Veteran's Banquet

A friend from church asked if I would go and take pictures of our local VFW's Veteran's Banquet. K went along and was working as their sound guy. I took over 220 pictures!! I got some pictures of PM and C's son J in his uniform and M and her husband R where he is in his uniform. There are a couple that may be used in church on Sunday since Veteran's Day is coming up.

I ended up with no kiddos today so I have been working on some projects that are just easier to do without them around, editing some pictures, making some phone calls, things like that. I have even started searching for some new Christmas music to listen to. K thinks I'm crazy, but with the weather changing and the snow coming soon it just seems to set the mood.

New picture and a little of my babble

I took this picture a couple of weeks ago while the kiddos were playing outside. We had a hard frost and this tiny little flower had survived. The advice that I have gotten about my pictures is to use the little view finder instead of the big display screen that I have been using to frame my pictures and use more of mymanual settings rather than the automatic ones...and this is one of the first ones I took using that advice. K plans to use it in the loop of our opening announcements at church and put a Bible verse on it.

Miss A came in at 6:15 this morning...I will have them until a week or so before Christmas when they move. I haven't really had the kids for a month/month and a half or so and she seems like such a big girl now! On the plus side I got an early start to my laundry and checked a couple other things off my to do list while she was waking up and watching tv and we were waiting for the other kids!

I was asked to take pictures of the Veteran's Banquet that the VFW put on a week ago. I took 228 pictures! I will share some of those coming up and maybe one of K with our booth for the Awana Fun Fair! We had 68 kids come and they went home with big smiles and bags of candy!

Hope you all have a great day!

NaBloPoMo time again!!

I'm here!! I have been TERRIBLE about blogging this last month and I was thinking of this when I was reading Jen's blog the other day and she had a post about NaBloPoMo...I had so much fun with this last year and it was just the kick in the pants I needed to get going and blog again! Thanks Jen!
I almost forgot that today was Nov. 1 and blew it right away by not posting, this weekend went haywire I had so many things going on...only a couple didn't get done and K was a HUGE help! I have a couple new pictures I want to share with you all and I'm excited just to catch up with you all again...I have been reading all your blogs, just not posting on my own!
I've had a couple more changes in regard to daycare...I found out that Miss A, Slow mo, and Little C's Dad got a new job, but they will be moving a week before Christmas to a town about two and a half hours from here. Dad went back to work on Friday and I will have the kids occasionally again starting tomorrow until they move.
I have lots more I want to share with you all, but I am exhausted and I have an early start with Miss A in the morning so I'm going to call it a night and collapse into bed.
Big hugs!

This is choice number two....this is a difficult decision!! Tell me what you think!

Choices....

Jen asked about which picture I was going to choose to have enlarged. Right now this is the one that I am thinking about. I am still looking through some more of my cds that I have stored pictures on, but so far haven't found any other picture that call out to be enlarged. I will post any others that I'm thinking about and you can help me decide. What do you think?

Surprise!

Oh my goodness, I can not begin to describe what a wonderful day yesterday was! I had the day off and I slept in a bit and did some work around the house. I headed out to run some errands and I was in and out of the house for most of the day.
One of my stops was at PM and C's house to drop off a check and card for my half of the gift for the the bridal shower that was held at church last night, we were not going to be able to go because one of PM and C's sons had a football game (their boys are like little brothers to us and we follow them to as many games as we can). PM's brother had just arrived from Milwaukee and I had a short visit with him. He has been a great encouragement to me in my photography and has given me alot of great advice, it was great to catch up with him again! He let me borrow a book on composition for the afternoon and K and I were invited back to PM and C's for desssert when I could return the book.
In the meantime we found out that the football game was cancelled so K decided to take me out for supper at the new Mexican restaurant in town, YUM! I checked my emails when we got home and found an email that told me that I had won a giveaway I had entered!!! I won the E.L.F. Cosmetics giveaway over at Extraordinary Mommy!! I couldn't believe it, I have NEVER won a giveaway before!! I really am new to the whole make up scene ( I don't want to make this a "downer" post because I am just so excited, but to explain a bit; my Mom was diagnosed with Guillan Barre syndrome, a rare form of French polio when I was 4 and the years that she would have spent teaching me all of the things a girl should know about make up and things she was relearning to walk again and how to take care of herself and us again. I hate playing that "feel sorry for me card", that is really just not me, but Ihad to put it out there as an explanation of sorts...) so just the thought of winning this giveaway is overwhelming! I am still so excited!
Well to top it all off when we went to PM and C's for dessert and to return the book last night I had also taken along some of the pictures that I had taken. PM's brother wanted to see some of what I had done with my new macro lense and was giving me some more advise on composition when he told me that if I would email him one of my favorite pictures he would blow it up and send it to me so I would be able to hang it on my wall! I was shocked! He is a very accomplished photographer who has been published, does wonderful slideshows of his pictures with music, and has his own show in a gallery coming up this month in Milwaukee and he liked some of my shots and wants to enlarge one for me! Again, I can not tell you how excited I am! I had such a hard time getting to sleep last night! Now I have to dig through my files and find the picture I want to choose....
I really really hope this does not come across wrong in my writing but I was just so excited and wanted to share with you!!!

