First off Happy Birthday to ShoeShe! I was going to post a picture of us going down a roller coaster being goobers for the camera, but it is not a flattering picture of either of us so we will just let that one stay were it is.
I am getting ready for a busy week next week. I am driving to home state I think Monday afternoon or Tuesday morning to go see my mom and grandparents. I am going to leave Wednesday and take the kiddos to Tark’s grandparents, leave them there and then come home. So this will be the first Thanksgiving without the kids since we have had them, and the first Thanksgiving ever without being with family (besides each other) on the big day.
I think we might go to the church for the community Thanksgiving dinner. We might just end up helping out a little and then driving to a really good steak place a little ways away that is suppose to be open on the day.
On Friday it is all about the shopping. Yes, I am one of the idiots who get up early the day after Thanksgiving, run store to store, and spend way too much money. It is fun, though! I think I have my friend K convinced to go with me. She had never heard of Black Friday before and thinks I am a little crazy that I want her to come with to Wal-mart at 5 a.m. in the morning. I haven’t told her that it is usually crazy, and that we might die by a stampede of women with arms full of High School Musical dolls or be crushed by men carrying big TV’s.
I hope I can keep the post a day up when I visit mom. She only has internet access through her wireless carrier, as she lives in the hills in the middle of nowhere. I will try to post something.
I think tomorrow the boys and I are going to make our own little pre-Thanksgiving dinner after school. It should be a good time, and I will try to post pictures.
Here is your smile today, brought to you by Tark and Westers….
(Driving in the car after dropping off some youth, Tark and Westers are left alone)
Westers: “Daddy? Are we going back to church?”
Tark: “Yes, for just a little bit.”
Westers: “Is it God’s church?”
Tark: “Yes.”
Westers: “I love God. Where is God”
Tark: “Well, Westers, he is everywhere.”
Westers: “Wow! I can’t see him.”
Tark: “Well, you can’t always see him, but he is everywhere you are.”
Westers: “Is God in the bathroom”
Tark: “Well, he is everywhere.”
Westers: “Oh.”
