Super Saturday! Sad Sunday.

This weekend was full of ups and downs. On Saturday we had a carnival-like event at our church. Tim and I helped out with the Bar-b-que. We were blessed with wonderful weather. Lily had a blast! What toddler doesn't enjoy large amounts of sugar, games to play and win every time, and music to dance to. This was Lily's run-down: Bounce house, snow cone, beanbag toss (win a toy), bounce house, bite of hot dog, bag of chips, face painting, tic-tac-toe (win candy), ring toss (win toy & candy), lucky wheel spin (you guessed it, more candy), followed by cotton candy, and then finally passing out on the car ride home. Priceless.

Sunday was a little more subdued. We ended up selling our one year old Beagle to a nice family with a little boy. We enjoyed Mr. Hubert for a whole year. Since we bought him for Lily for her first birthday, it was only fitting he went to a little boy for his birthday. I think he will be much loved and get all of the attention he deserves. I am very pleased to see Hubert found a great home. Now we are cat sitting my sister Sally's cat, Oliver. Lily enjoys chasing after him and is completely baffled when he does not share the same enthusiasm towards her! It is very confusing to her. She is always asking "where he go?" After all, all she wants to do is wave his toy right in his face (this toy consists of a few little do-dads of fluff and sparkle on a wand) and, if she gets close enough, squeezing him around his neck, giving him an "ug". Now tell me, what cat doesn't enjoy that? On Sunday we also celebrated our niece Madyson's 7th birthday with another bar-b-que (good food!), cake, ice cream, and presents. It was a lot of fun, however, very hot and muggy feeling. Today we will try to get back to our original schedules and take pleasure in this cooler weather.
