The Weekend

Fun and dog-intensive weekend. We think we're keeping him, btw. He's a Good Dog.



We're raising zombies! (Jordan's watching Sam play a computer game).



Here's the watching of Meercat Manor (Jordan's on the phone with her dad).





Saturday, Jordan and Sam went to a birthday party. They decided to dress as twins in matching dresses.







Jamie dropped them off and then met the student he's tutoring.







Claudia and I picked them up. But first, we stopped for icecream.



Today we went to church. Jamie and I had decided to stay home today, but the kids all *really* wanted to go, so we did. Since we weren't planning to go, this meant rushing to get out the door on time so Jamie made us all breakfast to eat in the car while I got ready.

The little girls learned the Cain and Abel story and Claudia learned about the service projects they'll be working on this year. Our sermon today was about helping people. One of the songs we sang was "Be that guide". When the song was announced, both Jamie and I thought he said "Be *that* guy" and that made us laugh, but stealthily, because you know, church.

Here are Sammy and Jordan under one of the trees at church:





After church, Jamie made us lunch and then went out to watch the Colts game with friends. Claudia, Sammy and Jordan walked the dog a lot, played computer and video games and just generally had fun. I watched the last half of the Colts game, read the book I'm reading about LBJ (that you should all read--it's *so* good!), roasted a turkey and made my mom's applesauce spice cake. It's my mom's signature dish and mine wasn't as good as hers, but still good.
