If It's Never Ending, Then Why Does It End?

Thank goodness for lazy weekends. It's been awhile since I've actually been home all day on the weekend.  I slept in yesterday day until 8:00, which was apparently too long because instead of feeling refreshed, I felt sluggish and ended up with a headache.

Jacob had musical practice and I told him I'd send him updates of the Illinois game. I hadn't really thought I'd watch the whole thing, but I ended up really getting into it. I never really knew I'd get into football so much but I found myself flipping between 3 football games!  Illinois beat Penn State which was quite exciting! When Jacob came home we watched the Alabama vs. South Carolina game. I ended up falling asleep and woke up an hour later! I warmed up the chili we had the night before and we ate while we finished watching the game.

Last night we went over to Seth and Sandy's and had a fire. It had been so long since I had a s'more! We always enjoy hanging out with them. Jack entertained us with super hero stories and Liam cried his little head off for awhile. He's so cute though. Heidi called me "The Baby Whisperer" one time so that's what Jacob referred to me as when I got him to stop crying and he fell asleep in my arms. The source of my magic you ask?  I hum or sing, "You Are My Sunshine" over and over again. Jacob told me he's gonna sing awesome songs to our kids. Hey...this song has been working for me for years, and I don't mess with a good thing! :)

We didn't stay for potluck after church today. We did however indulge in Olive Garden's, Never Ending Pasta Bowl one last time for the season. Today was the last day for it! We also had to get one more slice of Pumpkin Cheesecake. Delicious as always. We had the strangest waiter I think I have ever encountered. He had to be in his 50's and was just odd. For awhile he would not leave us alone. Then he would disappear when we needed him. He'd make the strangest chit chat and was driving us crazy and cracking us up at the same time. He'd walk away and we'd just look at each other like, "REALLY!?" Then at 2 separate times he would say that he hoped he wasn't a terrible waiter. We came to find out that it was his first day and he said he hadn't waited tables in like 30 years. I felt much more compassion.

My greatest laugh came when I asked to take my 2nd  bowl to go. (This was after he tried to swipe my bowl. Dude...I want my leftovers!) Anyway, he brings me the container and scoops my leftovers into it. Then he proceeds to put my container in this:

I seriously LOVE that he put my container in a giant bag. I didn't even have the heart to tell him that I really didn't need the bag, so I just took it and kept laughing when I'd look at it.

Now another weekend is almost over. Even though I didn't do much, I could still use another day! Weekends just go by too fast!
