Making Memories... again

Looooong weekend. Lately, all my weekends seem to be long. Think it's just getting older?

It was the Gaslight Festival this weekend. The main square of our small community shuts down from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening. There are booths that sell things, vendors that try to get their name out, beer gardens, contests and teenagers that need to be home in BED!

It all starts on Thursday with a parade and ends Sunday with everyone tired, but feeling a sense of "doing good" for having given some of the extra cash they don't have to the community, albeit in a round about way.

We did the parade. Diva Tot LOVED it. Little Man missed it, because of football practice. I was upset that he couldn't be there, but i understand. Having missed so much with his broke ankle, i guess he really did need to be at practice. We took the kids Friday night to look around and "hang out" for a bit. Met up with the Big Love Collective and as a unit, the kids all went off on their own... for the first time. The Princess and Little Man, Lefty, Caity, EiEiO, and Big Mac. Diva Tot toddled around with the parents and we walked the booths, ate greasy food and at 9:30, they, and we, were all packed up and ready to come home.

We did an adult night on Saturday and had a really good time. Got home too late, up too early, but all in all it was a good weekend. It's time now, tho, to buckle down and spend weekends doing the "owning a home" things that need to be done, i guess. Things that will be nice to do while it's not as hot anymore.

Little Man had a great game this weekend. Because of the power outages and damage around the City last weekend, the game was postponed from Saturday to Sunday. We won 28 - 0. I was very impressed with LM's return. He didn't complain once about his ankle hurting. I guess winning gives that extra boost! *laughs* The team is really coming together as a team, learning to play well with one another. That now brings out record to 2-4. As long as we win our last 3 games, we will be in the playoffs.
