I actually had a super long weekend... 5 days, and it was heaven. Why do we have to work?!?!?
Thursday and Friday I took off from work. Nikki and I held another garage sale Thursday night (which was a huge success) and Friday during the day (not as huge of a success!) But that's ok. We got rid of a lot... but we still had stuff to put back in the basement!
I enjoyed Thursday to just myself. I hung around the house Thursday prepping for the sale. I had barely touched the garage sale stuff for weeks, so I had a lot to do, but it was ok... I was alone and just enjoyed it. I met an old friend for a quick lunch, then back to the house to work some more. It was a great little day.
Friday was the sale again... again, not very successful due to the rain. Friday night we grabbed supper, and back home to relax. I was completely wiped out.
Saturday:
Kayson had a hair cut appointment... then back home for Cora's first play date. The girls did great! We then met Trish, Greg and Hope for lunch... they were in town just farting around, it was super nice to see them. Saturday afternoon we just hung out at home... lots of playing (and a 3 hour nap for lil miss). Saturday late afternoon some of the neighbor boys were over playing hoops with K and Ryan. Lots of fun for those kiddos. We had a quick supper at home... and then it was quiet the rest of the night. The kids, especially Kayson, were tired.
Sunday:
Church... then back home to pack up. We headed down to Creston. The afternoon we just let the kiddos play like crazy outside. It was a beautiful day, so that was awesome. Then we went to celebrate Jenna's graduation open house. Again, outside and just enjoyed the weather. It was a super nice time. We took the kids back to Ryan's folks around 8... got them cleaned up and to bed by 9:00. it was great. They were all tired, and went to bed great. Unfortunately, Cora did not sleep well. We don't have a small blow up bed anymore for her (it busted), so we took her sleeping bag thinking that would work. Not so much. She started being restless about 2:30 am... then by 2:50 she was awake and whining. I tried everything... laying with her, laying her in the bed with Ryan and I, rocking her, just talking with her... everything. Finally by 5:00 am, she was back in the room (bed with Ryan) and she was finally asleep. What a terrible night. She literally hasn't done that since she was 8 weeks old!!! ha. We obviously need to figure something else out when we are travelling and sleeping away. She just doesn't do well at other people's houses.
Anyway, Monday we woke and just started playing right away. Another beautiful day, so we were outside in the morning... then headed home around 11:15. We just wanted to be home and have a day at home. I got laundry done, groceries, and more playing with the kids... thank goodness for the gorgeous weather, otherwise, I would have been on the couch sleeping.
It was a nice weekend... tough to be back to work now!! :)
Here are some great pics of the weekend.
