Yard Sales

Last weekend was great for us. Erin and Libby went to the beach with Clyde's sister, Maylee. They left on Friday and we met in Asheboro, Sunday night. They had a great time, visiting Grammy and Papa, for the whole weekend. I think that Maylee was totally worn out from our girls. They keep your mind and body moving all day with the endless energy and questions. I am glad that they made it safe and sound and that they all returned in one piece.

Our boys also had an adventurous weekend. They spent the night with Bubbie and Pop Pop. They had a blast playing with all of the animals. They played in the sand, that was in the round pin. Mom said that she had to watch the boys when they went to feed the horses, because she didn't want any fingers to have been accidentally bitten. Bubbie and Pop Pop also have two new sheep dog puppies at their house. The puppies belong to Uncle's Kellen and Ty. They are cute puppies, both girls, named Mia and Dede. They also have a rottweiler and a bull terrier. Both of those dogs are mixed breeds, but the boys love playing with the animals.

I didn't know what to do with the house so quiet. Penny and I played for most of the morning. Once she went down for a nap, I began to clean out our 'Harry Potter' closet, which is under our stairs. Really, the closet is big enough for a twin bed...awfully tempting to put a child in there... Anyway, I organized it as much as possible, before I took a nap on the couch. I had forgotten how good naps feel, when not interrupted by children's questions, every 10 minutes. Around 3:45, I started brownies,because once Clyde came home from work, we were off to some friends house for dinner. I had such a good time catching up with them and seeing their baby girl. I am excited for them, as they are expecting once again!

The date didn't end there!! I made arrangements with my VTing comp. to come over and sit, while Penny was sleeping. Clyde laid Penny down, before we left and we were off to see Harry Potter. I had already seen it, and it was good the 2nd time around. Then on Saturday morning, we slept in a bit, and then were off to do some yard saling. I miss that! We found a toy chest, a new pair of shoes for Libby, some cookware, and hamster stuff. I had a blast. We also drove around some what house hunting. I enjoy that too. For lunch, we went to our favorite sandwich shop of Quizno's and ate. I love that place. I especially love using coupons!! Then Clyde bought me the new Harry Potter book. I'm not quite finished, but it is excellent! (I am where the characters have just left Gringotts...)

Later that night, we met my parents at their ward's Pioneer Day celebration. It was nice visiting with the familiar faces and getting our boys back. As I have mentioned they had a blast with Bubbie and Pop Pop. Clyde was asked to grab a few fellas and help move a baby grand piano of a family who was moving into the ward. Clyde said, "Hey, I don't even go to this ward!" He grabbed a few fellas and off they went to move a piano, to the upper level of their townhouse. I am impressed with Clyde's strength!

Now as we are all back together, we have spent the morning today, sorting and folding close to 7 loads of laundry. The sad thing, is that we still aren't finished. Grammy and Maylee, took the girls yard saling as well, so they brought home things that needed to be laundered. Ahh...yard sales!!
