What a busy weekend! It was fun, a lot of work, family time and full of friends old and new. On Friday night we went to a high school football game just to watch the halftime performance. One of my best friends youngest son is the drum major for the high school and I just had to see this young man perform. He was awesome. Such fun and we ran into old friends there and found out their kids are also in the band. It was their last game and well worth the drive to be entertained.
Saturday when the hubby got home we had to go out and find some old clothes from a thrift store to make him a Halloween costume. I know Halloween was over by this time but our friend waits to have her party after Halloween. It started out simple. He was going to be a hobo. Then I decided he looked to well dressed so I helped tear apart the costume and add a few tacky touches. We all thought he looked great. I even talked him into dancing the Time Warp with us. If you don't know what that is you really need to go to you tube and look for Rocky Horror. Anyone doing this dance has to laugh and have fun. He must have had a pretty good time because the only other time he has ever danced was at our wedding and that was only one song. Of course my oldest daughter was a pirate and the costume was really good. Started out a little short so we added some length before leaving home and a pair of shorts underneath for good measure. Our youngest put on Grumpy scrubs and went as a nurse. Me? Well I got in touch with my inner child. I dressed in flannel p.j.s and carried a stuffed bunny with my hair in pigtails and became a 3 year old again. Played that one up good, because for one night I could throw all the tantrums I wanted to and just get goodies to keep me quiet. To bad I can't play that card more often. But after we spent most of the morning getting costumes ready I had everyone get together to help move furniture up and down stairs. I used to think houses with an upstairs were beautiful and always wanted stairs. Be careful what you wish for because when you get old you may regret it. My knee is getting much better. Praise the Lord. But it still hates the trips up and down the stairs. But with all of that finished I still have a long way to go to get everything like I want it and a short time to complete it with the holidays coming.
Sunday was a fantastic day of worship. We opened the new Kidz Kindgom at Gardendale First Baptist Church. It was so great to hear the kids coming in laughing and so excited to be there. We got to see a live video shot of them having worship and everyone was so blessed to see all those sweet faces that God is going to be leading. I always enjoy my church family and the time we spend in worship together.
Today it is back to the housework and I can honestly say I am looking forward to getting started. The time change is both good and bad. I get sleepy earlier but that means I can get up and it is daylight sooner so I can get my day started and over with. As far as the diet goes I haven't lost anymore weight but I have been able to get my wedding rings back on, YEA!!!! I'll have to amp up my workout and start shedding the rest of these pounds.
I hope everyone has a blessed day and remember when you are feeling down or just feel like no one understands you. God understands. He formed you, loves you and only asks that you follow His word and love Him and tell others about Him. His love is unconditional.
