A Lovely Weekend
We had an amazing time this weekend. The Dora party was a big hit. My mom made Jordyn a darling Dora dress complete with matching purse and hat. The hat was so big that we all took turns wearing it. Jordyn had the greatest time. Dora was a prominent theme in the gift department.
Late Friday we started playing dominoes. We are a HUGE domino family. We love 42, 80 and 88. It was fun listening to little comments my mom would make about what my grandad would have been saying had he been there. My favorite was, "let's bid marks, it's almost time for the news". We all truly miss him.
Sunday was interesting. We all went to my parents church. I waited until Saturday to tell Jim that we had to leave our house no later than 8:00. We actually walked into their church at 8:28. Amazing. Makes me wonder why we are sometimes late to Sovereign Grace which starts at 10:00.
The boys went to the Diamondbacks game while us girls went shopping. My nieces introduced me to a store called Forever 21. Wouldn't that be nice. Apparently that is the place to shop on a budget.
It was great spending time with family. The weekend went way too fast. My brother Don and his family are still here so the kids are enjoying cousin time. We so miss not living near cousins!!
As for revenge, I ended up soaking my brother's toothbrush in vinegar. Not totally original, but the best I could do in my short window. In hindsight, I wish that we would have left my parents church and then pulled into Sovereign Grace and told him that we were now going to our church. That would have put him over the edge.
