This morning

And the last post for now.

This morning we headed up for our first trip to see the Clydesdale’s. We met some friends up there and even though it was breezy everyone had a good time!

Here are some photos:

Busy Weekend

Alright on to the second post about the weekend:

Since we are going to be staying in this house a bit longer(the housing market sucks if you want to sell!) we are working on de-cluttering the house. I cleaned up the basement and gave away/donated a bunch of stuff. Got all the art stuff out of the kitchen and on the shelves in the basement. I am working really hard on retraining myself to put things away in their spots instead of just tossing it on the counter. Now if I can get Jarod to do this too then we’ll be in business :0)!

Saturday was a really nice day, 70’s I think. We swept the leaves out of the front yard and did a bunch of raking. It looks really good. Oh, then we took a brake and went to Pizza Hut, Preston got his first Book It coupon of the year. Pizza Hut is his favorite - personal pan cheese pizza with NO sauce! After our late lunch we headed over to a sports store and picked up Preston some Soccer cleats. They are super fast shoes according to him ;0)!! So after we got home he had to play soccer for a while.

As for Sunday, Jarod had baseball and I continued working on the inside of the house until he got home….. and after his nap :0). Then we moved the trailer out of the backyard and onto the driveway. Now we just need to get the backyard swept so we can get the Swing Set. YES! We are getting a swing set. A neighbor and one of Jarod’s bosses is acutally giving us theirs. Payment is, us coming and getting it. Yep, we have to go and take it apart, woo fun… not!! Then we have to put it back together here. Hopefully we can round up some willing helpers :0)!

That about wraps up our weekend!

So I need to catch up today. I need to post about Friday, this weekend and today. I think I’ll post them all seperate and start with Friday, so here goes:

Friday morning we headed down the road to the Butterfly Place with the Mom’s Group. The kids loved it! We saw all kinds of butterflies and caterpillars. Oh, and a giant moth too!