I'm still here

I know I know I haven't been posting again....real life just seemed to take over there for a bit. I did manage to finish knitting one scarf and I started a new project, a gift for Jen, lol which when I first started to type this I gave away, but caught myself before I hit publish lol! When that project is finished I am going to knit a gift for another friend. She loves to decorate with patriotic things and I saw some Sugar 'n Cream yarn in Early American Ombre and I knew that I had to do something for her with it! I looked on the internet and found a pattern for a dish cloth with a star pattern. It's all knitting and purling and I really like that they give you the option of the directions by sets of rows like Rows 1-5 K1P1 across, ending with K1 or they give you the pattern row by row. I think I am going to use the row by row option so I can cross each row off as I go along because I know how often I will be interrupted and think now where was I??!!

We had a bit of a sleep over with some of the daycare kids the other night. I got a call from Miss A, Slow Mo, and Little C's Mom asking if I could watch the kids about a quarter after 7 Monday night because they were taking their older sister to the hospital an hour away. She had a head ache that she just couldn't get rid of and after being to the local ER and not getting alot of answers, just meds that made her sleepy but didn't get rid of the pain, they decided to take her to a bigger hospital to rule some more serious problems out. The drs up there called it an a-typical migrane and gave her fluids, three different meds, and sent her home after she was feeling better. They finally got home around 1:30 Tuesday morning. I was going to just keep the kids until they woke up in the morning for school, but Little C woke up after having an accident and I didn't have any clothes to change him into, so Dad just came and picked them all up. I was exhausted! It took a while for the kids to get to sleep, they were so excited to be having a sleepover!! I had them all out on the sofa bed and they watched a movie turned on the naptime music once that was over and they finally all did sleep. I tried to lay at the foot of the bed and sleep some, but the boys kept kicking me in the back! K slept for as long as he could in the recliner, but finally gave up and went to bed around 12:15 (poor guy has to get up at 4:30 for work and the recliner isn't the most comfortable to sleep in...I really appreciated him sticking it out for as long as he could!) and after that there was definately no sleeping for me.
I didn't have any kids yesterday so I slept in a bit, but refused to take a nap so that I would be able to sleep last night. I lasted until 10pm and then I couldn't take it anymore! My head hit the pillow and I was out and didn't move until 6:15 this morning!
I've also been helping a friend get ready to open her new quilt shop. We had one in town, but they moved to a neighboring town and there are many who miss it, so she decided to rent a space on main street and open her own! I think it is a perfect fit for her, she does alot of quilting, and she used to be Amish, giving her shop a unique little fit. I have been entering her fabrics into the compter for her and picking out some that I want to use at the same time!! I am close to finishing my first quilt and can't wait to get started on more with some of the fabrics she has in the shop!
Well, this is getting terribly long so I guess I'll quit for now.....hope you all are having a great day! Big hugs!

An award!

Jen from Following the Footsteps gave me this award! Thank you so much Jen! It really means alot!!! It's my turn to pass it on now....I choose to give it to:

Steffie B. at ~Never Too Many~

Erin at Callie and Avery

Dani at Dani:Black Belt Stitching Wizard

Mir at Woulda Coulda Shoulda

and Jack's Mom at Jackaroo World

Thanks again Jen!!!

I'm posting and it's not Friday lol!

