A fun-filled weekend
On Saturday, an auction
Sunday, Prophetstown
Thanks to that good-for-nothing Mother Nature, the weather in Indiana is FINALLY supposed to be warm(er) and sunny this weekend. This is a good thing because if the weather was cold, dreary, windy, and miserable like it was last weekend, I was going to be forced to pack up the family and head back to Alabama.
(I’m TOTALLY kidding about that. Going back to Alabama! That is cuh-razy talk.)
(ha.) (HAAA, HAA, HAAAA.) (CRAZY talk.) (HA!)
So anyhoo, what plans are on your docket for the weekend? What does your family do for fun? I’d really like to know so that in the event that Mother Nature screws my eyeballs out and wrecks the weekend, I could possibly have some ideas for alternatives so that we don’t end up back in Alabama.
To play along for Haiku Friday, follow these steps:
1. Write your own haiku on your blog. You can do one or many, all following a theme or just random. What’s a haiku, you ask? Click here.
2. Sign the Mister Linky below with your name and the link to your haiku post (the specific post URL, not your generic blog URL). We will delete your link if it doesn’t go to a haiku. If you need help with this, contact Christina or myself. REMEMBER…ONLY sign Mr. Linky if you have a HAIKU POST.
3. Pick up a Haiku Friday button to display on the post or in your sidebar by clicking the button above.
I’m no help, we live in FL so most of our activities take place outdoors.
This weekend, we’re going to visit a horse sanctuary that takes in retired horses and also rescued dogs. Then Sunday, we’re going to a Spring Festival in our little town.

Hopefully the weather stays nice for you. We’ll probably do soccer and then maybe a movie? Shopping would be nice too, but with my boys…. maybe not.

I hope the weather is gorgeous for you. We had sunny and 70′s last weekend with possible snow this weekend, but my only plan is a celebratory cocktail or five. I suppose that’s not a family activity, though it can be done either indoors or outside, regardless of weather.

Sadly, I’m studying for and taking an exam this weekend. Then I somehow agreed to go with my husband to a 24-hour sci-fi movie marathon. We’ll see if I stay the whole time, though!

We go to the mall. Seriously. That’s what we do for fun when the weather is crappy. Our mall has an indoor play thing and a train. What more could you ask for? Oh – and cookies. Yummy yummy cookies.

Tomorrow: sleep in. oh, and sleep. I may take a nap. and get me some sleep. looking forward to some hard-earned sleep!
did I mention I’ll sleep?
So tired this week. Friend of mine is getting a group together and going to the Happiest Place on Earth on Sunday. We have passes and they want us to go but we were JUST THERE last Friday and I don’t know if my feet can take another day of constant standing. We’ll see.
Have a great weekend! The weather will hold. It has got to.
Mama DB’s last blog post..Haiku Friday: What of it?
Plow days looks super fun. Our family would be all over that. It looks like we’ll be joining my moms group to clean up a park and then working in our garden most of the weekend.
Rayne of Terror’s last blog post..It’s only Wednesday
Staying home is what
I do on the weekends these
days … Of course the beach
is just a short walk
for Molly and I if we
choose to ‘get away’
for a little while.
Sunday my Red Hat group has
tickets for ‘Gypsy’
Sorry I’m no help …
Hope the weather ‘holds’ and you
all have a grand time!!!
Hugs and blessings,

And what is up with the earthquake out your way? sheesh.
Mama DB’s last blog post..Haiku Friday: What of it?
We are staying on the couch…At least I am.
Fa has a party to go to…that’s it.
Sorry I’m so boring this weekend.
~JJ!’s last blog post..Memeing and Ku’ing at The Pro
No plans yet this weekend. I forsee lots of time outside if it doesn’t rain. We like doing work in the yard and garden on the nice weekends this time of year.
I was going to ask what you thought of the earthquake too, but I see someone beat me to it. Betcha didn’t think you’d have to deal with that when moving to IN! Some people felt it here too, but I slept through it.
Mommy Daisy’s last blog post..Q is for Quiet
We have 2 birthday parties this weekend and hopefully some house showings. Oooh, the excitement…
Shelly’s last blog post..Crack is Whack
ooh I hope the weather is nice for you! We usually do low-cost things like going to the park as a family, taking walks to feed the ducks etc if it’s nice weather.
If not it’s time for playing with the building blocks, letting the toddler have a go on mariokart and other games on the ‘Big TV’ with his daddy and reading together. If I’m feeling adventurous (read willing to clean up more mess than usual) we’ll do some painting or baking of some sort… all in between my blog reading of course
Marylin’s last blog post..I’m Hai!
We always look for parks, anything to do outside. Especially near water… grass and trees are good.
Picnics rock and laying on your back on a blankie is heaven. Then again, so is chasing a toddler through tickly grass.
Man, I love Spring!
*runs outside to feel the grass*
Sarcastic Mom’s last blog post..Don’t act like it’s never happened to you.
We’re going to an Irish dance competition in Dallas, also known as accordion music ’til your ears bleed.
the Mom’s last blog post..what d’ya know, It’s Haiku Friday!!!!!
Shush! It’s supposed to snow here this weekend. Grr!
As for plans, Elliot is attending a birthday party at a place called The Princess Palace and I’m going out for dinner with my parents. As for family fun, you know what we did last weekend? Went to the oldest cemetery in town and took pictures of gravestones. I know it sounds weird, but the pictures turned out beautifully. Okay, yes, it is weird.
andi’s last blog post..New house rules
I’m glad it is going to be warm there! The weather here in SC keeps changing its damn mind, so we’ll see! I’m planning on going to some yard sales this weekend, and maybe the beach if the weather is nice enough
Cassie’s last blog post..Happy Birthday Furbaby!
Oooh!! I love a good auction! All the self satisfaction of finding a treasure in a junk shop with the thrill of gamboling. Have fun!
Scylla’s last blog post..Haiku Friday…
Loving this warmer weather!
Hope you all have a great weekend! (Even though Saturday looks like it may be poopy….Sunday, let’s deliver again, K?)
Did you all feel the quake?
We just had another aftershock. Ok, yikes. Aren’t tornados and bitchy bi-polar weather enough, Indiana? Now we need earthquakes?! Come on!

