Summer Weekend Warriors 8/17: Puzzles, Parties, and Ponies

Saturday we had a low-key day doing something very summery but not on our list...we went hunting for treasures at garage sales! I know some people make this a hobby and that's not really me, but I do love a good garage sale. There are a lot of good deals to be found, especially for kids stuff. When you think about it, the life cycle of kid items is pretty short, because they grow out of things so fast, from clothes to toys! So you can find good quality items if you find the right sale, and not pay a lot for something that may only be used for a short time. We hit a few sales looking for some girls clothes and found a couple of items, but scored bigger on some early reader books and this great U.S. puzzle/game. We had lots of fun playing with it that day, and I anticipate many more times to come.


Sunday was cousin H's 11th birthday. This girl is growing up too fast! We had a truly awesome afternoon celebrating her big day and catching up with everyone. It was some much-needed relaxation and reconnection with family.



Lucy didn't leave the party empty-handed...Miss H handed down a boatload of her My Little Ponies to her cousin. Lucy was in HEAVEN. It was all about the ponies the rest of the night, outside or inside, it didn't matter.
