Yard Sale + Park = Fun Weekend

Okay, so Saturday started a little too early for me . . . we were up and active well before 6 am . . . ughhh . . . but it was for something well needed and fun . . . a neighborhood yard sale. Jeff and I spent the week going through the house and finding things we didn't need/use/want . . . and put them in our very organized garage (thanks for that Hun!) . . . we were told to expect people as early as 6 am . . . so we were ready!



Jeff and I were still setting up . . . Jeff went inside for something and a creepy old guy showed up, got out of his car, looked at me and said "Do you have any weapons?" . . . "ummm, nope, no weapons here (nervous laugh)" . . . yeah, okay, whatever . . . other than that creepy guy we had a great sale . . . we made over $250 buckeroos . . . which we are donating to the Johnathan Thomas Sponseller college fund . . . donations still being accepted! :-)

The rest of Saturday was a blurr . . . we had easily over 100 people throughout the day . . . some people were nice, some were just plain mean (you want how much for that, ha!), and others were looking for someone to talk to . . . Jeff was GREAT about it all . . . he has his little schpeal down perfect . . . as soon as we were 30 minutes to Buckeye kick-off, we closed down . . . I really tried to watch the game, but took a nap instead . . . Buckeyes won! yeah! . . . then we went out to dinner and ice cream . . .

Sunday we woke up to chilly weather, it was a really nice change . . . we opened all the doors and windows and I just love it when we can do that! I used to morning to work on some projects that may or may not be for christmas this year . . . and Buggy (that's my new nick-name for Johnathan . . . buggy, bugs, buggy-boo, you get the idear) just hung out . . .



And then we decided it was time to take our little boy to the park . . . I was more excited than Johnathan and Jeff put together . . .


(What's that? Oh you like my hat? Thanks! I made it, yeah I made it . . . that's right! I'm creative! Who knew?)

. . . and maybe a little bit of the excitement was about the pictures I knew I could take . . .









THESE photos are why I love my camera . . . so so much . . . these photos are worth every tease I get for pulling out my camera . . . worth every "oh you want another photo, ughh" . . .worth every "what are you a photographer?" . . . no I'm not a photographer, but I love taking photos . . . and wouldn't you if this is what you got to take photos of . . .

Daddy helping Johnathan down the slide . . .


Doesn't he look so happy and excited?
















He LOVED the swing!! Loved it! I can't wait to bring him back!!!


Always insepecting things . . . "hmmm, so this is a swing? okay, the hangy thing is attached to the wood thing . . . okay, I get it!"


Then we came back home and just hung out . . . there was football on the TV . . . I was crocheting (just call me Grandma) . . . Johnathan was a busy bee on his toys . . . Brutus barked at the neighborhood rabbits . . . it was just us and just perfect . . .
