We Survived!

The last few days, most of our free time has revolved around prepping for today's yard sale.  Thankfully, it was a success, it's over, and we lived to tell about.  Thankfully, most of this stuff sold, and what didn't sell was immediately delivered to goodwill...

Yikes, right???!!!  Hopefully we don't accumulate enough stuff that we have to have another sale for a loooooooong time.  We really don't enjoy any of it...but might jump on the yard-sale bandwagon since people got some real steals from us.  Maybe we'll hit up Jupiter one weekend...

Despite the looming sale all week long, we did manage to sneak in a little fun too throughout the last couple of days, which I'm sure had a large impact on that fact that we're all still smiling this afternoon...

It's Family Place time at the library again, and you all know we love it there...

We've been working on our pincher grasp with this fun activity thanks to some tips we got at music class...

...just use tongs to pick up pom poms and sort them into ice cube trays... 

We're thinking they'd like loading up the dump truck with the pebbles from the driveway using their tongs next.  :-)

We got FANTASTIC Halloween cards from Aunt Sheryl that included pirate hats...

...the boys were in HEAVEN!!  

In going through all our stuff, we found Mickey's old matchbox cars...

...soooo cool to be able to play with Daddy's old toys.  Now to keep from losing them....

I managed to get my early morning workouts in every day last week.  I think it's almost a habit.  :-)  Those workouts included some great runs with my running buddy...

...I'm loving the slow, easy, chat-filled runs.  They definitely make life better.

The boys completed their first coloring contest at the Fresh Market...

...I'm pretty sure we've got some winners on our hands, don't you??  Love their style!

The boys also got their first sailing lesson at a little birthday party on a friend's sailboat...

...Gotta start 'em young, right??  They loved every second of being on that boat!  And check out the Hunter's Moon we got to enjoy as well...

...it was BREATHTAKING coming up over the horizon!  This picture doesn't even do it justice.

Now that the yard sale over, the rest of the weekend is dedicated to relaxation and family time.  We're continuing our Saturday nap time tradition this week with a movie on the couch...

...Saturday afternoon movies might become a habit too.  Fine by me...

Gotta think of a fun place to think of for dinner.  We deserve a little post-yard sale treat, don't you think??

Happy Weekend!!
