weekend options.
I cannot believe that I didn’t get a post up Monday.
But then again, I can.
I was pretty sleepy.
It was a big weekend.
And ain’t nobody paying me to type on this here blog
so sometimes I am just forced to make grown-up choices
between caring for my many children or ignoring them to write a blog post.
Every event this weekend deserves its own post.
(And maybe I will indulge myself and do that later this week.)
I could write about London and Mosely’s big Friday night.
Their first play.
Followed by their first violin recital.
Or I could write about this kid’s big Friday night.
And how his big story
ended
with me cruising the aisles of Wal-Mart
at midnight
purchasing a new one of these.
I could write about how planets had to align in order to arrange babysitting for our band of kids
so that Kevin and I could head south for a Saturday night/Sunday adventure.
I could write about our perfect day with Amy and Tyler from start to finish.
Start:
A morning run with Amy.
She’s such a great motivator.
But even pregnant, Amy can out run me in her sleep. (That sentence is really mixed and weird.)
Middle:
An Atlanta Braves game.
Pre-game, I could not name one single Braves player.
Post-game, check this out.
Jones. Heyward. McLough.
That’s three. And I didn’t use Goggle or anything else. (Which is why those names might be inaccurate.)
Avett Brothers on stage following the game.
I love this band. They played two of my favorites of theirs.
I was immensely satisfied.
Finish:
Brick Store restaurant in Decatur, Georgia.
Seriously.
The weather was lovely.
The company was outstanding.
I am not overusing the word “perfect”.
I could write about all those things.
And I guess I sort of did.

Sounds like a great weekend! I'm somewhat jealous…I've not seen Tyler & Amy in years. They are such great people! And thanks for being a trooper and having my little man hang out with you guys despite your fatigue. The Wood family appreciates your weekly service to our family!

My pleasure Amanda!
And Sly had such a great day!!

I was already sold on your blog, but now I find out you're a Braves fan, too?! Sweet!
LaceyKeigley
Um.
Wait – is now the right time to confess I am not so much a fan as an opportunist?
And the opportunity to enjoy time with my husband and good friends and hear the Avett Brothers pulled me much more strongly than the Braves?
Nah – I won't confess that now.
Maybe later.
Kara
It's all good. I started out an opportunist and ended up a fan. And I won't confess that I'm not cool enough to know who the Avett Brothers are.
LaceyKeigley
It's totally acceptable to confess that.
This is a safe place.
When you have a few seconds to spare -hehe – you should check them out on iTunes or whatever form of acquiring music exists.
