What is there to do when you have no kids? This weekend the kids are going to their grandparents and we are clueless as to what to do or what is even around to do. :? Any suggestions???
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.
:iagree: and the kitchen and the laundry room and the closet and the back porch and the .... well you get the drift. HAVE FUN!!!!
FYI - For those who have kids going off to college, they can get their text books (up to $300 each) tax free this weekend. 8)
YES!! and thats $300 per book :hurray: oh, and I did call my dd's bookstore to confirm this yesterday, but they told me it was up $100 per book. 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. The term is mutually exclusive of the terms “school supply” and “computer supply.” The items listed below are included in the term and are therefore exempt from tax during the holiday period if the sales price of the item is $300 or less per item.

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 !!
