Weekend update

* On Friday Bryce challenged the first chair trumpet in the 7th grade band and won!
* Paige and I went to see High School Musical 3 with our friends, great pre-adolescent girly entertainment.
* On Saturday I took Ty and a friend to scout day camp. I thought I was going to have to stay all day with them, but they didn't need me, so I got to go shopping instead :)
* While I was gone, Dave purchased a piano! We saw it at a garage sale down the street. It is pretty ugly and needs some work. But, Dave is thinking about refinishing it (he is not afraid to take on any project!) and even with the work it needs I think we got a good deal.
* Dave was given a third calling at church today! Besides being a primary teacher and webelos leader he is now the cub master. He says, "As far as I can tell all the cubmaster does is conduct pack meeting." So, he thinks he can handle all that responsibility :).
* In the last few days I actually did a little scrapbooking. It feels like it has been forever, and I really need a creative outlet!

Photo Tag

My friend Judy had this tag on her blog.

Go to my pictures on your computer go to the 6th folder and choose the 6th photo in that folder.

I followed her example and have two because #6 in my pictures was just a picture, not in a folder (me at my 2nd birthday party) so, I posted it plus the one in the 6th folder which was not photos, but Paige's art work (She drew this mermaid in 2nd grade, I think).

Look what I found on my camera today!

This will teach them to play with my camera :)

Brett quote of the day

Last night as Brett snuggled up with me he said, "You're the most comfortable thing in our house."

A mimerick for londay

Runny Babbit style:

There once were kour fids who were bad.
They were saughty and nelfish and mad.
My mead they nade ache,
I nure seeded a break.
When they all bent to wed I was glad!

A suprise visit

Yesterday, after church I got an unexpected call. My brother, Chad, who has been working temporarily in Houston, was thinking about driving over. He arrived (in record time) with his girlfriend, boss and a puppy. I fed them a not very exciting dinner of chicken enchiladas, showed them around our place and visited before they had to head back. It is very rare for us to get family to visit so everyone was excited. The kids loved the puppy, especially Paige. We also found out that Chad will be in Houston for Thanksgiving and may even have a couple of his kids with him so, we invited them all to come back then, when we can show them around more. And the kids are thrilled at even the thought of having cousins visit our house. Hopefully, it will all work out. We would love to have family here for Thanksgiving!

Twilight

I admit it, I have read all the "Twilight" books. I liked them. Some more than others. There were definitely some parts I didn't like, but they were fun to read. I am looking forward to the movie. For all you other Twilight readers, here is a little quiz to see which character you are most like.
