Not much took place this weekend, but I feel like I should post anyway (for you few followers that are dying to know what we're up to... haha!).
Saturday we made a quick visit to Cityfest (Auburn's big outdoor event held by Parks&Rec). I just wanted to see what the yearly hype was about, but it was hot, so we didn't stay long. Lots of booths filled with crafts and things and some live music. Maggie had the time of her life smelling all the other dog smells.
Sunday was my last day in the nursery at church (City Kids). I have absolutely loved keeping the kiddos during the service. Even at such a young age, they each have their own personalities and I've learned each one of the usual's by now. Most Sundays are a little chaotic with lots of diapers to change, making sure no is swapping sippy cups or pacifiers, and calming mommy-missing blues. But I will miss it all. I've volunteered for about a year and in that short amount of time I've watched them grow. They learn to crawl or walk and start talking, then they grow out my class and move on to the "big kids" room. It's bittersweet.
I spent the rest of Sunday engrossed in The Help (while Jesse and his friends were off shooting each other with airsoft guns). I made myself go to bed last night before finishing it so that I wouldn't be up so late. It is by far the best book that I've read in a LONG time! If you haven't read it, you should. End of story. I'm sure you've already heard about it, so I won't give you a summary, but it's a must read for every Southern lady. It is written so well. Southerness just seeps from the seams of it, making me smile laugh at many of it's references. I have not seen the movie, because I haven't finished the book yet. I'm looking forward to seeing it soon, though!

I loved the book too. The movie was good but the book is always better than the movie. Aunt Vera
