Nice Weekend

We've had a busier than usual but nice weekend. I picked up the little girls from daycare Fri. at 5:00 and kept them until about 5:00 Sat. I know why most people have their kids when they're younger!

Sat. night we were invited to a Sweetheart Dinner with 11 other couples from church. It was a mix of couples that know each other and those that didn't. Two couples planned it together and made the food, etc. As we went in the door, they had hats, boas, and some fake flowers and we had to pick our props and have our picture taken together in a couple of different poses. That was good entertainment as more people came in. I finally asked what they were going to do with the pictures and one of our Elders said "one for you, one for church on the big screen, and one for the paper". And I thought he was a quiet kind of guy! Then we had our dinner of lasagna, rolls, a couple of salads, fresh fruit salad and choice of a frozen chocolate dessert or strawberry pretzel dessert. Then we did a fun, mixer type game to get to know each other followed by the men answered 4 questions about their wives on paper and the women answered 4 questions about their husbands. Like what tool best describes your husband and why and what kitchen gadget best describes your wife. The last one was what marriage advice would you give to others. We had to read the answers to the group. Everyone left around 9:30 so nice evening in a beautiful old home.

Lacey and I made Jackpot Drop Cookies so I packaged up some to take to the party hostesses using my Stampin' Up! supplies. I stamped the "for you" and punched it out with our scalloped circle punch and tied it on with some of our ribbon.

Today was church this morning and then we were hoping to watch the Daytona NASCAR race but it's rain delayed until tomorrow. It's been very, very windy today. We had some shingles blow off that Bill has to fix in the morning.
