Friday night was a fun one for the kids. The girls got to go to a pizza birthday party and then a sleepover. Zach had a "Royal Rangers" sleepover at the church with his buddies. They got to stay up ALL NIGHT and eat, play video games, play sardines, and other such fun. Most of them really did stay up all night! Zach looked okay, but when the rest of us were ready to go to the park cuz it was such a gorgeous day, we found him on his bed. It was 1:15, and he was dead asleep. I wrote a note telling him what we were doing, with Chris' cell number. I taped it on his shirt, and we left! Had a lovely time at the park. There was this rock jutting out of the water, and there was a gaggle (or whatever) of turtles sunning themselves! It was really cute! Then we got bubble shakes. When we got back 2 hours later, Zach STILL HADN'T WOKEN UP! I went to Walgreen's for a half hour, came back, he was still asleep! That was a four hour nap! One of his buddies went to sleep from 12:00 noon yesterday till 6:00 this morning! Wow! When Zach woke up at twilight yesterday, he thought it was a new day! Glad we took advantage of the nice weather, cuz today is cold and rainy! Argh!

What are bubble shakes? I want one.
Man, the things we could do as kids! It would be so hard for me to stay up all night now, but I don't think it would have been as hard as a kid. I could also sleep longer when I was little. It was not unusual to sleep till 11:00 on a Saturday morning. Ah, them were the days. Sigh.
Liane, fly out for a play date and a knitting lesson, and we'll go out for bubble shakes! :)They're an Asian invention, don't remember which country. It's a fruity shake with flavors like mango, coconut, strawberry, green tea. At the bottom of your tall, clear, plastic cup are gumball size tapioca balls. They look dark purple and are tasteless, with a delightful texture--chewy, gummy, soft. They put a huge straw in--love those. I buy mine from a Vietnamese place where they were voted best.
Whoohoo for youth! And for coffee that lets us act like we are young agian too, lol...
Whwew! What a sleeper! Zach that is, not your post--haha:) Reminds me how LExie slept from 6pm to 1pm the next day when we got back here from being in the US this summer....Oh to sleep that deeply these days.
I'm happy to invite myself along to your bubble shake introduction...
