Weekend Update

A busy weekend for us included going to the Arcola Broomcorn Festival. We never stay to watch the famous parade, though. It's too crowded by that time. Plus, it was scorchingly hot and humid on Saturday.

We walked around the downtown area, checking out the vendors and the food. Of course, we spent most of our money on food: taffy and sugared pecans. DD wanted a fairy halo (a circular star crown with flowing ribbons down the back), and they were a dollar so we bought her one of those. Poor kid was tuckered out with all that walking.

Then we had to go to Wal-Mart and pick up a few things. We were home by 3:30 and MIL called to see if DD was ready to spend the night at her house. She was able to leave work earlier than she thought, so DH took DD over to her store and then came back to pick me up.

We went out for a nice dinner at our favorite restaurant, and then it was on to the movie. Luckily, we caught an early show at 5:50, rather than having to wait until 7pm and pay full price. (The movie was not worth the full price!)

When we got home, we watched the end of "LoTR: RoTK" on DVD, and then I was asleep by 10:30pm! I couldn't help it. I was just so exhausted. DH said he stayed up until 3am.

On Sunday, we attended DH's family reunion. Everyone seemed a little out of sorts. I don't know why. People tended to stay in their own family groups. When we got home, we ate dinner and then I gave DD a bath. She went to bed soon after. DH watched football games, and I read a book.

And now it's Monday again. I hope the week passes quickly.
