Our Weekend

Saturday was a rainy day around here, so we spent the majority of the day at home.  I finished organizing my closet and we worked some in Cooper's room.  When Garrett took his nap, Keith and I watched "Fireproof".  I honestly only watched the movie because I kept hearing people talking about it and I wanted to be able to say I had seen it.  But it was a really good movie.  I would highly recommend married couples, or couples who have plans to marry, to watch this movie.  It gives you a lot to think about and consider when you're talking to or dealing with your spouse.  I could turn this into a whole blog about how to treat your spouse, but I'll refrain.  I will add that one of my all time favorite books on marriage is "Love and Respect".  I would highly recommend this book.  I have the "Love Dare" book that was used in "Fireproof", but I haven't read it yet.  I can assume that it's every bit as good as "Love and Respect", just a different format with a challenge to complete each day, whereas "L & R" is more of a general way to treat your spouse and relate to them, along with a good reminder of the differences between men and women and what we want from each other.   

Yesterday I had my first baby shower.  It was a small group of girls that I teach in Sunday school and their moms.  It was fun and relaxing.  I was given several cute outfits, some blankets, diapers, wipes, and a teether.  My favorite was from my friend Shari who hosted the shower.  She gave me a Ralph Lauren polo shirt for Garrett and a matching polo onesie for Cooper.  They will be so cute for pictures!  I can promise you will be seeing them many times until Cooper outgrows his.  She sent me home with the cake leftovers and 2 plates full of fruit.  Garrett was thrilled to see the "birthday" cake (as he calls it), but I only let him have a very small piece because yesterday he complained of having a stomachache and he had the signs of having "sour stomach".  I really don't know what causes that or why he would have it, but I was careful with what I let him eat in case it made a repeat, but thankfully nothing happened.  This morning he told me his stomach still hurt, but I hope it will start feeling better.  Beginning tomorrow, our church is having a preschool-only Vacation Bible School.  It will be Tuesday through Friday for 3 hours each morning.  I know Garrett will have a lot of fun going, so here's hoping this stomach issue is resolved today.  (I'm looking forward to a few hours each morning to do some work in Cooper's room, I must be honest.  Garrett only has another week or so of "school" and then I'll be doing the final touches on Cooper's room and the house with him "helping" me.)

Yesterday we went through the Dairy Queen drive thru because I was craving onion rings (they were out of them!!  How is this even possible?).  On our way back home, we stopped at the gas station to full up my SUV.  Garrett said "What's Daddy doing?" and I told him "Daddy's putting gas in Momma's car.  He's a stud."  Garrett said "Daddy's a spudge."  For some reason that just made me laugh so hard.  I don't think Keith found it quite that funny.
