This weekend, while Jason was at COSM
Conference in Orlando, I intentionally loaded Saturday's schedule with the
intent of keeping Sunday FREE! We all needed a down day, a day to stay in our
jammies until it was time for bed again (if we so desired).
We started the morning at the Daniel Boone Regional Library semi-annual Children's Book Sale. This sale is "epic" (to coin a phrase from the uh, younger? crowd). We had a mission: to search only for treasures because one of the last things we need in this house with 13 overflowing bookshelves is more books. But I went anyway (like any good bibliophile would). We found 45 books, mostly hardcover, for $21 (including four Where's Waldo, Graeme Base, Berenstain Bears, Dr. Seuss and some beautiful picture books). Seriously. You can't BEAT THAT! While in line we found out that Nate's EEE summer school teacher will be Mrs. Elletson--his friend Alex's mom! Fun!
We arrivd at the Woodcrest North campus prayer event just in time for a cinnamon roll, coffee and a tour before the more formal ceremonies started at 10:30. We left with cool chalkboard prayer mugs to write the names of the people whose stories we hope to see changed, "change their story...change out story...change MY STORY!" Exciting times for Woodcrest and the Northside community.
From prayer to sparring. Saturday taekwondo to make up for the class he missed Wednesday with his ear infection. He's looking strong during practice. He's getting back into his groove after the spring break...just in time for belt testing next week.
As taekwondo was ending, I called an order in to Vici at Flat Branch for the new residents luncheon. We arrived just before our food arrived. The timing was spot on. We briefly met Tiffany and her husband, Wes. They had a full schedule that weekend and had to leave shortly after we showed up. I caught up on a little of the ENT resident gossip while Nate and Jake looked for Waldo.
Home for a short stint outside on the trampoline and iPad time.
Then we left for 5:15 service. Home by 6:45. Love it.
What I loved even more was sitting outside on a BEAUTIFUL Spring Sunday morning sipping coffee in my jammies...with NO WHERE TO BE! Throughout the day I did yardwork, cleaned my paper piles in the living room, entertained the new neighbors, chatted with almost the entire cul-de-sac, bbq'd venison sausage on the grill, and, yes, stayed in my jammies until bedtime!!
