It's Sunday. June 19th. Happy Father's Day!!! I do feel kinda bad that it's been two weeks since I posted, but I'm doing it today!!! I don't really remember too much about the week before last, so I'm gonna just do a recap of this last week.
Sunday night - Kevin came down to celebrate his birthday (yes, it was a month late. Poor guy) and go to Riverbend with Dad. We had a delicious chocolate cake and everything!!!!
Monday night - we had a swim meet. we lost. :)
Tuesday night - We went to Riverbend and saw Casting Crowns!!! They were AMAZING!!! We went with a friend and picked another one up somewhere along the way. :) Kevin came down again with a friend and sat with us.
Wednesday - Kevin stayed overnight and on Wednesday he beat us at Scrabble. :P He went back to Riverbend that night and then went home. Mary and Sarah went to a movie with a friend.
Thursday night - We had another swim meet...and lost again.
Friday - I played Ultimate frisbee and got my nose busted.
Saturday - we celebrated Peter's birthday!!! Sarah will be in Uganda on his actual birthday, so we celebrated early. He got clothes, a book, a magazine subscription, a "hydro calculator" (it runs on water batteries?), and Lord of the Rings Risk...which is what I think will become our "Sunday" - playing Risk all day long. :)
Sunday - Actually, today we have secret Father's Day plans. But after them, maybe some Risk will be in order...
Sorry I haven't posted in so long. :) I really was going to a few days ago (after Riverbend), but then I tried (to no avail) to fix the date, and that used up all my post-writing time and energy. I'll try to do better. Really. Happy Father's Day!!! Have a great week!!!!
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!!!
Guess what today is...after you read this post, you should promptly send a celebratory e-mail to my sister (feel free to copy me on it, because I would love to see what you say to her :). I shall think you a simpleton indeed if you cannot remember what it is...and Mary will think worse of you if she doesn't receive some kind of proof that you didn't forget her today. I'll give you 16 clues to help jog your memory:
1. we're decorating right now
2. we're discussing very important dessert plans for tonight
3. Dad was just sent on an emergency run for tissue paper
4. it's December 19th
5. the number of clues I am issuing (however useless) is significant
6. I don't know if I can get 10 more clues out
7. There are signs all over the house with a special greeting
8. half-way done
9. Mary and I just iced a cake
10. there will be a party tomorrow in honor of this occasion
11. mary will receive presents from each of her family members...tonight
12. there will be lots of good food involved
13. she could legally be on the road now...alone
14. how old I am :)
15. a number she leaves behind...today
16. it rhymes with "pappy mirthday"
Okay, so I'm not sure how helpful clues 6, 8 and 14 were, but I ran out of ideas. I think all of you know what today is, but I wrote this just in case. :)
