The show was great fun, but the best part of the day for me was getting the memory box for Sweet Pea. I went to the Discovery Store where Jay got Ryan's box for me. I looked everywhere and couldn't find another one. I was so disappointed. I asked a guy that worked there if he knew anything about them. He said they had been marked down. He pointed to a sign that said 50% off. He told me he would look around and see what he could find. He started looking around the store. This did not make me hopeful. Then he went to the back and come out with a box! The last one in the whole store. It was the new design. Apparently the Discovery Store(which is awesome, by the way) bought the company that makes the boxes, so the ones with the old packaging were being discounted to get rid of them. I was just happy to have the box, I didn't care if it wasn't the discounted old model. When he rang it up it did come up on sale though. I got it for $15!!! Have you ever felt like God lined everything up for you? The last box, being in the back where it would be bought until I asked about it because I wanted one so much and to top it all off on sale 50% off! I can't find a link for the box, but it's similar to this frame if you imagine no hinge and a box part behind it. It is by far my favorite keepsake keeper. I've never seen one anywhere else.
Yesterday was nice. We had a good sermon at church and got to talk to some friends while we were there. The rest of the day was just pretty relaxed. That was nice having come off a busy week. My uncle Tommy came by to bring a boat he made over and he set it up for the kids to play on. He also brought his girlfriend, Alice. This was the first time I met her. She seems nice. They are pretty cute together. All lovey dovey :-) They remind me of Jay and me(except without the fighting ;-) ).

Hooray for wonderful shows the whole family enjoys! And double hooray for Memory Boxes waiting in the back of the store for just the right buyer.
Tommy brought the SS Minnow to you guys? What fun! He and Alice really are cute together, aren't they?
Happy Halloween, y'all!
Awwwww...the red sign says 'From Uncle Tommy.' That's so sweet!
I put that in...It is really a sign for Tommy's company, but I didn't know if I should post that.
Glad y'all had a great weekend! Looks like fun!
'From Uncle Tommy' is a sign for his company?
I marked out the company's name and typed that over it.
Ooooohhhhh...OK. just a little slow on the uptake...that's why Dad sometimes STILL calls me 'Skidmark.'
We are so jealous that you guys got to see the Incredibles show. It's not supposed to come to our area anytime soon. Instead, we are going to see Finding Nemo on Ice in 2 weeks! I've never been to an 'on Ice' show, so I am glad to hear it was better than you expected.
Also--Sweet Pea's costume is brilliant!
