Our weekend wasn’t too exciting. We went to Lisa Hamer’s surprise b-day party (she turned 30) on Friday night.  I got there and volunteered/was asked to organize things, so I did.  It was actually a lot of fun to hang out and see a bunch of people I don’t get to see much anymore. After a while, we ended up with the boys inside playing Atari, and the girls outside chatting, which was a lot of fun…we laughed VERY hard.  Then we “played” Scene It (we only watched the dvd…but didn’t use the board).  We didn’t leave until 11:00!

Eric worked on Saturday, so I did laundry, finished the jam making, and cleaned a bit.  In the afternoon after it FINALLY stopped raining, I also planted some impatiens in the front flower beds, so that’s starting to look a bit more complete again.  I still need some more of them, but they aren’t hard to find!  We looked at our various plants (my veggies are really growing well!), and then Eric started edging the beds, so I worked on cleaning up the dirt clods he’d made. I also deadheaded the roses so they keep blooming as well as they have been!  Sunday was less exciting. Church, dinner, read the newspaper, finished the laundry (I even ironed everything and put all the clean clothes away!), watched some tv with Eric and then watched a movie before we went to bed.  We watched The Island. It had been highly recommended to me, and it was definitely worth the watch.  I liked it, but I also like Ewan McGregor, too, so that helps!

There’s a circus coming to Columbus for the next couple of weeks.  I really want to take Kelly…I think she’s old enough to really enjoy it now!
