A First, Two Birthdays and Three People Napping

Our weekend was filled with lots of fun activities.

Friday after a fun-filled Letter Parade at Hannah's school, our little Dorothy went off to spend the night with my husband's parents and my husband and I went downtown to our town's First Friday celebration. We had a great time, saw some pretty cars at the a car show, watched fire-eaters and ate a great meal. After dinner, we stopped in to see a local band play, whose drummer looked vaguely familiar, and basically stayed out far too late for two middle-aged parents of a five year old!

Saturday morning we got up early, went and picked up our girl and headed to the Oliver Hardy Festival and Parade in a nearby town. Thousands of people swarm into this town once a year to celebrate the birthday of Oliver Hardy (yes, of Laurel and Hardy fame). It is always a fun event, a great way to herald in the Fall season. We spent most of the time watching Hannah ride carnival rides and ponies...but it was a great morning.

Saturday evening Hannah and I headed to a birthday party for a friend of hers from Sunday School and had a wonderful time visiting friends and shouting G I Joe all evening!

Today (Sunday) was a church day and an afternoon spent with my parents for lunch and yummy lemon pie...and then, miracles of all miracles...we all had a Sunday afternoon nap!! That just never happens over here at our abode...but I think we were just all tired from a busier than normal weekend. Of course it might just be that my husband and I are not cut out for the "partying" lifestyle any more...if we ever were at all!

I am thankful for the memories made this weekend, it was fun, fun, fun! Hope yours was too.

Living Happily in the Moment!
