Monday after nap we went to the apple orchard in eau Claire. we bought admission into their play area which is also a season pass, so now we can go as many times as we like! Trevor had a great time as did Al and I. the have little buildings to play in (jail, barn, school house), a big hay pile to climb on, some farm animals to pet, a big john deere tractor to climb into and drive, a pedal bike track, teepees with a tunnel in between, and lots of grassy area to run around in. there were only a couple other families there with us, so we got to do what we wanted, when we wanted, and had the animals all to ourselves. we spent the majority of our time at the animals; Trevor loves goats just like his momma and dadda!

Thursday Trevor and I went up to the cities after nap so that I could go to the woodbury jbf consignment sale. I went while mom watched and fed Trevor; I didn't find much which is pretty typical of the woodbury one (lots of overpriced things).

then Friday, mom, T and I went up to uncle jimmy's cabin again for the weekend. it was a beautiful weekend although a little windy. we played outside, went on the pontoon, T took baths with Tula :), we went for walks, and sat by the fire. we found a sweet garage sale on the way up and got a bunch of books for trevor for 25 cents a piece and clothes for $.25-$.50 a piece!!

Sunday we came back in the afternoon and then I had softball at 6 & 7. we were all exhausted after the cabin, the fresh air and the wind. T was sleeping by 745 and so I stayed after softball and saw some of the lunar eclipse. we played a really good team and during the first inning I thought the 2 games were going to suck, but they ended up being really good, close games. we barely lost the first game by 1 run and won the second by 2 runs!!

Monday we headed back to ec per usual and Al had the day off and it was the packer's game at 730pm. we went to the neighb's for supper and to watch the game.

Trevor is all about dadda these days!

Friday morning I went to the eau Claire consignment sale and got some great deals! it was busier than i'm used to but I got way better deals and on what we needed; I should go at the beginning of those sales more often. plus since it was busy, I just focused on what we needed and got in & got out. got T some thin long sleeve jama's in 24 month that we need now, the next size up sleep sack, and some shoes/boots.

then we drove up to the cities. Saturday morning we had our ALS walk in which the weather was beautiful! we had a good sized team pinecone again this year and went to stout's for lunch afterwards again. it was great to see family, especially the little ones! we got to meet the newest, Charlotte!

Saturday after nap, we ran to target to exchange diapers as we're finally needing to switch to size 4s. and while we were there, I measured Trevor's foot on the outline measurer thing in the kids shoe department upon my cousin's suggestion because Al had been mentioning that the size 5 shoes seemed a bit small. yeah, he's definitely a size 6 if not a 7 already! big feet! luckily, I had picked up a couple pair of tennis shoes in size 6 for him at the consignment sale and had a couple other pair from a once upon a child sale, or else he wouldn't have any shoes in his actual size. but I had bought those shoes thinking i'd be storing them til end of winter/spring. guess I gotta look for size 6 & 7 now at the sales. :)

sunday morning Shane, Jodi, & Luke came over to mom's for the boys to play and to watch the game. Luke loved Trevor and was constantly touching him or hugging him, it was so cute. T was a little unsure about the closeness of Luke, but he had fun showing Luke his toys. Al came up, too, right before the Vikings game started at noon since he'd had to work until 3 am that morning. the boys went down for nap right before the game so we were able to watch it without distraction. Trevor only napped for 1.5 hours while Luke napped for 3, so Trevor got some uncle shane and auntie Jodi time. it was a great, relaxing morning/afternoon.

sunday night Al watched Trevor while I went to softball and until mom got home from the Vikings game. then Al went over to shane's house to watch the packer's game and wrestling pay per view. we played softball in the rain the first game and then it quit for the second game. they were good games and we won both.

Monday we came home, played outside, and I planted some of the hostas I got from manda. my little gardens are looking good, I just hope they come back next year!
