A great weekend

Doug and I started our weekend with a River Cats game on Friday night.
Thanks for the tickets Brian!!!
I'm so bummed I forgot my camera; the seats were great! (These are cell phone pictures)
Look! We had a "Run-By-Fruiting!" in the second photo. (I'll let you try to remember what movie that line is from.)
Doug was home ALL WEEKEND!! He was on-call on Saturday (because he already worked 5 days) and didn't need to go into work after all!! WOO HOO!!
We did some chores on Saturday morning, watched a movie, took a nap and had a great weekend spending time together.
Sunday was our first day of our new calling at church, so that was interesting. We teach Primary, the 11 year olds and pretty much babysit for the last hour. I'll save you from my thoughts about it. Doug tells me, "blessings come from callings" and I'll just have to believe him.
Here's a funny story too...
A couple weekends ago I spent an hour or so shoveling wood chips from the side of our house, enough to fill our yard waste trashcan. Well, Saturday, Doug goes out to shovel the wood chips to fill the trashcan again (it only gets emptied twice a month, so we always have to wait to do more yard work and we have a TON of wood chips to get rid of). A few minutes later Doug comes in and says, "DONE! I didn't even break a sweat." I said, "WHAT? No way, REALLY?!" Yep, he finished a job that took me over an hour in just a few minutes. Want to know the trick???? I sure did. He put the trashcan down on it's side and shoveled the chips into it, rather than one scoop up and into the can at a time. I'M LAME! I ALWAYS look for the easier way to do something, but I sure missed the train on that one!

Aaron and I love the Rivercats games. They are sometimes more exciting than the big league games...like the Giants even. And the fireworks are too cool!
