Amendments, October Babies, and Skype

So last year my small group from church got together to celebrate our second amendment.  Yep.  That's right.  We bared our arms and had some fun.  No, no one got hurt and everyone was very careful.  We even had enough protective ear buds for everyone.  Well, we got together once again.  Mind you this entire summer has been filled with chances of rain, lots of sun, and shower or two lasting a maximum of 20min.  Saturday was complete opposite!  It was stormy, lightening, etc.  The kind of day where you just want to stay in bed muchless your pj's all day while lounging around the house taking in the much-appreciated rain.  Regardless, the rain did hold off long enough for us to participate in the Olympic sport before around round caught us.  In all, it was a wonderful Saturday!  

Then on Sunday, a local church had a showing of this:

 And who better to take in this FREE movie then with my October babies!!!  Miss SJS, Miss SLC, and Miss CHB

And the Skype part?  Well, let's just say I snuck in a little Skype time with my dear ol' brother for about five minutes this week.  It's the little things in life that really do put a 'bounce' in your step!