Labor Day weekend was GREAT! K took me shopping and bought me some new tops in a neighboring town and a friend had two boxes of easy piano music that she was getting rid of and gave me the first chance to go through and pick out any that I would like. I came home with one box full! I got alot of "oldies" music...books of hits from the 50's, 60's, and 70's and a few from the 80's and '00's. I think there are a couple of country hits books in there too. One of my favorites has quite a few songs from Disney movies and my favorite...Return to Pooh Corner! Yeah, I'm a big kid!
We survived our first day of preschool for Mr. T and R yesterday. It will be a bit interesting about lunch time. R will be getting off the bus and Mr. T will be getting on at the same time. We will have to do lunch in two shifts. It will be a bit nicer though, I was expecting one bus to come to drop R off and a half hour or so later another one stop to pick Mr. T up. Maybe this will make things a little less hectic.
Awana really begins tonight! We had a club night last week, but no sections were said, it was a get to know you night. I've already promised the girls that they can listen to my sections as I work through the book right along with them, as long as they are doing their sections. They seemed to like that!
Hope you all had a great weekend and are having a great day today!

Catching up again!

I guess I have a thing for blogging on Fridays huh?! I have been working on a couple of big projects that had to be done this week. I completely finished the first one and did my part on the second and now that they are all done things will get back to a more "normal" schedule. Whatever that is!
Our Awana year has officially started and I have a good group of 5th grade girls. I really enjoyed my first night with them!
I am also officially done teaching Sunday School. It is going to be a change, but I look forward to what I will learn and how I will grow attending the Ladies' class. Another one of our changes this year is that we will not be having our opening singing like we have in the past. We have had to move some classes around and one is in the back of our main auditorium, where we normally hold our opening, and we don't want to interrupt the class so for now no opening. We are hoping to get one room remodeled and the class can then go back into that room and we will have our opening again. I will help with that when it starts up again as the other teacher that has worked with me is gone often, and when she is there we hope to use her to play piano with some of the music for the kids. That is also the time we use for our Junior Choir to practice and at times we have parts and we need the extra teacher to help lead groups if they have different parts.
I have picked up a bit of a new job in Awana though. We are making quite a few changes there, a new database for all of our recordkeeping (which was what one of my jobs was...to get all the clubber and leader information typed in so it would be ready for our secretaries to use on our first club night), character studies for our council times, songs to match the theme, our theme nights to match if possible....lots of new things to try! We have also split up our music between four people instead of just one person doing it. This month is my turn. We are starting out with some songs that we learned in Vacation Bible School this summer. It went really well the first night!
Well, I need to get working on some PowerPoint so I had better stop babbeling! Have a great weekend!

Where did this week go??

Wow, with this new schedule the days are just flying by! I'm still trying to get used to getting up an ho ur earlier than I had been. It's been good, I've been getting alot more done, but I have been so tired at the end of the day! Monday I ate supper and the next thing I knew I was waking up at nine to go up to bed and I had no problem getting back to sleep and slept through the night!
The schedule is changing again as there were more let go from K's job and one of my daycare Dads was let go (Little C, Slo-Mo, and Miss A's Dad). Another friend of ours was let go as well. I will be done by about 4 at the latest now. Otherwise it will be noon on Tuesdays and Thursdays, one on Fridays, and three on Mondays and Wednesdays if I don't have L, Mr. T, and Tater. I don't know what will happen with the other three, their Dad was on the phone with "headhunters" all day yesterday and there has been talk about a move too. I have a few projects going on right now that I am not complaining about the extra time, but it is a hit to the pocketbook and sad to think about them moving. My daycare families are like family to us.
I am excited today...last night we recorded two radio messages and tonight we have music practice tonight!! We haven't had music practice in a LONG TIME!!! I also got some powerpoint to do after a month of not having any! And there was an extra worksheet to type!
We have a birthday party for Tater on Saturday and an Awana meeting on Sunday. It should be a fun filled weekend!
I hope you all have a great weekend too!

Too cute not to share!

I go around the table and give each of the kids a chance to pray before we eat lunch. Today Tater prayed "Thank you for my food, The End!"

Rainy day

Yesterday afternoon was alot of fun! C had ALOT of corn! I husked and she cut it off the cobs and mixed it with half and half (I think) and butter and baked it for an hour and then put it into bags to keep in the freezer. We had some good talks while we were working on that! PM and C are such an encouragement to me, such great friends, I am so thankful for them!
It's a rainy day today and I have three boys to keep busy! We've watched a little tv and now they are coloring. We will probably bring out the playdough at some point, and the big floor puzzles, maybe even a board game or two.
I'm still adjusting to the new schedule and getting up an hour earlier for R, the next door neighbor's little guy. We'll see how long I have to keep up this schedule, his Mom has a meeting about her financial aid to go back to school this afternoon. If it doesn't work out I don't think she will be able to keep going.
Tonight is meet the team night at school. I don't know how much "fun" that's going to be if it keeps raining. Hopefully they have a plan B!

