This past Saturday Knight #1 got to go for his very first fishing tourney! He was sooo excited that he hardly slept a wink the night before. Then he was up super early and daddy took him to the church to head out. The competetion was between the middle school youth group and the high school group.

I was attending a CPR class at the church all afternoon. Oh, what fun that was!  My arms and legs were sooo tired after leaning over the practice dummy and pushing on it's chest for so long. I think I saved that dummy's life many times over! LOL

I had time to run home for a bit before I had to go back out to get Knight #1. Sure wish I'd thought to bring my camera!! Knight #1 was soooo exhausted by that time that he could hardly see straight! He had caught a 4 oz Snapper. He had also caught numerous other fish which he didn't keep. Not sure why he didn't keep them.

They cleaned his snapper for us and gave us an extra one. I rolled them in corn meal and fried them up. Knight #1 was too tired to stay up for dinner and went to bed shortly after coming home. He got back up awile later and was then able to eat his fish and the rest of his dinner.

Then Monday night was Keepers at Home for Maiden. That is a group for young ladies to learn to be Godly wives and mothers. They memorize scripture and learn how to do many domestic type things. Maiden is LOVING being a part of this group. I usually bring her and stay to be with her. It is meant to also be a bonding thing for mothers and daughters. However, I wasn't feeling so well Monday night so daddy dropped her off and then picked her up a bit later.

Maiden was soooo excited when she came home! Each of the girls in her class (they have the girls separated according to age groups) had received a little sewing kit and they are learning to make 9 patch quilts! The really cool thing about this is that we have been reading "Little House on the Prairie" for school and it keeps mentioning Laura and Mary working on their 9 patch quilts!  I'm really excited for Maiden because this is something I wanted her to learn, but I've never gotten around to teaching it to her. Well, I wouldv'e had to learn it myself first!

Last night I had to go to a Board meeting. I love these meetings! My fellow board members are such awesome people! Knight #1 was at youth group. Daddy dropped me off at my meeting first and then Knight #1 at his thing. Then he and the other to went back home for a while, during which time our neighbor stopped by and dropped off a flyer inviting us to a fall festival at her church. She told them that they are doing costumes.

Now our kids have never done costumes for halloween. Ever. So this will be a totally new experience for us! Knight #2 wants to be a robot, Maiden wants to be a princess and Knight #1 hasn't decided what he wants to be yet. I just told them that they may have to just choose from what is available. I will have to get pictures to post on here!
