Friday night Mary Dalton went to the fair with Margaret Lynn and won a fish ~
Meet "Goldilocks"
I have never known a fair fish to live longer than 48 hours, but they gave us enough food to keep Goldilocks fed until Mary Dalton starts college! TWO ziplock bags full! REALLY?!?!
I had a great time in Atlanta ~ it was nice to get away and eat out...and sleep in!!! I got some new decorations for Christmas so I am excited for them to come in!A former student of mine babysat while I was away and the kids had a blast! She took them to the fall festival at our school on Saturday! They had a great time! Thanks Chelsey! :)
As much fun as I had ~ I was ready to get back to these two!!!(You can TOTALLY tell I was out of town by the looks of miss priss's hair! ha!)
Saturday night, The Millers came over and we ordered pizza. The men were off hunting, so it was nice to have some girl time and catch up!
This morning, we went to church ~ I had NO idea how noisy a cast was! Jackson banged it on the pew no less than 500 times BEFORE church started, so we moved to the balcony. It worked out GREAT because he could sit on the floor and not "bang" his arm on the pew! :)

They just sing as loud as they can! We have a screen with the words to the songs/hymns so they can sing along! Precious! They both have been asking lots of questions about becoming a Christian/being baptized/death/etc. It's so exciting to see God already working their little lives!!!
After church, we enjoyed lunch at the Mexican place in town. This afternoon was filled with laundry, grocery shopping and cooking!!!

Tah-Dah!!! It turned out really good and it even came out of the pan without falling apart!!! That's a HUGE accomplishment for me!!! :D
Our other big news is that Sunny had her 2nd litter of kittens today ~ SIX total!!! She had them right by our porch, so hopefully these won't be so wild as the last ones!!!

I am sorry to hear Goldilocks passed away. The fish were handed to the girls in a Ziploc bag and they were afraid the fish would not live in the bags. So, Mike and I took them to Freds's and found the closest thing to a fish bowl we could find and purchased the last remaining bottle of fish food.We divided the food between the two. Unfortunately, Margaret Lynn's fish passed away that night. So we sent the remaining food home with Goldilocks. Mary Dalton was so excited her fish made it through the night and I am sad to hear Goldilocks passed away. Mary Dalton and Margaret Lynn had a blast trying to win those fish and will have the memories to cherish. Margaret