First day of school!

Today is the first day of school! The daycare kids have a variety of feelings about this. L is quite happy and excited, T doesn't seem to care either way, and right now it really doesn't mean much to Tater. Miss C is the oldest sister in the other family and she has been panicked, she goes to Jr High this year and it is a whole new situation with no desk to leave her books in and going to a different room for each class. It will also be much bigger for her, she has gone to one of the outlying schools and their class sizes are much smaller, but they all come in to the school in town for Jr High and High School. Mr. C seems to be quite excited about it, I-man, I'm not sure about, and Miss A can't wait for her preschool to start. Things may slow down a bit work wise for me, we are still trying to work out a schedule or two. I have also picked up one more daycare kiddo for now....R from next door. His Mom is going back to school if she can get the financial aid. The problem is that her school starts today and she won't find out about her financial aid for sure until tomorrow after school.
I have R until about noon and Miss A is coming for an hour while Mom takes I-man to his school to meet the teacher for about an hour. After they leave I am going to go and hang out with C for a while this afternoon. They had another friend drop off some sweet corn and she asked if I would help her out taking care of it. I had yesterday off and sat around the house and did my Sunday School lesson, billing, laundry, made up some birthday and anniversary cards, and counted down the time until prayer meeting, so I was very happy to have the invitation to leave the house and spend time with one of my best friends!
Well enough babbeling for now, hope you all have a great day!
Hugs!

Elmo Live!

The kids had a great time! The boys Mom and I enjoyed last year's story a little better lol, but the kids were really into it and that's all that matters! And as a bonus they all slept on the hour drive home!!

Family Camp Weekend pictures!

The kids swam in the lake Saturday afternoon.

Fire at the campground Saturday evening

Watching everyone get ready and heading over to the lake for the baptism.

Four people were baptised!

Time to eat!

Setting up the bounce house for the kids

Enjoying one another's company

This is C. He is the "Grandpa" of the church. We all love him and look out for him.

Big kids having fun in the bounce house! I have to say I took my turn too! I think there may be a picture of me floating around out there too lol!

Catching up

I have started to blog at least four times in the last couple of days and something has always happened and I never get the post finished!
I have had the boys, who always keep me busy! Tonight Tater, his Mom, some friends, and I are going to see Elmo for Tater's birthday. We went last year for his brother's birthday and he liked it, except for when the characters started coming off the stage and into the crowd, then he tried to hide in his Mom's shoulder!
I edited a bunch of the Family Camp weekend pictures and went and got some copies made. 145 pictures cost me about $40! But, I made a bunch of copies for people who didn't have their cameras and wanted pictures. K found a trifold display board at Wal Mart and I put a bunch of pictures on there and put it up at church so those that couldn't be there can see some of what went on.
The other night K and I went out and watched some of the meteor shower. We saw quite a few! It was alot of fun, I've never seen anything like that and we had alot of fun just sitting there and talking!
Well, I need to get back to working on a welcome home banner for PM and C's son who is coming home soon from basic training, but later this afternoon or tomorrow I will be back to share some more pictures!
Hugs!

A bit of catch up

I am still working on editing pictures from our camp weekend. I took 235 pictures!! I am working on making a poster of different scenes from the weekend because there were quite a few who were not able to make it. K also took some video we are going to make some copies of...one of the couples that were baptised on Sunday were discipled by the wife of a missionary couple from our church who have since gone back to Brazil. No one thought that the husband would set foot in our church, let accept Christ, and go on to be baptised. Now that they both have, we can't wait to share the pictures and video with our missionary couple!
As soon as I get the pictures edited and order the ones I need I will share some here with you. I also have a couple of new projects to keep me going on my days off and another friend wants to get together one of these days too. I am excited because I haven't seen her in months because of her job!
Friday I have a date with Tater! His birthday is coming up. A big 3 year old! His Mom bought tickets for her, Tater, me, and one of his brothers to see Elmo! His brother is now wanting to back out, so we are trying to find someone closer to Tater's age for him to go with. I don't think he cares so much about that though...he keeps telling me Elmo birthday!!
Well, I was able to go and get another Zone Therapy treatment and it has relaxed me quite a bit and I hear my pillow calling.
Big hugs!

