Even though this weekend felt like fall, it was a blast. Friday night we had dinner with my family and then we played cards with my brother and his fiance. We were reminiscing about elementary school and pogs. Do you remember pogs? It was one of those times where we were laughing so hard it hurt as we talked about "playing for keepsies" and describing our slammers. Maybe you had to be there. I think the funniest part was trying to explain what a pog was to Garth. Poor kid never heard of them. It sounds like such a lame game when you have to explain it, but it was so fun.Saturday I had to work all day because I had to cater an event in the morning and run a meeting that afternoon. I am lucky I only have to work about 2 Saturdays a year, but I dread them! Waking up at 6a.m. on a Saturday should NOT be allowed. When I got home Garth had cleaned and done the laundry. Bless his heart. He is the best husband! I was so tired so we were lazy the rest of the day, watching TV and eating pizza rolls.
Sunday we went to church and the message was awesome and they sang my favorite worship song ("Marvelous Light"). We went to lunch with the fam and then we watched "Duplicity" with Julia Roberts and Clive Owen. Personally, I thought the movie was too complicated. I don't like to have to think THAT hard during a movie, but it was okay.
The rest of the evening was spent watching TV and grocery shopping for the week. I'm already counting down until the next weekend.

He he, I almost fell out of my chair laughing when I read about about the pogs! I remember those silly things, but I cannot remember the point of collecting them. I am pretty sure I just wanted to posses them. Thanks for the laugh!
yeppers...I remember them - I'm with you about working on Saturdays!! I have to work every 3rd Saturday...ehhhh - it's nice have a few days off during the week, but I like my Saturdays...and now the kiddos are in school, I feel like I miss out!
Girl, that is soooo funny you said that, because I didn't really care for Duplicity either. It required too many brain cells, you really shouldn't have to think that hard during a movie, haha!!
What a fun weekend!
I am SO happy you mentioned pogs! It's such a coincidence because my friends and I were literally just talking about them a few days ago. We were thinking what a dumb concept, yet we kids still went nuts over them!
Poor Garth, not knowing about pogs. I loved them!!!
Ahh, I remember those things!! Though, I can't for the life of me remember what the game was. lol.
Sounds like a great weekend!
Pogs? For some reason I'm drawing a blank. I got nothing...hmmm...
I love "Family Time" :)
Sounds like a nice weekend [minus the working :)]. You are your husband are so stinkin' cute together :)
I remember pogs! I didn't have many, but my favorite ones were some "Pinky and the Brain" Pogs. Remember that little sub show on Animaniacs? Maybe not, but I'm a dork that way...
Your poor hubby is out of the loop again! First Mario Cart...now pogs!!
LOVE marvelous light! Hope this week flies by for you so you can enjoy a relaxing weekend!
OMG! My husband and I were playing trivia last night and one question had an answer choice of pog and he had no idea what it was so I was trying to explain to him that it was a game... too funny that you mentioned them!
I remember Pogs! My brother and I each had our own collection. The game is definitely lame sounding but it did provide much entertainment.
Garth missed all the fun!
I remember pogs! We used to trade them! LOL, sounds like you had a great weekend!
We watched Duplicity, too...it was complicated!
and yes, I remember Pogs, but I didn't get it even as a kid. I never liked them, but somehow I had a million!
Yes I remember pogs...and slap bracelets!
That was probably around the same time that 2 Legit by MC Hammer was the coolest song ever!
I'm so sad!! Everyone is having Fall-like weather, but we won't get anywhere close to Fall for probably 2 months... it's still close to 100 degrees!!! :(
Mmm. Pizza rolls and pogs. Sounds fabulous :) For the record, I do remember them!
I remember those! Too funny!
I remember pogs! I'm pretty sure they were banned from my elementary school because they were becoming a distraction to students. Haha!
I had totally forgotten about pogs! It would definitely be hard to explain the concept to someone else. I'm so envious of your fall-like weather!
