throwing the ball back to the coach. I think he even made a friend or two. It looks like it is going to be a great but busy T-Ball season. Practices are on Tuesday evenings and the games are on Wednesday evenings, so we will be out and about a lot.

Are your kids playing any sports this Summer?

Greener Garbage

On Sunday I made a grocery run for some much needed items, the flu had made a return to our household, and I had a lot of cleaning to do. Trash Bags were on my list, and I was also looking for a good deal. I usually buy the Wal-Mart brand trash bags, but I spotted Good Sense Recycled Trash Bags on sale for $2.50 🙂 I decided to give them a try, and I’m very pleased with their product.

This is one Green alternative that saved me a little green too. I saved $.68 purchasing the Good Sense trash bags 🙂

Cameraless

I’m bad luck when it comes to electronics. My awesome digital camera broke and displays only a white screen now, and then this weekend my other digital camera bit the dust too. Anytime I attempt take a picture the entire camera shuts down. I’ve ordered a new battery for my awesome digital camera, but it isn’t going to make it in time for Thade’s first T-Ball game… Oh well, I just hope the new battery does the trick.

Our Day Trip To K.C.

Saturday we made the drive up to Kansas City, and the day was filled with fun and craziness. Both boys were so excited to see their Uncle Rob, and Nana and I were pretty excited too.

We met up at Rob’s apartment, and then we planned the day from there. Rob took us by where he works, and it was amazing. He is right by Union Station, and I couldn’t believe the view.

Rob works in the art district, and it is so beautiful there. I’m a little jealous of his amazing drive to work. He drives past historical sites, art museums, and amazing skyscrapers. I love architecture and I hope one day to end up in a big city with a view like the pictures above.

 

We then headed over to Minsky’s on the River Market for some tasty Kansas City Pizza, and it was so delicious. We also got to check out the Open Air Farmer’s Market too, it was amazing. I spotted way too many awesome deals on fruits and veggies. I’d shop there weekly if I could.

 

We had a little detour though… After lunch and checking out the sites my car started acting up. Luckily Rob was driving and headed us over to Firestone, were we got to hang out for about an hour and a half while my car got some diagnostic work done 😉

Even though we spent the afternoon at Firestone, we all had a fun time just hanging out. Thade was getting a little stir crazy though 😉 There turned out to be nothing wrong with my car, thank goodness. I might have a sensor going out. The car was safe to drive and we were ready to get back on the road.

 

We took the kiddos and Nana back to Rob’s. Dylan was ready to eat and take a nap, and Thade was ready to chill out on the couch for a bit. Rob drove me to the Plaza so I could pick up a present for James. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Plaza, it is truly awesome. There are endless places to eat and shop, and you can people watch all day. The architecture is incredible, and every where you look is a lovely fountain or a beautiful statue. I’m so ready to move to K.C. now 😉

Rob said he would buy coffee, and you know I can’t say no to an iced coffee. He introduced me to Latte Land, and I’m a huge fan now! I had a Vanilla Bliss Blended Coffee, and I have to say it was even tastier than my beloved Starbucks Frappuccino. Just one more reason I’m ready to move to K.C.

We all had such a great time, and thanks again to Rob for having us up to visit. I can’t wait to go and visit again 🙂
