how about a romantic dinner date, somewhere you wouldn't go with kids in tow? movie? reflect back to when you guys used to date and before kids! Make the most of it! :mrgreen:
:iagree: When DH and I were dating we'd get in the car and pick north, south, east or west and just go.

SO I just emailed them that its $300..........I'm helpful that way..lol. http://www.dornc.com/taxes/sales/salestax_holiday.html School instructional materials with a sales price of three hundred dollars ($300.00) or less per item. “School instructional material” is written material commonly used by a student in a course of study as a reference and to learn the subject being taught.

Sounds like you may be busy this weekend :lol: but, if after you've covered the house activites and want to 'get out' and do something, try this place: http://www.paracletexp.com/ we went this past weekend and it was awesome! Its not cheap, about $150 for 2 people (buddy package, inc dvd, and t-shirts) we had a gift certificate that we won, so only had to pay for our teens to go with us. takes about 45min-an hour to get there from here. You do have to call ahead and make an appt, also wear closed-toe shoes. My dd wore slip on tennis shoes, and one flew off :lol: the guy had to 'fly' up to the ceiling to retrieve it for her, she was !!
