A couple of weeks ago one of our neighbors approached us and asked if we would like their swingset. Their kids had outgrown it and it just needed a good cleaning and a couple new swings. Finally on Saturday we were able to get it set up. We had been thinking for awhile about getting a swingset or a trampoline. This just kind of fell in our lap and it was the right price....free! The kids have been enjoying it but I'm sure the newness of it will wear off eventually. At least they still have a few months to enjoy it while it's still nice outside.
A wrap up of the weekend....
Friday - I spent a lot of the morning in the kitchen making desserts for our Sunday School picnic. Then Friday night we went to Gary and Charla's house for the picnic. The weather turned out to be beautiful which was nice. The kids played outside on the swingset, rode bikes, and went fishing in the pond.
Saturday - Casey and I ran some errands in the morning. It was sooooo much easier to run errands with just 1 rather than 3 kids. We got stuff for our MCC school kits, some screws to fix the swingset, and a few groceries. We were home most of the day working outside on Saturday. It was a nice day to work as it wasn't so hot. Saturday night, Jr. and Syl, and Matthew and his friend Damon, came over to cook-out. It was a chilly evening and rather windy so our fire was really struggling. We all sat outside shivering wondering if it was August or October!
Sunday - We all went to church then I headed up to Solon for a baby shower for Matt and Heidi. They will be going to the Ukraine in the next 6 weeks to get their 2 kids. It was a fun shower and kind of made me want to adopt kids....just a thought. It was a nice time to get away from the kids for a couple hours and talk to friends without interruptions. T and I rode up together and we saw Jodi, Ellen, Dawn, Danielle, and others from Malone. Matt and Heidi are in for some serious changes here soon but I think once they make it through the transition period they will be fine. From the shower we headed over to Steve and Holly's for Taelor's 5th birthday party. She is such a cute little girl! The boys played outside most of the night while the girls stayed inside playing with Taelor's new Polly Pocket toys. They all played so nice...I don't think there were really even any fights! All in all busy but good weekend.
