we finally had a semi-normal weekend. we are still trying to get back to a regular schedule after the death of my father-in-law.

saturday we got to sleep in! it's so nice that monkey is getting old enough to get up and not have to wake the whole house right away! hubby had to eventually go and get equipment for a show we were to play saturday night. it was a party for a 16 year old. they really picked the wrong band to play music for them! but we had a great time. the sound was really good, and the kids were ok with it. i mean for that age group a middle aged Christian rock band was probably not the best choice. we got paid!!! that was awesome. and it would have been perfect if i had not knocked over my mic stand in the middle of a song. oh my gosh. i was so embarrassed but to make it worse as i was trying to remedy the situation, my microphone got caught in tim's mic and tried to pull his over too!! we were both laughing so hard. and he had a harmonica in his mouth. anyway it was fun. and i was home by 10:00.

sunday church then i came home and plopped my butt down on the couch to read a book. it was My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult. i could not put it down. and i didn't. until the end and i was sobbing like a baby. read it. it's amazing.

big c went home with blake to skateboard and monkey kept himself busy building legos all day. he came up to me with a skeleton lego guy that was attached to some building he made. there was a lego plant on it. he took the guy and said he is allergic to sweet and kind so i'm going to put him in the sweet and kind bush and he will be fine then. i love it when he says stuff like that!! oh and speaking of legos, today is there 50th anniversary. this is what google did. cool huh?

My Sister's Keeper was good and I remember bawling at the end, too.
