Happenings...

We had a pretty good weekend. All the littles were sick with colds so we didn't do much, just hung out together. On Saturday, Eric and I went around looking at garage sales and scored some really nice toys and an ironing board for me. The kids were quite happy with the things that we found for them. I found an old wooden Noah's Ark with matching animals to go in it, a wooden balance toy with wooden animals for it, some stacking cups, some big plastic animals, a popcorn popper push toy, Rescue Heros, and some other odds and ends. The ironing board is a vintage one and it's really nice. All steel and very sturdy. I can't wait to try it out tomorrow!LOL

We took the kids to the park yesterday but it was pretty hot and we didn't stay long. We drove around looking for one with no kids so we wouldn't share our germs. The new one we found was nice and not far from home. I can't wait to try it out on a cooler day.

Today, we made it to the Library and now I'm working on this blog while Sophia sleeps and then I'll get some housework done before the day is over. I'm waiting for the wash to finish so I can hang it out on the line but really I have no excuse for not working on other things, other than I REALLY wanted to post on my blog today.lol I'm glad that I took some time for me.

Here are some photos from this weekend...

Here's Sophia with our garage sale find...19 Rescue Heros for $8.00

Here is Isaac's creation from this morning during our school time. I was impressed that he actually colored, glued, and cut today. Usually I just get a piece of paper glued to my table.LOL

I'm thinking we should also be doing some school while it's SO HOT out these days... It's been at or very near 100 for several weeks now...

Ironing board? I got rid of mine when we moved last year and never replaced it. I have an iron...somewhere.

Great finds!

Cindy,

I've been slowly working Evie up to our new school schedule so that she won't be overwhelmed. We start our new year on Monday. It is hot!

Thanks Jodi! I'm happy that he's trying other mediums than just glue.lol

Well, I'm not a big fan of ironing but I'm stuck with it for now.lol I'm just glad to have a board that doesn't rock while I iron.lol
