While she went to her dance (where she "danced forever, drank a root beer, and ate a slice of pepperoni pizza"), the other 3 kiddos and I picked up some dinner and headed to the park. A few days earlier at the park we saw a mamma duck and her ducklings and we found them again Friday night.
Saturday we had a blast hitting up some garage sales. There were a few large neighborhoods having their community sales. Honestly, some people might think doing that with 4 kids 8 and under is crazy, but it was awesome! I mean, they're up by 6:30am anyway - so we grabbed some breakfast and a few movies for the car and hit the road. For the first several houses Marlie was the only one who wanted to get out - which was fine . . . And then for a few we would all get out . . . We stopped for a snack and then hit up a few more houses before heading home around 11:30 for lunch. Lots of treasures were found:
Marlie - 12 American Girl books for $4 and various other items
Samantha - some books and a mood necklace
Evan - some books, a bag of Thomas trains, and a Cars 2 poster (that he proudly hung over his bed)
Hudson - some books and a couple of shirts
Mommy - a fabulous chair for my bedroom
It was time to replace the rocker we have had since I was pregnant with Marlie. It was a fabulous chair and I was sad to see it leave . . . But Hudson isn't a rocking baby and Evan likes to sit in my lap for stories, so this new chair is a chair and a half and much better for story time. And I gave the chair away to a young couple with a baby girl - so it went to a good home.
Sunday was spent catching up on chores and running through the sprinkler. Hudson got dressed up for outdoor fun.