Alisha’s last blog post..Haiku Friday: Hail and Hickey’s
I’ve heard rumor that it’s supposed to be nice here this weekend too. Which is great since I woke up to snow again yesterday. Freaking spring. Let’s see….my weekend is a bit nuts. I’m going to meet Bossy tonight along with some other peeps. Picking up my Mama at the airport tomorrow and then heading to a birthday dinner that I’m throwing for myself. Oh and cleaning somewhere in there.
Ideas for you….um a picnic? It’s hard to think, cause your kids are younger than my nieces are now and what we do, won’t really work for you yet. Is there a zoo out there? That might be cool.
Phoenix’s last blog post..Holy crap does this thing still work???
We’re having a beautiful week, although it’s supposed to get a smidge cooler and rainy this weekend. I guess I can’t be greedy! I don’t know what part of Indiana you live in, but I was wondering if you felt the earthquake. I live in central Ohio, and I swear the news is acting like it was THE END OF THE WORLD! My oldest lives in Champaign, IL, though, and it woke them up. He said it was really weird to have the whole house shaking! I know my sister in Indianapolis was woken by it…that made me think of you since you’re in Indiana. Have a great weekend. Our plan is to GET BETTER…I am so. tired. of. being. sick., not to mention DH being sick! lol.
Mom24′s last blog post..Haiku Friday…spring
We just moved up to Philly from N. FL, so we know what you mean! We’re having a bit of a heat wave here right now, though. High of 82 here today. That’s a bit much for here for May, you know?
But, we are loving getting outside finally! We’re at parks every day now.
Let’s see, this weekend… Play date on Saturday… Church on Sunday…That’s all I know so far. Laundry when hell freezes over. And trying to kick my husband out of the house so he can truly get some studying done for final exams (law school), instead of “studying” while my son, Jude, chases him around the house.
Have a good one!
I need it to be nice outside too. My daughter’s first softball game is tomorrow. If the weather stinks I don’t know what we’ll do–probably walk around Sam’s eating samples. Yep–I lead an EXCITING life!
I’ve just posted my first Haiku. You can join us for the weekend if you want. Bring your strong backs and muscles. lol. Oh yeah, ours is only if it doesn’t rain.
Judi’s last blog post..Red Friday
You know my plans: sleep.
And get ready for the Bloggy Giveaway next week. And for my blog carnival the week after that.
O.k., so maybe I won’t get so much sleep after all. :/
Rebecca’s last blog post..Project Looking Through (Take 3)
Uh, babe, the weather forecast has 60% chance of rain both days for Indy. Sux.
The Children’s Museum is always my backup, but it’s krazee on the weekends so I usually go on weekdays I’m not working when the weather’s lousy.
I donno. Hang out at a superstore? Go out to lunch?
Must Be Motherhood’s last blog post..Earthquake!
Oh I hear ya. A little sunshine is good for the soul. I was about to go batsh!t crazy in the house! Anything above 30 degrees is warm by me!
Sad. True.
Have a good weekend J.

I also think that the hubs and I may try to get a date night and see the new Jet Li flick. (Romantic weekend, huh?)

Stephanie’s last blog post..Haiku Friday- First week of Homeschooling
Same thing I do every single weekend.
Get up way too early because my kids have no concept of sleeping in….read some blogs….maybe blog….feed my kids….dress my kids…stop the fighting….clean up after my kids….clean up after my husband…cook…clean some more…
Ugh..I need a life.
Oh! No! I am wrong, it is an exciting weekend. We actually are having a date night tomorrow. Now that is quite a treat! And it can be done in any type of weather!

I’m calling upon all my heathen gods to continue with the cold weather.
You didn’t think all this crazy ass cold weather was just a coincidence, did you? Me and the heathen gods, we’re tight. They tell me….Heather, ask and ye shall receive and I asked them to drive you out of the north and back down here.
So there.

Texas is gorgeous right now, so we’re spending most of our weekend outside. However, we’ve been playing lots of indoor board games and watching dvds of the TV show HOUSE on the rainy days.
Hope the weather cooperates for you!
