Weekend Wrap Up

We had one of those weekends where after it's over, you look back and wonder how in the world you made it through. We were so busy I hardly had time to sit down, much less shove in a meal or two.

Friday began our garage sale. Much to our surprise it went over incredibly well. I have not had one in years, and I know it has been a while for Lisa too. After we counted out our profits, we decided we would go ahead and plan another for later in the summer so my parents would have the time to go through a few more of their things. Really, the only thing better than the extra leg room around here is the extra dough in our pockets.

We only encountered one little problem all GS weekend. Road construction prevented us from putting up a sign in the yard and we had several complaints that people could not find the house easily. (I kinda figure the place with all the stuff in the yard was a dead giveaway, but I may be wrong.) To help, Turbo offered Nate a quarter an hour to walk with a sign at the edge of the driveway. He happily did and many people stopped by because of it. Someone even gave him a dollar tip and campaigned for a raise for him. I had to explain he was also receiving a commission on a few toys and was just as eager for customers as we were.

Saturday the garage sale continued, despite a bit of rain and a lot of road construction.

By late afternoon we were packed up and off to the grad party. The boys played, Lucy was passed around, we caught up with family and friends. As he so often does, Rex found a way to cement his status as our family lunatic. This time it was wrestling and he got a nice man sized shoe to the face. I'm sure his black and blue eye will go over well when he meets his kindergarten teachers next week. If anything it will give me practice explaining his fearlessness, something I will need to become good at.

We had loads of fun visiting and Turbo had loads of booze with my cousin's new hubby. All was fine and well until the Jager came out, then things in my family get pretty silly pretty fast. I don't even remember saying goodnight to the grad, but I doubt she'll remember anyway. College life is one thing, but celebrating your accomplishments after is another. Lets just say my cousin did her fair share of celebrating in very good company.

Sunday ended the sale and our tremendously long weekend.
Everyone kinda felt like this...
