Week in Review

I was really busy again last week so here goes another "week in review".

Last Monday I took my Girl Scout troop on a field trip to Paint A Pot which is a place you can go paint your own stuff and they fire and glaze it. We will be bridging to Juniors this year so I wanted them to make a plate to have as a Brownie keepsake.

Here is Riley working on her plate.


Tuesday: Tae Kwon Do...I recorded several videos during their classes and during the upload they disappeared! I guess I will try again this week :)

Wednesday, Thursday and Friday...garage sale! We sold a lot of stuff but I was really tired by Friday night! I packed everything up and finally came in the house around 8:30. It was nice to get rid of the stuff and really nice to have the garage back :)

Saturday was the Dandelion Festival in Borculo. I took the kids because Matt had to be at work. They had a great time as usual. I bought them an elephant ear to eat while we watched the parade. Carter did not want to try it but I convinced him. After he took a bite he said he was surprised it was good because he thought it would be yucky. It was at that moment that it made sense why he didnt want to try it...he thought is was a REAL elephant ear!





Sunday we had to work on our "to do" list. We are in the process of so many projects right now that something has to be worked on whenever we get the chance. We need to get more dirt to finish the front yard landscaping and then order the bark and some plants. I am putting some landscaping bricks around the rest of the house and we have 29 sections of fence sitting in the neighbors driveway waiting to be put in. So, Matt spent two hours returning and exchanging broken fence pieces to Home Depot and bricks at Menards. Lets just say after wasting two hours of the day on a silly return we no longer are fans of either store (sorry for those who may work there or have ties but we are no longer customers). Finding someone at HD that can answer a question is like winning the lotto and Menards treats their lumber area like the White House with their security. Matt was accused of stealing the crappy fence sections that he bought at HD when he tried to leave with the bricks he was getting from Menards. He had the HD receipt but that didnt matter. They don't even sell the same fence! UGH!!! Anyway, we will continue to be loyal Lowes customers from now on :)

The rest of the day we spent working up at the boat. We got it uncovered and worked on the engine a little bit. Only a few boats were in the water so that helped Matt relax. He feels really behind on getting the boat ready because last year we had already been painting and prepping it for the water. Hopefully it will be in the water within the next couple weeks.
