Weekend happenings

It was a busy weekend for the Fifhause's. Saturday brought ballet class, house painting, OSU football against Standford (OSU won!!!!!!!!!!!!), and a visit from our dear friends Christine and Kevin. Christine celebrated her birthday a few weeks ago and as her gift we took both out to dinner. Jacob and I left the OSU game early so we could go out to eat before the game crowd. Jaden does not always enjoy restaurants and usually lets us know by yelling, but this time he was a perfect gentleman!!! We got SOOOOO lucky, it was wonderful, thanks little J.

Sunday all 3 of us volunteered for the Great Pumpkin Run hosted by Home Life, Inc., the non-profit organization I work for. This was my 3rd year volunteering for the event and we had more runners than previous years!! I work on the committee by creating the registration form and setting up the online registration, besides our day of volunteering. Maybe next year I will run in the 10 k event, we shall see.

I had to leave in the middle of the run to go teach Sunday School, I am teaching a 3rd-5th grade Sunday School class at the First United Methodist Church. I have volunteered for older grades in the past at my church growing up so this is different for me but I am enjoying the kids. Unfortunately none showed up this week :( We are learning about God creating the world, this past Sunday we were going to talk about the Sabbath (day of rest) so I guess everyone took the day of rest :) When finding out that no one was going to show up I headed back to the run to help clean up.

After our early morning we headed to Albany to celebrate Uncle Paul's birthday, Happy Birthday Paul. We met up with Ashley, Paul (of course he is the birthday boy), Mom, and then Christine and Kevin joined us as well for a nice lunch.

We have now started our week anticipating our trip to Illinois and Washington DC towards the end of this week. Can't wait to see all of our family in those parts of the country!!!
