One more day of Summer...

Peter had a great weekend with Jared, one of his best friends ever. Jared came over on Friday afternoon and they 'hung out' until late Saturday afternoon. They rode bikes in the neighborhood, went to the pool (to 'check out the ladies') did parkour at the playground, shot paintballs at each other, went to a late night movie (The Dark Knight) followed by a late night trip to McDonald's, rode bikes to visit friends in the neighborhood, rode around in Peter's car (Joe drove), played video games and basically just enjoyed one of the last days of summer. They start school on Tuesday.

Here they are preparing for battle. Jared with the gun, Peter in the helmet. Jacob, Sam and Sabian are watching.

Here is Peter reacting to being shot.....I refused to take a picture of the welt, let's just say it was a shot 'below the belt'!

Peter and Jared in Peter's car....Joe drove them around the neighborhood, but here they are planning future adventures.............


Watch out, ladies!!! Who could resist these two?

Yes, they really are that cool!

Now that the weekend is over and school starts on Tuesday, along with early (EARLY) morning Seminary that starts at 6:15, we have been talking about school night rules/bedtime. We agreed that the television would be off by 8pm on Sunday nights and will probably not be on at all Monday through Thursday. (I can dream, can't I??) We were going to start our plan tonight...until Peter saw this:

And then I saw this:


And heard: "Please, Mom!!"

Now, granted, school doesn't start until Tuesday, so technically it's not a school night yet. But the first time he saw this movie I had to listen to him talk like Napoleon Dynamite for months. (Gosh!!) I really don't want to go through that again. But, I'll probably throw caution to the wind and give in......after all, it is still summer......for one more day.....

What a perfect movie for the end of summer!!! I hope you let him stay up & watch it. You wouldn't want him to have to watch it on a DVD tomorrow or anything.

Cute post - fun kids.
