This weekend - the good, the very ugly and much more GOOD

GOOD: We started this weekend with a fun Veggie Tales Show at our church!  It was a blast.  Will had so much fun dancing in the isles and singing to his favorite songs.  Bob and Larry are by far his favorite characters and everytime they left the stage he leaned over and asked, very concerned, "Mommy, where are Bob and Larry?".  When they returned, he would cheer wildly!! So precious.  It is a delight to watch him watch, learn and discuss all the many bible stories he learns through Veggie Tales. 

 

After Veggie Tales, Will went over to Grannie Annies and Grandpa's for the night! He had a delightful time playing, watching movies and enjoying his grandparents.  It was a blessing for him to spend this time, while Don and I were able to go out to dinner and spend a whole evening together!

BAD: Saturday afternoon, we picked him up and headed to Octoberfest in downtown McKinney.  We should have taken it as a sign, when I dropped my phone and it shattered, that this was not going to be an ideal evening. 

We didn't find many kid-friendly activities to do; however, Will did enjoy the petting zoo.

BAD:  Unfortunately, we were all worn out by the events that evening, and poor Will was exhausted, hungry and let us know the majority of the walk back to the car! Through the crying and complaining, Don realized that somehow the key to our car had fallen off our keychain somewhere trampsing around the event and we had no way of getting into or driving our car home.  After a LONG wait for a taxi, we were delighted to have a very nice driver, who drove us all home to pick up our extra key, drive Don back to the car and finally end our evening with a LATE dinner at home.  Needless to say, it was a LONG evening.

MUCH MORE GOOD: Sunday was much better!  I was fortunate to be able to spend time with some good friends while sprinkling our sweet friend with gifts for her precious baby boy due in a few short weeks.  While I was with the girls, Don took Will over to Nini's home to spend a fun filled afternoon with her and Will's uncles, Aunt and cousin.  During this time, Will had a ball riding around in Uncle Ray's newest  ambulance and a WWII jeep.  Pictures are coming soon of this adventure!

Overall, a good weekend....we will just write off Saturday evening and focus on the fun and family we had the rest of the weekend! 

We are blessed with a great family and wonderful friends!
