A Normal Saturday

How do I say this? I love what I do, but pastors don't get normal weekends like everybody else. I'm not complaining. Just explaining. So today was pretty cool. I had a normal Saturday which is abnormal.

I'm not preaching this weekend so I took Saturday off. I hit two soccer games. Josiah scored his first goal in pee-wee soccer. And it was from midfield. Goooooooooaaaaaaalllllllll.

Then we ate breakfast at The Market Lunch at Eastern Market. The French Toast and Blueberry Pancakes are ridiculous!

For all of you non-DCers, Eastern Market is a major hotspot on Capitol Hill on Saturday mornings. It's a flea market slash meat market slash vegetable market. And a few jewelry stands that seem like black market :)

We topped the day off watching Akeelah and the Bee. I absolutely loved the movie. Five stars. It was like Hoosiers except it was about spelling bees instead of basketball. I was, however, disappointed that it was wasn't based on a true story! It should be a true story :)

I even went to Home Depot with my boys!

Ah, the joy of a normal Saturday :)

Akeelah and the Bee is such a lovely wee film... completely predictable like, but it was just a lovely feel-good film. I saw it on the flight home from Chicago in the summer, was fun.

I watched Akeelah with my girls Saturday night too. I loved it so much I used it at our student gathering on Sunday night. I took the part where she reads the picture frame on the wall at Fishburne's house and played that....then I took the scene from UNITED 93 when everyone is praying, and put Frodo's dialogue with Gandalf about our "time" over it, and then mixed Akeelah and Fishburne's audio together of the quote on the wall... the students ate it up. Once again, great having you in Granger.
