This is the latest and greatest thing in our house. It all started in May when I started tutoring for my summer class. I tutor on Wednesday nights leaving the boys and Sean for what is now “guy night”. Liam looks forward to guy night all week. They play video games, go get custard, go to the bookstore, whatever they decide to do. Liam will ask me all day how long it is until dad gets home when he knows it is guy night. He will also ask me when I am leaving. Oh, the love. It makes me happy though. I love that my boys have their night together and I get to go do my thing, even if it is just doing school stuff.

Since we have zero scheduled activities on Fridays this summer, they are our excursion days. Today’s excursion was to Reading Reptile. It is the bookstore for kids that Borders and Barnes and Noble would like to be, but they can’t because they are too big. Reading Reptile has a toy area, dressup area, a place to play board games and then there are, of course, the books. They have all kinds of neat chairs to sit in while you share a book and there is even a secret hideaway with a rug and a big pillow where the kids can read. They have craft classes there for kids and movie nights on Fridays. They also have a cat who unfortunately doesn’t seem to like kids too much, but he certainly adds to the homey feel of the place. After that we went to Baskin Robbins and had an ice cream cone. I have pics of the ice cream I’ll post later. Colm was a mess…I don’t think I will ever get the chocolate out of that shirt. Oh, well…that’s what summer is for…getting to eat ice cream cones as they melt faster than you can eat them.
