Our Weekend

This weekend went by too fast. This also happens to be something we say every weekend and this one is no exception. Saturday morning Dan had to go in for a few hours and I had to be to the pool by noon to register the kids for swimming lessons. I took off and headed over to the pool following the directions the lady gave me on the phone. Of course I get lost so I call Dan who looks it up and walks me through it turn by turn. I was actually at the pool when I called him but it seemed so small and there was no sign. Anyway I get there and there are a few people in front of me. I however have come prepared with the registration form filled out. No one else bothered to do that. Sp while they are all filling out the form I am getting the kids into our first choice. Yeah! So we start swimming lessons this morning at 11. IN a non holiday week we would go M-F this week and M-Th next. Each class is 25 min and 9 days long. However, since its the 4th on Friday we wont have class. We are hoping that the swim classes will help out with the kids and some behavioral problems we have been having lately. I am looking forward to 25 minutes soaking up the sun pool side as well.

After I got back we had some lunch and headed over to Sears to look at another elliptical machine I found on line. We got there and looked at it, looked good got on it and started going and... squeak, squeak, squeak. Ok next. There's quite a few on sale and a few floor models and are available for a really good deal. But we did that with the washer and it turned out to be an ordeal so we decide new is best. We try out all the Nordic Tracks and they seem weak at best. Then I hop on this Horizon, its really just for fun since its a bit out of our price range. We wanted to stay under $400 and this one was $599 on sale. I get up and start going and I am instantly in love. Dan is over on a Nordic Track with no price on it and he liking that one. So we switch. The Nordic Track is nice I like it but I am sure that its at least a G note. Dan likes the Horizon which is on a good sale its $400 off! We go over and ride a few bikes, but I really want an elliptical. We see the sale is going on until the 7th and decide to go home read the reviews and sleep on it. Its a big purchase after all.

After sears we took the kids over to the play area for a little bit. Afterwards we walk over to see what time Wall E is playing. The next one starts at 4 so we buy tickets and go over and watch the water fountain for a bit. It was pretty hot out so when I say a bit I mean it! Wall E was such a cute movie and the kids loved it. Phedora wanted to stay and watch it again.

Sunday, Dan mowed the lawn and I cleaned up the kitchen. Then we headed over to Sears to buy our new elliptical machine. After reading the reviews and it getting 4.4 out of 5 stars we were pretty much sold on it. We did spend the extra $100 to get an additional 3 year warranty. When we got home Dan had to go pick up Jake and Jenna from the airport. He brought them back here so that Jake could help him bring it in. Its a big heavy box. Last night we all put it together and I did 20 minutes on it. I thought I was going to die. I did another 30 this morning and I am loving it. I am so happy that we got this one instead of the others that we looked at. All in all it was a great weekend. The only thing that went wrong was Dan didn't respect the V slicer and sliced the tip of his finger off. It made it a little more difficult to put the elliptical together but he managed.
