What a FUN Weekend!

So maybe I have a "convienent" memory. :-) Some funny things did happen this weekend (Memorial Day) and WE got a LOT of stuff done!

We went garage saling on Saturday. J GAVE S some of HIS money!!!!! They both left with $5 in quarters. S had to buy something at each sale. ;-) After the first sale J asked "How much did S *waste*?" :-) Too funny. On the way home S was complaining about a Arthur doll she had bought that needed a couple of stitches to hold up his glasses. I told her I could fix that with needle and thread. From the back seat - loud as can be - I hear "YOU can sew?????!!!!" In a voice that can hardly believe what I said. :-)

"Yes, J, I can sew."
"Like Gma and Aunt J?" he asks still amazed
"Well, yes."
"Then why don't you make stuff" he says - testing me
"Because I don't enjoy doing the stuff that Gma and Aunt J do, I'd rather scrap book."
"But we could have more blankets if you did"
Never fear - leave it to J to figure out how EVERYTHING can benifit him.

Sometimes I wonder that if in his eyes I'm just the dumbest woman ever put on the earth. :-) I know I'm the worst mother. ;-)

They played outside ALL weekend. The mud hardly ran down the drain after their baths. ;-) J can NOt get enough of "playing".

We got out ALL the summer stuff and *almost* have all the winter clothes put away. Yesterday it was in the 70s. Today it's around 50. Ugghh. I *do* always leave out some winter clothes - but it's just the point of it all.

S and I went to see O's game. That was really fun. I love to watch them play. Same way with Mrs G's son. J's games are getting better. It's just that I'm usually busy with whatever is keeping S occupied.

S did well this weekend. A little bit of naglet. But she can tone it down if asked. I really need to get the "softeners" in her - but I can't figure a time that it would hit at home and not at school. I totally forgot about it this weekend.

B made the BEST meals this weekend. He is such a good cook. I was SO glad he took over this weekend. AND he cleaned up. LOVE that!!!! I think he knows the government checks are getting closer to us and he wants to make sure he gets to spend his cut frivolously. ;-)
