ole schnikees: 2018

Tova: she started really rolling from back to side especially in bed, she'd sleep on her side and by the next time i'd go in there or check on her she'd be in a completely different spot/direction, started getting toys in her mouth, getting bored with her usual seats, put her in the jumper for the first time and she liked it and did great holding her head up, she was super tired sunday and Monday slept a lot and didn't stay awake her usual 2 hours,

we had our garage sale with matt & Jodi and Jake & Kassie. we had it at our house so that took up most of our time. I started setting it up Tuesday afternoon; Jake and kade came during it and jake helped while Trevor and Kade played and tova napped. Al was off Wed & Thurs so he helped then. mom came down Tuesday night, worked in Wisconsin rapids Wednesday, and then worked from our house Thursday and Friday so she could help with kids and the garage sale.

Wednesday I finished setting up; jake & kids, and Jodi and girls came over about 11 to finish setting up and then we opened about 1-5p. we had a good first day but less traffic than we'd hoped the next 2 days. Jodi, matt and their 3 kids :) stayed for supper (Al made pulled pork), watch a little America's got talent, and then we all had early bed times.

Thursday jake & kids and Jodi and kids were here at 8 to open the garage sale so the kids played while we all worked and watched kids/babies. the neighb's left at 1 to go to Camdyn's school carnival for his last day of school and came back about 3.

Friday rained before 7 am so I opened the garage sale myself while mom watched my kids, then jake & kids came, and later Jodi and kids. Friday was a bit hectic as the kids were all exhausted and not getting along great, Al had to sleep in cuz he had to work and we didn't get as many customers as we'd hoped. at about 445 Kassie got here and we started packing everything up. we packed all the kid stuff together since there was so much left, we're gonna try for another sale in the fall. so jake and I hauled it all to our basement to store then they all left. I finished putting some stuff down stairs, moved cars back front, and picked up our signs. we each made just over $200 and did $708 for the whole garage sale in 2.5 days. not bad but we would have liked to get rid of more stuff! Friday night we were all exhausted!

Saturday morning trevor and I made a pancake breakfast and afterwards, I ran to a couple garage sales (found a great one for trevor's next 2 sizes!) while mom played with trevor & tova napped, then got a few more things done before mom headed home. after lunch, tova took a 3.5 hour nap, trevor a 2 hour nap, and I got a little nap in too. tova was tired pretty much all day, only staying awake a max of 1.5 hours when she usually does 2 hours. but I did bring the jumper up and try her in it and she seemed to like it. she's been getting bored in her different spots lately so hopefully the jumper will help with that. Al worked 4a-4p so the kids and I just hung out and took it easy.

sunday morning the kids and I headed out to mom's house for softball. we played outside some until lunch and nap for tova, trevor just laid in mom's bed and watched a movie instead of napping. I played softball at 4 & 5 and we won both! I did ok. tova napped for a long time so mom and the kids didn't come. I grabbed a burger at the fields after the game, went to mom's to feed tova, packed up and we headed home. the right to bed for trevor and shortly after, tova, then me! we were tired!!!

Monday morning was trevor's first day of his summer activity classes, this week is soccer/basketball. so Monday was soccer and trevor loved it! he did so good with his listening, taking turns, keeping his hands to himself, and kicking the ball. he's so much better at all that than last year! after class, I fed tova, we grabbed lunch, then dropped tova at home to nap since she wouldn't during soccer (she was out and Al was home), then trevor and I met Jodi, matt and the kids at the new park that just opened. we ate our picnic lunch then played for a while; it's a pretty cool park but super busy. then we had ice cream with our friends before heading home for nap. trevor was out right away. I had a chiro appointment that was much needed and once I got back, we got trevor up and Tova woke up too. then Al mowed the lawn, we played, tova took another nap, then we went to the neighb's for a grill out.