Sounds like the perfect weekend! Minus you having to work on Saturday, of course. Ahhh POGS, what a blast from the past! I can only imagine how difficult it would be to explain it to someone who has never heard of them. Too funny!
One time, in grade 6, I got sent to the prinicpal's office because of pogs. I was playing FOR KEEPSIES with the school bully and I beat him. I was so proud of myself, took all his pogs, then he started to cry and told the teacher he didn't really want to play for keeps. I was not ready to back down though, so I put up a fuss and got sent to the office and had to give them all back :( DON'T PEOPLE KNOW WHAT PLAYED FOR KEEPSIES MEANS?? Gosh.
I LOVED pogs! I used to collect them. I had a metal Slammer. Only the cool kids had metal slammers. At least that's why my mom told me..
Pizza rolls....HEAVEN!!!
That is too funny! I can't imagine trying to explain pogs.
i certainly remember pogs! loved them!
pizza rolls! yum! i haven't had any in forever....
sounds like you two had a great weekend hun!
POGS! My sister was OBSESSED with these!
I remember pogs!! I'm sure your husband thought it was ridiculous because now that I think back on them, it sounds so lame :)
Send Garth over to my house. It definitely needs some cleaning and the laundry needs some washing! Haha!
Counting down to the weekend is the only way I survive the week - for sure!
PS: good song taste! ;-)
Sounds like a great weekend!! Your hair looks cute! (as always!)
I've been wondering about that movie!...good to know!
Pogs were so cool. Playing for keepsies was a must, and when they got band at school, we'd have secret meetings! Oh the memories!
ok.. i don't know what pogs are. did i miss something?!
OH I totally remember pogs! How funny!
OMG i totally remember pogs!!! hahaha. great trip down memory lane.
I remember pogs!! Sounds like a good weekend :-)
you guys remind me so much of us... that picture is adorable! :)
We watched Duplicity too -- and although I liked it, I'm not sure I really got it? Even by the end?? It was a lot of work for a movie.... but I love Julia Roberts and hope she's back! And Clive Owen? I'll take him too :)
Sounds like you had a good weekend!
You two are SO cute!!! :)
And pogs?! LOVED THEM! I bet I could still find mind somewhere in my parent's attic... somewhere... some place... now you've got me wanting to look! :)
It sounds like your weekend was amazing. I'm so happy! :)
Oh my! I totally had forgotten about pogs! Ha! My brother and I had a pog maker where you could add pictures to them!
I SO had Pogs. We got in trouble with them at school b/c our Elementary School deemed them a form of "gambling". So we had to have a covert pog playing operation. All very scandalous for a bunch of 5th Graders. My slammer was AWESOME.
Loking at your picture, y'all are going to have kids with the biggest, brightest smiles, ever! So cute!
&& what weekend isn't amazing when pizza rolls are involved?!
Pogs! I remember those! Too funny! Glad you had a great weekend!
Oh my gosh - POGS. I've forgotten all about those....
I loved pogs!
I didn't even know there was a 6am on Saturdays...ha ha :)
I had such an awesome pog collection... and the pog tubes!
Ha POGS! I completely forgot about those! They were so much fun!!
Sounds like a great weekend, minus getting up at 6 on Saturday!!
Have a great week!
POGS!!! i totally remember that i had this slammer that had a picture of an 8ball and I thought it was the coolest thing ever.
Oh my goodness - POGS! What a fun memory to pull out of the hat! My slammer totally had a ying yang on it and was tie-died! however you spell that. LOVED IT! I also kept all my pogs in a hot pink container. I was hip, let me tell you!
It sounds like a nice weekend, minus the work part. That was so sweet of Garth to clean!
I never played with pogs but I do remember them haha. What a sweet hubby to have the house cleaned when you got home. What do you do again? I think you've said before but I need a refresher...
Oh Pogs and slammers, I envied the cool kids with the awesome looking slammers! :)
