A Week in Our Life - Saturday

by - 9:44 PM

This morning Juliette woke me up at 8 o'clock wanting to watch Disney channel. I turned it on for her and told her to come get me when the show was off so I could get a few more minutes of sleep. I don't think I really even fell asleep before she was back in the room, so I just got up and cuddled on the couch with her for a little bit. (Well, she didn't cuddle much, opting after a few minutes to instead hit and kick those balloons from last night for what seemed like at least 30 minutes.) After a little bit, Juliette decided she was ready for breakfast, so I fixed us some waffles (out of the freezer) and Matt got up around the time we were eating. After breakfast, we didn't do much, and then I finally (in the late morning), went and got a shower so we could go to the Games of Acadiana.

Games of Acadiana is an event where companies pay/donate money to sponsor games for the Miles Perret Cancer Center. The companies are donating to a good cause and the community gets to come out and show their support and play those games for free. First thing in the door, Juliette had to have her face painted, and she decided to get some hearts on her arm as well, so she was all decked out. Then, we took her to the kids area where she hit more balloons around (except these were really big ones) and then she participated in some football themed games where she got some of those under eye stickers like the football players wear.

Matt and I also played some games too. Juliette and Matt raced each other in the Pizza Hut "server relay." (Juliette won.) And Juliette went through the life size Candyland game twice since they were giving out candy all through it!

See our new Saints shirts?

The last thing she did was kick some soccer goals. Look at her cool little action shot:
We left around 3 and decided to go to the new grocery store by the Cajundome to get the refrigerated items that I couldn't get at Super Target yesterday. This new store, Rouse's, is a local, South Louisiana chain and Matt hadn't been yet, so he wanted to go check out their meat section. He ended up buying some shark to pan sear some time next week. (He's more adventurous with his eating than I am. Not so sure about eating shark...) After that, we came back by the apartment so I could put the groceries up, and then we headed back to Target so I could get my refund from the overcharge yesterday. On the way home, I had Matt stop at JoAnn's Fabrics so I could get some magnet strips to finish the project Juliette and I are working on.

Once we got home, we were pretty tired, but after resting for a little bit while Matt went to the bedroom to read, we got our second wind and Juliette went to her room to play and I got out my Silhouette machine to cut out some stuff for our special dinner tomorrow night. We ate a late dinner and then I did some laundry and now Juliette is in the tub and I'm quickly writing this. I'll probably have to stay up a little while longer to change the clothes out, but I don't have to work check-in at church tomorrow, so Juliette and I will get to sleep in and go to the late service. Matt, however, is already in bed because he has to work sound tomorrow and has to be at church at 6:45 am because the band/praise team rehearses at that time. (Crazy, huh?) Glad it's him and not me! :)
