Sweet Sweet Family Time

Yesterday Mom & Dad came down to spend the weekend with us. The boys were really excited to have "Mimi & Papaw" spend the night with them. Mom, the boys, & I tried to go shopping yesterday afternoon but we only made it to Lifeway Bookstore before the power outage put a bit of a damper on things so Dad & Justin just met us at O'Charley's for dinner. After dinner Mom, Ryley, & I went to Books A Million and Kroger. Dad wasn't feeling well this morning so they went ahead and went back home. Today has been a quiet relaxing day full of sweet sweet family time--something we haven't enjoyed alot of this summer due to our unusually busy schedules the last several weeks. We fixed one of the boys' favorite meals for lunch today--chicken soft tacos w/ rotel dip & chips. After lunch we Just laid around and watched "Nim's Island" and "The Last Mimsy" together. Both were really good movies. This evening we went to Awana and evening worship. The youth group led the service tonight. They started the service with an "Apathy Party" in which nobody was allowed to have any fun or show any happy emotions. If you showed happy emotions one of the youth would make you wear a paper sack over your head for 1 minute. Anyway the point was it just doesn't make sense to go to church and with an apathetic attitude. Our Lord does deserve better than that!! It was very interesting. The youth group did a great job!! After church we stopped by Justin's mom's house for a little while. Then we came home and Ryley & I mixed up a batch of fudge brownies. While they were baking we ate a supper of junk food (frozen burritos and pizza rolls) which is really rare for us but I guess every now & then a junk food supper won't kill us!! LOL!! After supper we enjoyed our still warm brownies with vanilla ice cream! I talked to Mom & Dad & thankfully Dad is feeling better tonight. Well I have let the kids say up late since no school tomorrow but they're getting cranky so I better put them to bed!!
