We have been so busy this past week/weekend that I’m not quite done with my Our Three Words post, but until then…. I will shamelessly ask for votes for my cutie in Leigh’s Costume Contest. 

His pic is last year’s Octopus.

Vote here.

Heidi is giving away a super cute bulletin board on her blog. Head over there for details and a chance to win. Plus she is hilarious, you might want to stay a while. J

Fellow blogger, Amy took a personality/career test and posted the results on her blog asking others to do the same. My results were spot-on.

Your personality type:
Quietly forceful, original and sensitive. Tend to stick to things until they are done. Extremely intuitive about people and concerned for their feelings. Well-developed value systems which they strictly adhere to. Well-respected for their perserverence in doing the right thing. Likely to be individualistic, rather than leading or following.

Careers that could fit you includes:
Counselors, clergy, missionaries, teachers, medical doctors, dentists, chiropractors, psychologists, psychiatrists, writers, musicians, artists, psychics, photographers, child care workers, education consultants, librarians, marketeers, scientists, social workers.

You can take the test here. Were your results accurate?

This past weekend was wonderful and relaxing. I was terrible about taking pictures, however. The only picture I took was of D3 totally passed out on the drive up to my parents.

Think he was a little exhausted from school?

He used our poor dog as a pillow.

We dropped the kids off with my parents and Dan and I went to eat at Macaroni Grill. We love that place and don’t have one near us, so it is such a treat when we are able to go. Our meal was so quiet and relaxing. I wasn’t trying to distract anyone or cut up food into little pieces. We took our time and had a very nice meal.

I told Dan that I’m not sure I’m a good date anymore. I was so tired and just enjoying the peace and quiet. As a mom and teacher my days are so noisy, that I just love the quiet. He was very tired from his week as well, so we just relaxed.

We stayed in a hotel overnight, so I was able to sleep in! I realized the last time that I was away from the kids overnight was our anniversary last year. So, it was my annual Saturday sleep-in, I suppose. Although, sleeping in was sleeping until 8. It’s a lot better than getting up at 6, but not quite the 9 or 10:00 sleep-ins of the past.

We took our time getting ready and eating breakfast. We checked out and then hit a couple of yard sales on our way to my parents. We love a good yard sale. J We watched the Florida/Tennessee game (Go Gators!), ate some pizza, and headed home. Such is the weekend of a pastor- Friday night until Saturday night.

The kids were sufficiently spoiled. My parents took them to Buffalo Wild Wings. My kids love this place. I guess because it’s so active- but apparently they cleaned their plates and got ice cream for dessert. They also got Happy Meals the next day and D3 got to watch 2 of the Star Wars movies! They love Nana and Papa’s! J

Sunday we went to church. I have started teaching the children’s Sunday School class- pray for me. J It’s a lot of fun and an intense hour! We use a great curriculum called Live B.I.G.  The kids seem to enjoy it.

The rest of my Sunday involved grocery shopping and laundry. So much fun, let me tell you!

Have a great week!!

I am so excited that this is our forecast for the week here:

I was able to wear these and not sweat. (Not really me modeling, sad to say)

Soon we might be going to pick one of these.

And burn one of these.

And take cute pictures of the kids like this.

And other cute pictures like this.

Maybe even make a cute t-shirt like this.

To wear while we are eating this.

I love fall!!!!
