Well...

It started out as a good weekend...
Friday evening, I was feeling pretty decent so I called up my bestest and we went walking. It is the first exercise I have had in quite a bit (since it is currently against doctor's orders). Matt and the girls hung out with their bestest's and played. They were filthy by nightfall. We brought the girls home and ordered out (Cracker Barrel- Friday nigh fish fry). Sweet Pea and Pumpkin Pie had their first sleep overs. Pumpkin Pie went with my and her bestest and Sweet Pea's bestest stayed all night here. I have been attempting to allow more freedom for the girls and it went very well.
Pumpkin Pie had a ball game Saturday morning. Her team won and she almost made a shot! She is definitely planning on practicing up for next year. She has basketball tournaments Monday and Tuesday. We played outside all day Saturday. When we brought the kids in, they had to be carried to the showers to strip down. They were so nasty that the floor of the tubs turned black from the dirt. We received bad news Saturday...my long time best friend's ex-husband (whom she has a daughter with) passed away.
Sunday, we almost made it to church on time...which would be a record for me. I enjoyed the service very much. We went by Toys R Us and Target afterward. Sweet Pea got two new DS games and a Zhu Zhu pet, since Pumpkin Pie got new glasses. Our dog doesn't know what to think about the Zhu Zhu pet. Sweet Pea and I hung out and watched a little television. We also made plans to be with my long time best friend and her daughter tomorrow evening but then we received more bad news. Matt's dad passed away tonight and his mom is having an extremely hard time with it. His dad has suffered the majority of his life with Muscular Dystrophy and had just recovered from pneumonia so it had seemed that he was out of the woods for now. Please keep Matt and his mom in your prayers as arrangements are made and people are traveling. Also pray for my long time best friend and her daughter. It's a lot to take in over a weekend. I have a couple of pictures to share from the weekend but I also have stuff to prepare for tomorrow so pictures will have to wait for a few days.
