Downtown

Can you tell where we went?  I'll give you a clue...I dressed to match the scenery.
I guess the posters in the window give it away.  Yep, we went and saw The Lion King at Capitol Theatre!  Man, the costumes were stunning.  We really liked it.  It was a great night out. 

On our way back to the car we stopped and watched the 10:00 news being filmed for a bit.  It was fun to watch the meteorologist point to the green screen and to read the teleprompter of the news casters while they read stories.  So, if you were watching channel 2 and saw a girl in a zebra coat in the background, you know who it was.

A day in the life of...us

I haven't known what to blog about lately, we're just settling into our fall routine.  For lack of anything else to talk about, I decided to take pictures all day on Sunday and just give a glimpse of our day through pics.




7am Sunday, it felt too early to be up, but it was a beautiful morning.


Why was I up so early?  This little gal was running circles like crazy in her squeaky wheel.  I must have been sleeping pretty light because it woke me up, and I decided I might as well stay up.


I finished preparing my sharing time lesson (for the little kids at church). 





Scott was dressed and ready for his 7:45am church meeting.  Might I say he looks pretty handsome in his shiny gray suit.







Then it was my turn to get ready for our 9:00 church, and by some miracle, I was ready on time!






Look how surprised I was! (yes, I took this picture of myself...but yes, I really was surprised I was ready on time!)





After a nice time at church we came home, changed into some comfy clothes, and did what most people do... memorize the state capitols.




Seriously though, we bought some $1 flash cards at Target once and every now and then we sit down and try to memorize every state capitol.  Quiz us next time you see us!



Pretty soon I was out like a light.  When I woke up, my face was totally indented from the square pattern on the pillow.  I'm glad we don't have a picture of that...




When I woke up, I found that Scott had made his favorite treat, caramel puffs, all by himself.





After Scott got back from another church meeting, we were on our way to my parents house for Sunday dinner.  Scott couldn't find his sunglasses, so he just borrowed some of mine :) 





After eating, we got into an intense game of Bananagrams, one of our favorites!





We missed my sister Ashley, but we did get to skype with her later that evening.




Our little niece sat in her chair like a big girl :)  She is usually our entertainment for the evening.  We all just sit around and listen to her "stories" and watch her dance.





Back at home, Scott checked to make sure he had everything done for school the next day.


And that sums it up! Just a regular day here at our home. At least it's a blog post.  I was feeling guilty :)
