It's just that Sunday night is a night when I think about what's gone on all weekend. This weekend was a good one. Friday night we went out to eat at Panera for dinner (love that Strawberry Poppy-seed salad!) Saturday we visited with Papa and had a good visit. He was glad to see us - and Bennett was thrilled to see the big lift thingy get Papa out of bed and into the wheelchair. Then we ate lunch at Davenport's pizza (the BEST pizza + free tootsie roll pops when we leave). We went on a hunt for pants for Brad. Not much luck - he's just too tall and skinny (a problem I will never be faced with). We were able to find him a pair of jeans at Lucky. Lucky is right. Everyone else told us that we'd have to have them tailor-made. I'll keep looking - shopping IS one of my specialties :)
Bennett spent the entire day asking when he could go to Gigi's house. Actually, he started asking on Thursday morning - he had been packed up (mostly with Planet Heroes) and ready to go since early Saturday morning. Thankfully, Gigi said we could come shortly after 2. So, without even pretending that he would miss us, we left Bennett and Gigi for the night and I went to Sumatanga for Heather's Emmaus Walk. What a blessing. If you haven't been on an Emmaus Walk do it - do it now. You will never feel such love and closeness with God. Amazing. I'll sponsor you - just ask me :) You will not be sorry. I promise.
Today we went to church, which was great. Our Sunday School was back to it's super-size now that school has started. I loved seeing everyone - and was blessed by a great reminder about missions. We had lunch at Moe's, where Bennett announced 'If you stink, people might think you are from Paris'. Not sure where he got that, but it brought a good round of laughs to the table :)
Finally, Bennett and I went to see The Clone Wars this afternoon. I fell asleep during the movie but Bennett loved it. So, it was worth it :) When we came home he 'accidentally' drenched me with the hose (while I was holding all of my church materials, calendar, and purse). After being mad, I decided that the better thing would be to turn the hose on him. After a few fake tears he realized that it was funny, and we were both better off... All in all, a good weekend.
There's lots to look forward to this week: spending time with friends, a church meeting on Tuesday, school meetings and volunteering, scrapbooking next weekend (two WHOLE days), Julie's and my CAbi party on Thursday, carpool, tae kwon do. Looks like it will be a good week!
So, now Sunday is coming to a close, and I'm thankful for Sunday. It's been a good day - a good close to a good weekend, and a good opening to a new week.
