Roadside score!
Overall, I would say our weekend was a great one, especially
considering the fact that Daddy was away on business…..AND I had to navigate
through hockey tryouts by my lonesome. I
successfully strapped on a full set of goalie gear for the very first time. It may have taken me an hour and four tries that
initial attempt, but I pulled it off.
Phew, I’m glad that is behind me.
At least I know how to do it now so no more excuses I guess! In our house, hockey falls under “Daddy’s
Department”.
On Saturday we enjoyed a wonderful visit with my sister and
her family. Although she only lives
about 45 minutes away, we don’t see each other nearly enough. The four boys always have loads of fun and
this visit was no exception. My two are
always pumped to be able to drive their bikes on a paved driveway and
road! This is pretty exciting compared
to our bumpy old gravel driveway. Patient
Uncle P was kind enough to spend the afternoon “fishing” with them (not a bite,
but no one seemed to care). I just
enjoyed the chance to be outdoors to enjoy a summery-feeling fall day.
Today my parents came up for a visit to meet their new “grandchildren”. We got a couple of lambs a few weeks ago, so
formal introductions were in order. I
actually named one of them Annie after my mother, for the granddaughter she’ll
never have (: Nanny and Grandpa treated
us to a yummy Thai dinner. The two
hockey players actually filled their bottomless pit tummies!
I can’t say I accomplished much on the practical end of
things. I did pull off a batch of chocolate
chip cookies for this week’s lunchboxes.
I made a great score on free roadside “garbage” to assist in my entry
way organization. This old shelving unit
was cast aside a few doors down and I could not resist. It is absolutely perfect for organizing the
ever-growing supply of family footwear.
Yay! I do love free garbage (:
