So we all had a nice weekend this weekend. Friday was nice and warm so Maddy and I spent a lot of time outside. If you want to see pictures you can see them here. Matt had a guys night out on Friday night and hung out at Josh's house with the guys. I think he had a good time! Saturday we were busy doing house stuff and we ran a few errands, but nothing too crazy. There was some tea i wanted to buy at World Market for an outing I had on Sunday and I wanted to look for some stuff at Target (another set of towels and throw pillow before they went out of stock) so we went to do that. Sunday morning I prepped both lunch and dinner before church and we went to church.
Maddy is such a good little girl in church. It's funny though. She's figured out how to get out of church! If she says she has to go potty she KNOWS we will take her out! HA! Well, there are worse ways to get taken out of church, so I'll take it.
Sunday afternoon I had an author reading for Life is a Verb. I don't know if you remember, but I mentioned that I received a complimentary book for entering a contest, of sorts. Life is a Verb is a compilation of blog entries written by Patti Digh for her daughter with inspirational messages but expanded and with really neat artwork. She has a blog, 37 days. It's called 37 days because she started writing it after her step-father passed away in the course of 37 days from cancer. It inspired her to write for her daughters. Well, anyway, she asked if we would write what we would do for our last 37 days and I wrote in. Here's my entry: http://37days.typepad.com/37days/2008/08/day-3-do-37-thi.html
So anyway, she was in town doing a reading and I brought my inscribed book with me along with some more coconut chai tea. I sent her some previously, knowing she would like it and she did. She did so much that she went searching for it and couldn't find it anywhere. So I thought I would restock her, at least for a little while. It was a lot of fun going to see her and hearing her read her book excerpts. Really cool!
But yeah, that was our weekend! This week I have Bunco night and also coffee night and I'm looking forward to both. Maddy has her two classes and I think I will also offer to host playgroup on Thursday as well. I'm contemplating going into DC with Maddy for Veteran's day on Tuesday given what the weather will be like. She'd love to ride the train again and we'd probably just go to Arlington Cemetery.
Tea of the day: Coconut Chai, what else?
