Afternoon at the park

After church yesterday, we ate lunch at Fugi's with some great friends. Then Lacy and I took the kids to Craighead Forest Park to let them burn some energy. Grady and Elijah had a blast! Lacy, Lucas and I tried to stay in the shade and catch up.

Elijahism

Eljiah came home from his Nawna's and stated, "Mom, sharky died.  Sharky died and he was my bestest friend.  We buried him in the toilet.  We bought four more fish and an algae eater.  When the next fish dies, I am gonna tell Nawna instead of flushing it down the toilet to throw it out in the yard.  That way me and Papa can mow them."

Um, okay.

Eight is enough!

I am the first to admit that I do not engage in political discussions outside my party. I cannot because my mind cannot wrap its self around Republican thinking. I end up loosing my cool and it can have negative consequences on my relationships. It's funny, because this is the only topic of conversation I can think of that I will not debate.



That said, I have been watching the Democratic Convention this week, and I am pumped about this year's election. I truly believe if our country is going to see a turn around, Obama is the only one on the ticket that is going to bring that change.


Regardless of who you are in favor of, please exercise your freedom to vote come November 4th, 2008.

The competition

Some friends from church got together tonight for dinner and a little laser tag. We ate at McAllister's and then headed over to Gallactic Hurricane. We had an odd number of people, so one team was clearly going to have a disadvantage. That would be my team. However, we won the first game 295-260. It was quickly decided that we should play again, this time switching sides while keeping the same teammates. Game on. Each team got an addition to our group by way of two 12 year olds. This time around everyone seemed to find their groove (well most everyone) and the numbers were alittle better, though we did lose...400-440.

While I'll not name names, someone has already challenged to a rematch. This certain someone was none too happy with her performance and her standing in the laser tag community is seriously jeapordized. I say...bring it!
