Weekend Update

Ahh, home sweet home! I guess most of my writing will be during my son's naptime. He likes to press on the keyboard and the power button when I sit at the computer. Makes it hard to get things done, if ya know what I mean.

What did I do this weekend? Spent way too much time in a car. I think my son would agree with me. Went to my brother-in-law's wedding. Really nice. They had it in the backyard of their home at 5pm. It wasn't too hot and the sun was shining on the happy bride and groom for the ceremony. I wish them all the best!

Today, I am working feverishly to get things together for puppet practice tonight. We start rehearsals for our Halloween play for the last week or so of October. It's been a while since we've done a Halloween play. I know a lot of churches don't "celebrate" Halloween and either don't do anything for the holiday or have a harvest party instead. My church isn't scared of the word Halloween. We use the traditions to our advantage and find ways to spread the Gospel instead. Kids take candy...ours has a message of hope with each piece. We usually have a harvest party for kids aged 12 and under, too. But since the holidays falls on a Sunday this year, I thought it would be a great opporunity to get more people in the church to see our puppet play. We usually do a theme of "No Fear" or something like that. We also show how you can "defeat the devil" in some way using comedy but with a point. I'm hoping to eventually get the show recorded so I can share it with the world, here, on my tiny blog.

Well, my son has decided that taking a nap for 40 minutes was all he needed today. Ugh. Pray that I get all this stuff done before tonight. Oh, guess that's one more thing you should know about me. I'm a procrastinator. Yikes!
