Busy, busy, busy...again

Boy have we had a busy couple of days! I started my weekend with a Friday night girls night out celebrating a friends 30th birthday. All the chocolate fondue you would want! Yummy :) Saturday started with Brian mowing the lawn. Savannah and I did some picking up around the house (ok, she played quietly in her playroom while I picked up the rest of the house. Sounds like she isn't doing much but it was actually a HUGE help). After a quick trip to Costco, which helped me remember why I don't ever go there on a Saturday, we headed home to get ready for:

This year we decided to get season tickets to the UCF football games. Our church buys a block of tickets together so we were sitting around a bunch of people we know. Savannah had a wonderful time! It took her about a quarter to take it all in and then she started having a grand time :) She enjoyed watching everything going on around her. During half time she was dancing all over the place imitating the visiting teams cheerleaders. She partied hard until about 3/4 of the way through the third quarter. Then she went down hill fast :) I should mention that the game started at 6:00. She slept through most of the last quarter. Poor Brian carried her back to my brothers house where we had parked. But, all in all we had a great time!

Sunday we had some friends over for lunch after lunch. Savannah enjoyed playing with her friend out in the backyard in her swimming pool and water slide. We enjoyed hamburgers and hot dogs from Cavalaries (a local butcher) and had a good time watching the girls play.

On Monday we has another grill out with our small group from last year. The kids all had a wonderful time playing together! There was a bouncy house, sand box and little tykes stuff to play with in the backyard. They also enjoyed all the toys in the house. I tried two new recipes and they both went over well. One was a mixed bean dish that I got out of a Taste of Home. It was really good! The other was a banana cake I have been wanting to try for a while but I needed an event to take it to so that I would not have an entire cake sitting at home :) It was really nice to have a chance to catch up with our friends after going our separate ways over the summer. I look forward to more fellowship time with them.

Savannah had a very clingy day today. She is having a hard time with the adjustment of me not being at the preschool this year. I find it funny because she never saw me when I did teach there but I guess it is just the idea of me not being there that is upsetting her. She actually started crying when I dropped her off! I had to carry her through the door to get her to go in. When I picked her up she kept telling me that she didn't want me to leave her there and go away without her. I would have thought she would let it go. It didn't help that I had bunco tonight, too. So, as I was leaving I could her sobs of "mommy stay home" in the background.

Today was the first day of WOW (women of the word) at my church. It was nice to meet the new members that are in my group. We are studying Daniel by Beth Moore. I am really looking forward to this study!
