Well it's Monday again. I always hate Mondays because that means Matt has to go back to work. It is really lonely in the house when he isn't here during the day. Afton wakes up and looks for him-Daddy is silly in the mornings and she is looking for her morning entertainment. I guess Mommy isn't that interesting.
We had a great weekend. It started with a great evening Friday night. I got my hair cut while Matt watched Afton, then we got dinner from Sonic and went to the park and had a picnic. Afton got to sit in the grass and play in the dirt. This was the first time she acted interested in the grass it was cute.
Saturday Matt worked on the kitchen (the never ending project). We made our usual Saturday run to the dump to take a truck load of trash. It is always a good time going to the dump, Afton usually takes a good nap and Mommy and Daddy go to DQ and get ice cream. We decided to take a drive while we were eating our ice cream and drove to La Ventana. The last time we were there, I was pregnant with Afton! Weird!
Sunday we went to Sunday school. Matt took Afton to her Cradle Roll Sunday School class and it was the first time that she realized that Daddy was not staying with her. She wimpered a little, but Daddy made a quick exit. It is great that our church has a class for her age. It gives Matt and I a chance to go to Sunday School without trying to entertain her and listen at the same time. AND I actually got to sit through a whole church service! Afton had not taken a morning nap, so she was pooped and slept in the pew the whole service. That has NEVER happened, but it was wonderful. I had forgotten how much I enjoy listening to Matt Clark preach. I usually don't get to hear the whole sermon! We had a lunch of leftover spaghetti at home and relaxed at the house before we went to Afton's first birthday party. Our Pastor's daughter, Chloe, invited Afton to her 7th birthday party. They even made Afton a special party hat to wear! I did not remember to take my camera : ( but Jana took a picture of her that I hope she will let me have! The theme of the party was a Fashion Show-it was awesome! The little girls got to decorate black t-shirts with ribbon, bows, flowers, glitter, etc and then at 4pm they put on a fashion show for all the adults! It was great!! I was so impressed with the party idea and cake that Jana did. I hope I can come up with good party ideas, this was a little girls dream! We all had a great time-Matt and I got a kick out of watching the Fashion Show (and got a short glimpse at our future) while Afton watched everyone, played with balloons and was passed around by all the adults.
Over all it was a great weekend. We are so blessed to get to spend time with each other and to have such an awesome church family! I look forward to our weekends!!!
