Busy Weekend!

Our first weekend in June promised to be a very eventful one! I participated in the annual Burnsville Garage Sales on Friday and Saturday.  While I hoped to get rid of more stuff, I made some decent money (despite the fact that we were scammed by a lady and her mother now official known as the “sticker swappers”!)  Don’t get me started!

Friday night we were invited up to our friends for a neighborhood BBQ.  The kids had a blast, especially Kate when she got to jump/slide in the bounce house with the sprinkler attached.  She kept screaming, “This is so much fun!”  Annie, on the other hand, was not as adventurous as it was too cold for her liking. The adults had a good time catching up as well.

Saturday we had two soccer games.  Annie got a medal for her last day of soccer and ended the season feeling very happy she played.  Kate’s team lost their game but Kate got a nice goal which made her happy. Then it was back to man the sale.  The girls also had a birthday party for their friends in the neighborhood. As I was getting Annie ready for the party, she had a little accident with the counter and her face!  Blood was gushing and tears were flowing.  Brian took her to our neighbor friends who are doctors and they said we could wait until after the party to get stiches.  Annie was a trooper!  Within 15 minutes she was bandaged up (two Barbie Band-Aids on her chin) and at the party!  The party was a success and the kids had a blast. They even got their face painted and made their own flip flops!  Brian took Anners to urgent care after the party and luckily they decided not to do stiches.  The doctor said Annie was the best patient ever!  (We actually have come to know him quite well because of all our visits to urgent care!)

Oh and I can’t forget to mention that James had a milestone this weekend too.  He started waving!!!  It is the cutest thing ever, well next to his clapping (which he started about two weeks ago).  I think he may be a southpaw.  He claps, waves, and throws a ball with his left-hand.  Maybe he takes after his Grandpa David and Bapsie!

Well, that is about it! Now this week we are trying to catch up with household chores and get ready for another busy weekend!  Here is a pic that sums up how we all felt by the end of the weekend!  Annie, asleep with her face paint and glue/Band-Aids.
