a practically perfect saturday

i am really low on cash right now, as in scrapping change together for gas money, so when my friend Juli asked me if i could come to her house in Jefferson to baby-sit her two youngest on Friday and Saturday, i agreed. Not only would i make up the gas money in under two hours, but i would get a chance to spend time with one of my favorite families.

i got there on Friday afternoon in time for Juli to go to court (she is a lawyer, so she wasn't IN court- side note, i think that Christian lawyers are just about the coolest thing ever because you get to really fight for justice, PLUS Juli works from home so she can home school her kids, which just about makes her my hero) i took the kids to taekwondo, then we ran around in the yard because the weather was beautiful, when Juli got home we all went to Korea night, ate some weird desserts, went back to the house, ate frozen pizza and watched Kung-fu Panda.

i slept in a little on Saturday and got up in time to see the kids off to their baseball try-outs, then i proceeded to lay around while watching a Tim Hawkins video (if you don't know who that is, YouTube him, you won't be sorry) right around lunch time my wonderful friend Monica, who was in town from Macon for a wedding shower picked me up and treated me to lunch in downtown Athens. It was such a nice day and i even got some sun while walking around downtown and north campus.

Afterward Monica dropped me back off in time for my next gig, and the kids and i went to this really cool playground where i scratched and scraped myself on an obstacle course (but still won), swung on the swings, raced down the slides, climbed on tires and up walls until we were tired and hungry enough to go home, eat dinner, watch Angels in the Outfield (a May family classic), and clean up cat puke.

i give the day two thumbs-up (minus the cat-puke)

i hope that you all got to spend some time outside in this spring like weather this weekend. i am hoping that we get to enjoy it a little while longer.
