Will it rain?!

We had a great time this weekend! The kids really had fun at the park, they were running around picking what rides they wanted to get on. Caden even got on the Merry-Go-Round, he didn't seem to mind it. He gave a big yell once it stopped. We walked over to see if the little train was running, but of course it wasn't. He would have loved that, as well as his cousin Parker. And the fireworks were nice, yes...we stayed for them. I think my Mom had a good time too, she loves the kids. She has made 6 ceramic items for the Community Picnic, they sell tickets and have a drawing to win prizes that people have donanted. There were some really nice items, a few quilted quilts, and some crocheted ponchos and afghans, and a really nice picket bench(which I really wanted to win, but didn't :o( ). I think I am going to make at least two afghans for next year, I am planning on making them the school colors since everyone in the town are BIG high school football fans. I have been looking for a new pattern, just haven't found one I like yet.
I am going to spend the day cleaning around the house, JJ is at John's playing, and Caden is playing in his exersaucer. I can get some stuff down. Don't think we will be swimming today, cloudy out.

WOW! It's been a long time since I last posted, haven't really been busy...just enjoying the summer. We have had alot of nice days, and swimming has become our life! I have been letting my house work go as well...guess it's a good thing it is going to be raining this weekend!
I have been thinking about Christmas presents, and what to make or get for family and friends. And I got side tracked while looking for new patterns, and came across a few posts about the Pine Ridge Reservation(www.spirit-rising.org) . I am going to sponsor a child, it doesn't seem all that hard to do, and it won't be expensive either. I already went through some of Caden's old clothes, and will be sending them as well as some crocheted things I have made.
I did take a few evenings and made 2 squares for Dman's( www.dmanhero.com ) comfortghan. Since he likes his trians, I made a little design and whipped that up quick.
Tomorrow afternoon we will all be going to Delgrosso's Park(http://www.delgrossos.com/dap.html ) for Bellwood Community Night, they are having a chicken dinner, and then fireworks....and I guess we are going to stay for them.
I want to make sure we get a few nights at Lakemont Park( http://www.lakemontparkfun.com/) for the Wing Off, missed the last two years. I love chicken wings!
