all this week we were outside in the gorgeous weather from about 930 am to sometimes 8 pm except for nap time. it was hot and the sun was shining! wed-sat mornings I went garage saling by myself for an hour and scored some great deals! toms shoes for T for $.50, a wheel barrow & lawn mower for him for a $1, a cozy coupe car for Tula for $4, a plastic see saw for Jodi for $4, a sturdy book shelf for $1.50 (needs to be painted but not if it goes in the basement), the next step up of puzzles for T for $.25 a piece (I've been looking for these for a while, and just as I thought he's great at them! need to find more), little people jungle setup with a bunch of animals for $3, couple items of clothes for T for $.25-$.50. I've been really lucky in my findings this week!
exactly one week + one day after our offer was accepted, the neighb's got a house too!!! and it's .6 miles from ours! 3 long blocks down and 3 short blocks over, definitely walkable! they close july 15th, we close july 29th! so we celebrated with a trip to cancun with them and Kassie, jake and kade! we also had some grill outs and drinks on the patios this week due to the celebrations and nice weather! we're gonna miss living right next to them but at least they're close; and we'll soak up all the time we've got left!
we've been going on our walks every day still but now we do them after dinner so it's not so hot! and Trevor loves the lilacs (ya-yacks) and to smell them! it's so cute! we're sad they're starting to fade already! He has been talking so much more this week! and his favorite word right now is 'ok'; he says it for everything and it sounds so cute! he'll also say his form of okie dokie. he says so many new words this week I can't even remember them.
Saturday morning we went to the farmers market with the all 4 of the neighb's and we bought some super delicious salsa (they didn't have much for veggies yet). we also walked around the park area and across a walking bridge for a little bit. then the neighb's ran some errands while T and I stopped at a garage sale, found a park to play at, and then home for lunch and nap.
sunday, all 3 of us went up to the cities and right when we got there we dropped of T and picked up Al's golf clubs. I then dropped Al off at manda and johnny's house as he was going golfing with Johnny & 2 of his friends. T hung out with mom while I organized our stuff in the basement for when we move into the house. I had softball at 6, mom, Al and Trevor all came to watch, as well as my dad. we won right at the end, we were down 2 runs in the last inning and with 2 outs we loaded up the bases with a walk, me on first. johnny was up and hit one off the top railing of the homerun fence scoring 2 and putting me on third (barely, I had to slide which I haven't done in 2 years). then jaci got up and hit a beautiful base hit to score me and get the win!
Monday morning we headed back to ec after breakfast but stopped at the little game park in menomonie to walk around it a bit and see the buffalo, elk and deer. we found out they have some nature trails to walk along back there too so we'll be going back with better footwear.
