Well, I had one last weekend. I was off work, yay! I had finished my homework for school, yay! So my schedule was pretty much open.
Saturday morning, I woke up quickly straightened up the house (I had already made up my mind that I wasn't cleaning all day Saturday) and got ready for a fun-filled day. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining and the temperature was PERFECT!
I went to a friends house that morning at about 10:30 for a Shrimp and Grits kids clothes party. I could have spent hundreds of dollars on all their cute clothes, but I didn't. I just bought Norah Kate two outfits. I am can not wait for them to come in the mail! I am obsessed with bubbles for her this year for summer. I made a mental note the other day not to buy her another bubble, but so far I am not following this rule very good. I have bought 4 more since I told myself that. It is kinda sad though because I know this will be the last summer that she can wear little outfits like that. Probably by next summer she will be wearing toddler clothes and that stuff will be too "baby."
Then we went to Adel and ate at Hot Diggity Dogs. I was craving a good, juicy hamburger and a Coke. I got Norah Kate a "durger" which is ground hamburger meat on a hotdog bun. I am not usually a big fan of her eating "fast food," but she got a treat Saturday! It was yummmmyy!
We got out lunch to go and went to my mama's for a little while. We played out in the front yard in the sunshine and gave my brother's dog lots of loving. NK smelt to high heavens when we were done, but the dog loved it and it wasn't anything a bath wouldn't fix.
Norah Kate layed down for nap and when she woke up we took her to the Pig Scramble. The Pig Scramble takes place before the county livestock show. It was a blast! I really doesn't get much more country than this! I didn't know how she would react to the pigs, but she LOVED them.
We took her to the pens where they were keeping them prior to the scramble and she wanted in the pen with them. She would pet them and talk to them.
I was going to "register" her for the pig scramble but she was too little. She had a fit when they started. She was climbing up the fence and squealing. She was loving all the excitement. Luckily, we knew several of the people that were managing the event and they took her into the pen. She couldn't catch the pigs but she sure did try. It was so much fun to watch her get excited about touching them!
After the pig scramble we went and saw Matt's mama. We visiting with her for a while and then she watched Norah Kate so that I could go for a run. I ran for about an hour and over 6 miles with my friend Amanda.
It really was a perfect day. It is not very often that I feel like I get everything accomplished that I had planned for the day! It was wonderful!
Sunday was just as great. We went to church, then out to eat, and Matt stayed home with us that afternoon. I got to take a nap, and we watched a movie. We rode around in his truck and checked fields.
We don't have to go anywhere special, or do anything spectacular, just good quality family time and watching my little girl grow up means the most to me!