A short blog and the recipes I promised

Summer weather has arrived! It is 85 and humid today! We may hit 90 for the second time this summer!
We slept in this morning, and around 10:30 we got a call from PM and C asking if we had breakfast yet, and if not we should come over to their place. We headed over after K took the dogs out and I got some of the strawberry rhubarb bars on a plate to take over. We worked on a couple of projects while we were there and we came back home around one to finish up some things around the house before we go out to the campground. I'm going to take my camera along tonight, and tomorrow, so hopefully I will have some pictures to share with you next week.

Here are the recipes that I promised;

Coke Jello

2-3oz packages strawberry jello
dissolve in 1 and a half cups hot water
add 1 can Coke

Stir in 1 can cherry pie filling
chill til set
top with Cool Whip



Chocolate Eclaire Dessert
1lb whole graham crackers
2 pkg French vanilla instant pudding
Cool Whip

Topping: 1 oz unsweetened chocolate
2T. cornstarch
3T. milk
3T melted butter or margarine
1-1 and a half C powdered sugar
1 T. vanilla


Layer whole graham crackers in the bottom of a 9x13 dish. Mix Cool Whip into the prepared pudding; spread half of this mixture on top of graham crackers. Place another layer of graham crackers on top of pudding. Cover with remaining pudding mixture and another layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate at least 2 hours. Spread topping over graham crackers. Refrigerate overnight.



Strawberry Rhubarb bars

2 cups thinly sliced ruhubarb
1 and a half cups sugar
2TBL cornstarch
1/4 cup water
1tsp. vanillla
3 TBL dry strawberry gelatin
1 and a half cups sliced strawberries

In saucepan combine rhubarb, sugar, cornstarch, and water. Cook over medium heat until mixture is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla, gelatin, and strawberries. Let cool, meanwhile combine:

1 and a half cups oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar
1 and a half cups flour
1 tsp soda
1 cup softened butter

Mix all above ingredients until well blended and forms a crumb texture. Press 3/4 of mixture into a 9 x 13 pan. Spoon rhubarb mixture over crust and spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining crumbs over filling and bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes.

Day two

Day two of the four day weekend started out with rain. It rained for most of the morning and has sprinkled and misted off and on this afternoon. I slept in a bit and cleaned the house. I also did my baking and made Coke Jello for the potlucks Saturday and Sunday.
I don't think that we are going to go out to the campground tonight. I may make another batch of the strawberry rhubarb bars for us to keep at home and it sounds like I have some more typing coming too.
We didn't go out to the campground at all, we ended up making an impromptu trip to Wal Mart. We didn't need much, it was just fun to go out together.
Well, I'm headed off to bed, tomorrow I will try to remember to share the recipes that I used!

And the four day weekend begins!!!

Today is day one of my four day weekend! I almost ended up working today, but the boys Grandma has them instead. I didn't know if they were coming for sure or not, so I got up at the normal time and did my normal routine of shower and chores and things and it's a good thing I did. I got a call from PM and I went in to the church and made some copies and did some other preparations for the outdoor service on Sunday and made some copies for PM for his premarital councelling. That took care of most of the morning! I was glad to do it...I was wondering what I was going to do with myself with no Sunday School and no PowerPoint this week and a four day weekend!
I've been doing more laundry since I got home and I'm getting ready to work on the Hymn Book indexes that I have been slowly but surely plugging away at. I found out that I have another picture project to work on too! PM and C's son is graduating this year and his aunt is going to do a scrapbook for him and C told me that almost all of the pictures she has of J over the last three years are ones that I have taken. So, I'm going to go through my pictures and get copies made of the good ones and send them to the aunt so she can make the scrapbook. Again, a much needed project because I only work two days next week! And no PowerPoint again that week either!
I'm sure I will have lots of pictures to share after this weekend. I have heard that some are camping tonight for the family camp weekend, so we might head out to the campground (it's only a couple miles from my house) and see what everyone is up to tonight. We'll probably go and spend some time out there Friday and Saturday too. I don't know if we will camp or not yet, K may have to work on Saturday and camping and getting up at 4:30 in the morning just don't work well together for him!

