our weekend

We had a very fun weekend. I realize it more and more as I look back on it.

Saturday we:

• Baked banana muffins
• Watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown"
• Took a nap
• Attempted screen printing for the first time (definite fail, but we will try again!)
• Watched a movie
• And ate ice cream sandwiches.

Sunday we:

• Went to church
• Painted signs and carved a pumpkin
• Dressed up like we were tailgating
• Walked to Starbucks with Anna (pumpkin spice latte for me and a mocha for Tim)
• Hung out at Trunk or Treat
• Admired the cute costumes (personal favorite: triplets dressed as dalmation puppies)
• And went to McDonald's with Pete and Rachel. As Rachel said in her sweet blog, we got to see God's love at work. Though I was reluctant to go to McDonald's at first, it was clear that we were meant to be there to help a sister in need.

This weekend was short, this weekend was good. Thank You Lord for friends, rest, and love.

an evening at the beach

Last night Tim and I went over to the beach. It was absolutely beautiful. A storm has just rolled through, and the clouds were breathtaking. I wished I had my sister (a very talented photographer) with me last night. These pictures don't give justice to the beauty we witnessed last night. I just love the beach.

"When I look at the heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that You care for him?" Psalm 8:3-4

happy weekend!

I hope you all are having a wonderful weekend so far... this is a picture I drew this week after Tim and I went over to the beach on Monday. It is missing a lot of things, namely the other thousand people that were also at the beach that night. But it was beautiful, and we are hoping to head over there again today.

Other things on the agenda? A little relaxing, some space for creating art, making meatballs and maybe brownies, church, and a birthday party.

What do you have planned for the weekend? I hope you have a lovely one.
