A Full Weekend

Indeed it was a very busy weekend.
But good.

The highlights?
~More than 30 in our Family Room for
Bible Study on Friday evening.
~Shopping for Baby Gifts on Saturday
~First Music Lessons with Kiddos at Church
~A sweet Baby Shower
~Friends over Sunday evening.

Poor Mikey got an elbow in the face while playing Ultimate Frisbee
which made him dizzy and his nose bleed.
Ordinarily this would be just a normal happening...
but all of a sudden I had visions of him looking 
like a raccoon for graduation!
Good Grief.
But the truth is that he is likely to have bumps or 
bruises somewhere as only hours before he was riding
an office chair down the hill near our house.
His Dad and Grandma were both in on this.
Once again I feel the need to say
Good Grief!!!!

No wonder I am getting more gray hair.
At least they did it while I was at the Baby Shower
at Creekside Cottage.
By the way...my favorite photo from the Baby Shower
is this one.
My sweet little friend, Sarah.

Very soon she will be called Aunt Sarah
by her brother's soon to be born little girl.
Who knew that ribbons and bows from a package
could be put to such good use.
There are blues in the ribbon, but
Sarah's blue eyes are just the ticket for Blue Monday with Smiling Sally.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Becky, I think Sarah's very pretty blue eyes are in an absolutely adorable face! What a cutie she is. And what a story about your son! LOL! I love the chair tail. Very creative and just a hoot.

Dropping by to wish you a Happy Blue Monday. Looks like you all had an exciting weekend, and 30 for Bible Study is fantastic!

Happy Blue Monday...

XO,

Sheila :-)

How wonderful to be able to visit your blog again! Your hubby is a prince.

Nice post. It was a lovely day. And, I think, as a mother of boys who like to play games that may cause injuries, we are destined for premature gray hair. It just seems to be in their blood (no pun intended).
