A FUN Weekend 8-7-06

After a very boring week, we had a spectacular weekend! Friday evening we had friends over and ordered pizza. Later, we put Landon to bed and played games into the wee hours of morning. This particular friend I have not really been in contact with since high school, and just recently found out that she lived near me. Our first get together was a BIG hit...her and her husband were so much fun! Saturday we went to my grandparents pool for the day and then later took Landon down to the town fair (called the Peach Festival). I have to say that it is not much (very small town), but when I was a young teen, and pre-teen that was the place to be. It brought back a lot of memories to be down there, but now that I have a child and am married and have moved past that era, I really have no desire to go back. I saw a lot of things in that short time at the fair, that I could really go without . Anyway...Sunday was a wonderful day or worship and napping (we were all tired). Then last evening we went over to my sister-in-laws and they made us a wonderful dinner of shishkabobs and rice. Awesome! After that we went down to the park and she worked her magic with the camera. I have only had the priveldge of seeing a few of the shots...but as always, she is absolutely amazing.  Her work has been hung in a local Starbucks for 6 weeks and a hospital is looking to pick up her work for their maternity ward. She really is incredible...and I am so proud of her!

Today was spent grocery shopping and playing outside. Landon is finally better...PRAISE THE LORD!!! It was a stretch for me to let him go to Sunday school yesterday...all those germs, but as a measure of faith that he will be protected, I let him go  If it were up to me...the kid would live in a bubble. He is sick entirely too much. But can't do that...so I sent him off to the wolves, praying that God will boost his immune system.

A few cute Landonisms:

* This weekend we took Jonathan's car everywhere to save on gas and miles. Landon has not ridden in there in quite some time so he was very excited about it. Numerous times this weekend he would pipe up from the back of the car, "This is a very nice car, Daddy!" Then, "Did it cost a lot of money?"

* When Landon wants something or is trying to get out of trouble, he now tacks on the word 'Honey". Ie: after peeing his pants, and trying to assure me that he should not be in trouble he says, "It is ok, Honey!" It is just a little bit, Honey." By the way, potty training really has gone well for months now. We only have occasional accidents! Hooray!!!

*Landon woke up screaming this morning. When I went in there he kept saying (through his hysterical hicups), "I don't want anybody to get Mommy." Poor kid had a dream that someone was chasing his mommy...and it made him hysterical. Yeah, he loves me .
