This weekend we went to a get together up in Charlotte. Very fun! I saw a bunch of my friends that I hadn’t seen in a long time, which was nice. We played Winkum, Mafia, Spoons, All of the Bears are out Tonight, Do you know how Mary died?, Scream, Tangle, Guitar Hero, and a weird game where you hold up yourself and three other people like a table using only your knees and legs. We played soccer too, which explains why I ache all over. But it was worth it. Christian and I also learned how to play football. When we told the kids that we didn’t really know the rules to the game and that we’d never played before, there was a shocked silence. But they were nice enough not to tease and patient enough to show us what to do. I don’t understand the fascination with it, but I think I know enough now to follow the game! That counts! I also attempted to play volleyball for the millionth time. And again… it didn’t work out very well. Dad says he’ll show me how to play sometime, so I’ll at least be passably good next time we go to a get together.
Christmas carols started playing on the Radio on Thursday!!! 🙂 I was so excited and happy to hear them, but I am restraining myself until after Thanksgiving. If I start listening to Christmas songs too early, I get disappointed when Christmas actually rolls around. It’s too much of a good thing. So I’m going to revel in the Thanksgiving spirit while I can, and save all the Christmas-y stuff for later. It’s killing me though!
