Weekend Activities

We spent this weekend being quite busy. Jeff went to a concert friday night and helped chaperone the youth group at church. I went to play my guitar as part of the women's worship band at a women's retreat. We were both up late friday night and then it was off to an early soccer game saturday for mackenzie. She did well and her team won. She was happy. I went home and Jeff was off to play flag football with some friends. By the time he got home, mowed the lawn and showered it was time to go to a to a friend's house for a barbecue. We had a great time there, except that Ellie got stung:( Poor little girl. Our pastor's wife suggested we put a penny on it as she read on the internet that helped. She seemed to be fine 15 minutes later and now you can barely see it so we think it worked pretty well. I don't think I have ever been stung. I guess there's a possibility that I got stung when I was really little and don't remember it but I have no recollection of ever being stung. So she's the first for our children and honestly probably handled it better than either Mackenzie or Ainsley might! She was a Trooper and was fine the rest of the night. We had a fire and smores and that just makes a great night:)
Today we started a new curriculum at church for the elementary ages and Jeff was the large group teacher. I think that all went well and we are going to really like the new curriculum. Then it was off to Wendy's to make up for last week's missed opportunity. Mackenzie had her friend Madeline over for the day and Ainsley went to Madeline's house to play with her sister Ashley. So we swapped for the day and then the cooked dinner for us. Burritos..yum:) Now we are watching the Orioles play the Yankees in the last game at Yankee Stadium. For those of you who don't know Yankee Stadium is being replaced with a new Yankee stadium that is bigger and better. We of course are hoping for a big Yankee loss:) Once we download pics, we will post some from the barbecue as lots of the kids were in the hammock. Very cute pics!
