DAY 4 (August 23rd): Babysitting Cousin & Garage Sale!
Well, I'm pretty sure Thursday was destined to be a not so adventurous day. First of all, my niece came over to spend the day with us today. We love our Little Miss, so it's not like it was a chore, but jealousy usually runs rampant on those days so I was expecting Gordy's attitude to be less than ideal. And, of course, he did not disappoint.
My usual course of action is to get them outside, or if the weather is not great have them re-organize the toy drawers (a.k.a. taking everything out, mixing them up and then watch Mommy/Auntie put it all away). Well, the weather was okay, so after breakfast we headed outside. We played on the swings, climbed on the playset and played with the balls. While the kids we playing hide and seek I managed to get a swing to myself. I was pumping away, and before I knew it I was swinging REALLY high! Once the boys noticed they wanted me to push them really high. No sooner had I sent AJ to fence top level than I felt my shoulder pop. NOT COOL! I managed to satisfy Gordy's swinging demand and them we all ambled back into the house.
Thank GOD Todd got home early! He was able to do the heavy lifting and watch the kids while I managed to sort the rest of the baby clothes for the next adventure of the day: THE GARAGE SALE!
(BTW: Little Miss will probably never allow Uncle Todd to "cuddle" with her again. She learned "cuddle" is code word for nap. Kudos to Uncle Todd for that success, though.)
The garage sale was more successful than we expected. Seeing as it was Thursday, we didn't expect much, but we figured "Why not?". We managed to sell a few items, so that was cool. The boys entertained themselves by playing tag with Daddy, or showing browsers how the Total Gym Worked.
We are continuing the garage sale Friday and Saturday, so hopefully more stuff will be unloaded on these days. Definitely going to at least a park during these days.
