Where did the weekend go?

Do you ever wonder where your weekend went? We just had a weekend like that. Ken worked on the school rehab project with our church both Saturday and Sunday from 8-1. On Saturday he power washed and on Sunday he painted an office. Next weekend is the big celebration at our church and I think that will be when they present the pastor with his Harley Davidson.

On Saturday, after he got home, we got a pizza and went to the park for the evening. Some guy at the park gave Brad a basketball to keep. He said that Brad looks like he'll be a basketball player someday and I said, "I hope so!". There were a few birthday parties in the park that night and there were large extended families present which always makes me sad to see because I know that it will never be like that for our kids. But it was fun to watch the kids at the party smash the pinata and grab up the candy.

Then we went home, put the kids to bed, and went out with some friends from Talbot. My friend Ginny came and stayed at our house while we were out. We met our friends at TGI Fridays and got dessert. It was fun to just get out, even for a short time.

Today, on the way home from the service project, Ken stopped to get gas. The car wouldn't start when he tried to leave so he called a friend who lives nearby. The 2 of them pushed the car across the street to a Pep Boys (that was convenient!) and they determined that it was a dead battery. So, Ken left the car, his friend drove him home, and then I went grocery shopping while the kids took a nap. When I got home, Ken said that the car was done and ready to be picked up.

So, we drove to get it. Ken took Sky inside because she has been very interested in mechanic shops lately. We've been playing mechanic on the patio with our riding toys. So, this was a fabulous opportunity to show her the real thing. The other day we opened the hood of my car to show her the engine. Her eyes were really wide. I don't think she had any idea of what was under that hood.
