A Week in Review

First of all, I’d like to update on my mom.  She is regaining her strength slowly.  Please continue praying for her.

On Friday night, I took my kiddos trick-or-treating.  Punky dressed up as Spiderman and Spunky was a bunny.  We went to our town’s annual Halloween festival on Main Street.  Spiderman did not like the crowds; so we decided to drive over to a nearby neighborhood.  Well, the little superhero fell asleep on the way there!  It was an early night for us.

Then my computer died the following day.  It is completely gone.  My husband hasn’t yet tried to retrieve the data on it (I hope he will be able to!), BUT he did surprise me with a new computer: an Acer Aspire One.  It is a mini-notebook computer.  I really like it so far.  There are some downsides to it, like the tiny screen, but overall, I am happy with it.  It is about $400 cheaper than a normal sized laptop with all of the same everything on it.  I can’t justify paying $400 for a larger screen and keyboard; so I am pretty sure that I am going to keep it.

I also dropped my fancy-schmany camera and broke the lens.  Now all we have it the distance lens, which really isn’t much good for the types of photos that I normally take.  SO, my hubby (what a great guy!!) brought me a little digital camera until we can save up some money to get another lens.  What a wonderful husband I have!!

We celebrated Punky’s THIRD birthday on Sunday.  He had all of his friends here for a racecar party.  It was great!  I made a race track cake in the shape of a three, the kids decorated race car cookies and they played a racing game.  I think everyone had a really nice time.  (I will get photos on here eventually!)We are doing well.  On Saturday we are going to celebrate the patronal feast of a nearby Orthodox Church.  I am really looking forward to that and to seeing our friends who just moved to that city last weekend.

Punky and I are off to the post office to mail some packages.  Have a nice day.
