Busy Weekend

My mind has gone blank....for a second.

This past weekend was a busy one at our house. We have been busy trying to get the "big house" organized and situated. It's tough work moving. So on Friday, I took the day off so I could get some things done while Millie was at the babysitter's house.

On Saturday, we just played around and I tried to organize things while Millie was napping. Then PaPaw came down to visit. We hung out with him and watched a movie.

Millie and I decided to finally paint the birdhouse that Nana and Papa gave Millie. We got all suited up and went outside to paint. She and I both had a great time (will post a picture of the final product later).

On Sunday, we all slept in and I got up and cooked us breakfast - scrambled eggs and Buckwheat pancakes with walnuts. Then Millie and I got ready for church so Jacade could spend a little bit more time with his dad. As soon as church was over, we drove home and picked Jacade up - we were going to the circus!!! (can you believe I forgot my camera?)

The circus was a lot of fun. I was given free tickets at the newspaper; so we took advantage of them. And Millie seemed to enjoy it too, although she got a little sleepy towards the end. We saw an "Educated Mule" that knew addition, subtraction and his numbers. We watched some very talented doggies perform all sorts of tricks; camels that performed tricks too, as well as three large elephants. It just amazed us that they could perform those tricks; so smart.

And the last event was the human cannonball. It was loud but didn't seem to scare Millie at all. We went back home and she fell asleep on the way home but wouldn't take a nap afterwards. Oh well. She stayed with Mawt Maw while Jacade and I went back to church for a special guest that they couldn't reveal who, because of security reasons.

When we arrived at 5:30 (church to start at 6) the church was packed. Overflowing. Everyone was very curious. Some people got there as early as 4:30 to get a good seat. We had to sit in the foyer because there wasn't any room inside.

Finally, the service began and after the music, they introduced the surprise visitor. It was the "43rd President of the United States - George W. Bush." And everyone believed it till he finally told everyone he was an imposter. He had a good testimony and the whole scene was too funny.
