All,

Since Mom seems to be persuaded that I have already made some sort of formal invitation to you all for this weekend, herewith the reiteration of my heretofore orally transmitted proclamation:

Whereas, this is, upcoming, a 3-day holiday weekend; and

Whereas, at least some of you [read: Sarah] get Monday off; and

Whereas, the recently-acquired and large barbecue awaits its inaugural firing up of the season; and

Whereas, 4 'blockbuster' movies will be playing; and

Whereas, the weather is supposed to be nice;

Now, therefore, any of you all who can find your way home to Logan this weekend may expect to find said alleged barbecue, 'blockbuster' movies, and/or other various & sundry delights on the ticket, mostly on the parents' tab,all for the mere asking price of a little help in getting the garden in and planted in the process.

Further your affiant saith naught.

Love,
Dad

The funniest part about all of this were the responses:

Love it!

We're in!

Uh, I mean:

Whereas, I [read: Niusulu female parental unit{long-running inside family joke}] hereby respond in the affirmative, and assert my influence in persuading the other Niusulu familial units in participating in the aforementioned activities.

Whereas, as a self-alleged instigator of said rumors; and

Whereas, oral transmittance of alleged barbeque and movie delights are binding within the Nolan household; and

Whereas, the familial unit of Nolan-dom is in want for furtherance of bondance,

The Sortors kindly acquiesce to your generous invitation.

Addendum A- Lance is planning on doing some camping this weekend, so there might not be as much Lance/ Ella action.

Addendum B- Pulling the proverbial “pregnancy card” on the “little help in getting the garden in and planted” tid-bit (I tend to concur with Dave’s profound “garden sux”), but am happy to help wrangle los kiddos!

:D

Love y’all!
