Great Weekend

We had such a great weekend! Our yard sale was successful and we are going to have another one in a few weeks with our neighbor...well, not with, but alongside (you get it). But the best part was that my sister came over with her kids to help! And I just can't believe I did not take a single picture the whole time!

The kids stayed inside most of the time during the sale. Caitlin made several appearances to "help," which really meant singing and playing the drums on rock band. She was pretty sad when we sold it and didn't quite get why the people were taking it away. Most of the people who came were really nice but you always get the occasional odd-ball. We did feel really bad for a mom who came with four kids. The oldest was about 6 and the youngest was a month old and only in a diaper. It looked like they all hadn't had a bath in a while and the kids were in PJ's that were too small with the feet cut out. We helped her find the sizes she needed and pack it to the car. Then I looked through my free box of baby clothes for all the boy stuff I could find to give her. I was glad I had a lot of stuff that would work for her.

During the afternoon, Colton stood up in the middle of the living room all by himself....without holding onto anything!!!! Too bad I wasn't there to see it! Since then, he's been letting go of everything so he can stand by himself. We may just have another walker on our hands in a few weeks.

Saturday night, my sister took us (except for Caitlin, Colton, and Dennis) out to teppanyaki. I had never been to that restaurant here, but Dennis said it was pretty good....and he was so right! We had a great time and there were so many leftovers! I just finished the last of it for lunch today and I'm wondering when I can get more!

Sunday was bagels for breakfast and then my sister and her clan left for home. Dennis did a ton of laundry while I went to the mall to do errands with Colton. I think this week is going to be back to normal since we are all healthy again. Oh, and I did not make the cupcake explorer list. There were over 700 entries and she only chose 50. Once the recipe is published, I'm definitely going to have to give it a whirl!

I hope everyone has a great week. I'm off to give Colton a bottle and put him down for a nap!