Blog Hop~Encouragement

This week's blog hop is Encouragement. This picture represents encouragement to me in many different ways. This is a picture of the front of my church, so of course the first aspect is Spiritual encouragement. I can be down and discouraged and the teaching I get from our Pastor here always lifts me up and encourages me to be a better person in Christ. The second aspect of encouragement from here is family. My family is really not close, even though we live in the same town as my parents we don't see them that often..., and K's family is about ten hours away and there is a bit of trouble in relationships there as well, but there are a few in this church who have risen to the occasion, I guess you would say and become family to us. Their family is also far away and we have become a very close knit family of our own. When there are troubles and problems we go to them before our own blood related family....there are things that my "adopted" family knows about me that my blood relations do not. My "adopted" family just "gets me". I don't feel like the black sheep around them, I feel like I really do fit in and I have a place in the world! I feel that I am loved and I am told that I am loved! And of course following family there is the encouragement of friendship. I honestly have not had alot of friends, but in this church I have many. In our recent big storm I had people who called to make sure we were ok, I have people who stop and give me hugs and handshakes and smiles when I walk through the doors. I am so thankful for this church and all who are in it. This is one of my greatest sources of encouragement!

Another day off...

Not much going on around here today. Today is another day off. So far I'm working on laundry again and I've almost got that done. I've also painted my nails and caught up on some emails and things. This week I work Tuesday and Wednesday and then not until Monday and Friday of next week. This weekend is the church's family camp out weekend so it should be a good weekend to have a long weekend, but hopefully I can find a few more things to do!!
Oh well if nothing else I'll catch up on movie watching and I can always use the stitching/knitting time!

Wonderful weekend!

What a beautiful Sunday! A nice sunny day, about 80 degrees with just a little breeze!

We enjoyed a nice Sunday service, Pastor D was preaching and he spoke a little about the Tabernacle and the Ark of the Covenant to give a bit of context to the passage that he was preaching from in I Samuel 4 and it was especially exciting to me because that is what I am reading about in Exodus right now. He helped me to understand a couple of things that I was having a bit of difficulty with and I learned some new facts and he didn't even know it! I emailed him a little thank you earlier this afternoon and explained to him why I appreciated his message even more.

After church I went with B to the Art Show in the park just off the highway and held and turned pages of music for her as she played the piano for a little atmosphere music for a half an hour. They paid her ten dollars and she split it with me. That was kind, I just enjoyed doing it and listening to her play!

Otherwise I have spent a nice quiet afternoon at home doing some more Bible reading. I made it up through chapter 26 in Exodus and needed a bit of a break so I went back to my reading in Matthew 19. I am really enjoying my new study Bible and all the notes it has! The only problem is that it's taking me a lot longer to read as I am reading the notes and jotting notes of interest to me, and words that I need to look up in my notebook! I am getting a better understanding of some verses though, so it is worth it!

Now, I'll leave you with a few pictures from our weekend from my cell phone:

Walking home from the park on Friday! Miss A and Mr. T holding hands....she calls Mr. T and his brothers "her boys"!
Tonic Sol-Fa an acapella group that we went to see Saturday night in a neighboring town. Some friends had extra tickets and I had everything caught up so we went and we really enjoyed it! They have been seen on the Today show and are up for some Emmys! Their harmonies were great and we were especially impressed with the bass, he could get so low! It really sounded almost like they had some background music, but you could tell it was their voices...they did some really cool things. They were alot of fun too, they picked on one guy in the front in a Hawaiian shirt for quite a bit of the show and the guy really fed into it too. He even bought the guys bottles of water while they were on stage! It was a great family show! We bought one cd and the guys were kind enough to autograph it afterwards!

Quiet weekend?!

My unplanned day off on Thursday was very productive. I finally caught up with quite a few things, and as I thought the only thing that I was not able to check off my list of things to do was to watch The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe, which is not a big deal, I will have plenty of time to watch it. Looking at my schedule I only work Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
My day was not without drama though, I had just put the last load of laundry in and was sitting down to eat something at about 7:30 that night when I got a phone call asking what was going on at church and why there were firetrucks out there. I had no clue and took off driving like a mad woman....SO thankful that I didn't get a ticket!! I was able to speak to a police officer who told me that there was a gas leak at a neighboring business and they were just parked in the parking lot. Whew!
I ended up with the whole crew for a while yesterday. They were all good and we spent the morning at the park letting them run off some energy.
We went out for supper with some friends as a repayment for some work that K had done on their computer and went out for root beer and vanilla ice cream after we had hung out and caught up for a while. We decided to go on a drive instead of heading right home afterwards and we were both so tired we went to bed before 10pm! I even slept through until 8:30 this morning!!
K had to work so I cleaned house and did a load of laundry while I waited for him to get home. He finally got home around one and we've just been hanging around the house since doing some blog and Bible reading. We are planning on heading out to a neighboring town to a concert tonight, we may head out a little earlier if things go well, the town is having a big celebration this weekend and there is alot going on around town to check out.
Hope you all are having a great weekend!!
