Friday we met up with some friends at the Kentucky Wool Fest in Falmouth. The kids loved the farm animals and momma loved the food! Lots and lots of yummy food. There were also several tents full of crafts. I could have come home with a ton of cool items but my hubby is handy and crafty. He is going to try to make some things for me.
Saturday we were back at the soccer field for Meredith's game. Mere's godmother and my bestie came up to watch her play. Their team is still undefeated and Mere had 2 goals. After the game we let the soccer star pick a place to eat lunch! I was not surprised when she choose Skyline. Her and Max's favorite place to eat is Skyline. That evening we decided to go to church and sleep in on Sunday. Weekends are so busy and I need to do a better job of making it to mass. This summer we got side tracked and my goal is to make it a weekly occurrence. I can hear my dad in my head saying "you better get your behind to mass". Although, I don't feel the need to tag my self in church to prove to others how good of a person I am. Because let's be real. lol. I am far from it. I just chuckle to myself (and maybe text Leann each Sunday....but I will never tell!) when I see some people who want so badly to be perceived as this all holy Christian person. You gotta do better than that. Just because you go to church each Sunday does not make you holier than thou. Maybe they are trying to prove to themselves they are a good person and to others that really know their true colors. Whatever their reasons more power to them. I know I am a work in progress. On another note, the kids and I are super excited for Nick. A few months ago, he made the decision to go to RCIA class and become Catholic. I cannot tell you how excited this makes me for our little family. I feel so blessed that Nick made this decision for our family. I know how proud my dad and grandmothers would be as well. My grandma Darnell would always tell me in my early 20's how she prayed that I would find a nice Catholic boy! Of course she loved Nick regardless of him not being Catholic but this is just icing on the cake. Saturday evening the kids had a surprise for me. They made me stay upstairs while they put it together. They planned a movie night all decked with a little movie bar (blankets, movies to choose from, popcorn, drinks, and a little basket for phones to go in). We had to have a vote on which movie to watch. Charlotte's Web won in a tie breaker!!
Sunday the Ladies Auxiliary put together a shop and sip event as a fundraiser! The proceeds went to a wonderful cause. There were so many different booths to shop from. I was excited to score a fire wreath and bracelets for Mere and I. We then went and visited a dear friend and her baby boy. The kids love babies (and so does momma!!). We loved getting sweet baby snuggles from Gage and of course, seeing my friend Jenn. She just moved into a beautiful new home not far from me. I am thrilled to have a friend close by and need to make an effort to be a better friend. I get so focused on what is in front of me with the kids, keeping the house running, work, and running, running, running , that I have become a bad friend. I miss just hanging out with friends! That is another goal I plan to work on. The rest of Sunday was spent trying to relax and get ready for the upcoming week. Sunday's I always sit down and write down our weekly schedule to hang on the fridge. I still carry my planner as well wherever I go. Those are my attempts to remain sane!
