A Busy Saturday...

For starters, I must digress to last night-Up! was an awesome movie! I highly recommend it to everyone! Bring tissues though-it's emotional!
Anyhow, today started at 6:00 am. I got up before everyone else and gathered a few items to take next door to the neighbors. My neighbor, Amy, let me add a few items in to her yardsale (today was the neighborhood sale). I took over the toys Ethan and I weeded out of his room this week, a couple random items and some clothes that Kate had outgrown, but nothing crazy. We made $33, which was pretty nice for having to put forth any effort! I have since added it to the milk jug that Ethan and I started for our vacation fund.
I escaped the yardsale madness for a short while to take Kate to her very first gymnastics class. She did a great job-and I got quite a workout...I left there exhausted (at 10:00 am!). I then came home, picked up Ethan and headed to the seamstress' house to pick up my headache of a bridesmaid dress. My sister is getting married in three weeks, and my dress is cursed and the subject of much drama. Anyhow, after handing the very nice lady (really, she is) $100!!!!!!!!!!!, I left with a dress that fit and was FIVE inches around smaller than when I took it. It's pretty-but not worth all the money and headaches!
The kids and I made a quick pitstop at Sonic and grabbed slushes and lunch for Scott (who was working and missed all the fun the day had to offer). We ran to the radio station, dropped off the food and then headed to Gattitown to a birthday party for one of Ethan's friends. It was fun-both kids enjoyed it. I met hid friends' mom, which was nice, because I really don't know many people around here (oh-I also met my new neighbors during the big yard sale-they were nice and have a 3 year old girl!). We exchanged numbers and said we'd get the kids together soon. She was super nice...and has a son Ethan's age, a daughter who's 3 and 6 month old TWINS!!! OMG!
After the party, we ran back to visit with Scott and then came home, where we all collapsed for a much needed nap. Now, we are waiting for Scott to get home, so we can make a much needed trip to Sam's Club.
Tomorrow is my last day of vacation and I am super sad! I will do some cleaning, add pictures to the computer that are wasting away on my computer and then enjoy the day!
