2020 :: 33/52

 Tuesday morning we found an epic garage sale in which Al and i both had our arms full, paid, put that stuff in the car and went back for a second round! 

wednesday morning we had a water day at jodi's house including 2 pools, a water table, squirt guns, our slip n slide, water balloons and friends. it was fun but not really that sunny/hot out; that didn't bother the kids much tho. 

thursday was prep for cabin day and a bit of garage saling although their weren't many. 

friday morning we all packed up and left for uncle jimmy's cabin which is usually a 5 hour drive. it took us over 8 hours because we stopped at a bunch of garage sales along the way and stopped at a beach playground. we made it just in time for supper and nana was already there. maren, nick and their girls didn't come up until late that night. 

saturday morning after breakfast i took maren shopping and although we didn't make it to many, we did find some good stuff! the grandparents took the kids out on the boat while we were gone. then during nap time, i got to read and nap on the boat a bit then we helped uncle jimmy take out a dead tree from the lake. after quiet time, we played, ate supper, had a gorgeous boat ride, a bonfire with s'mores, and then bed time. 

sunday we packed up and headed out about 10 am. we met maren, nick and girls along the drive for lunch and a quick park play. 

monday Al went back to work. it was mostly cleaning, crafting, laundry and play for us in the morning. then after nap, we went to jodi's for another water day and ended up staying for supper and s'mores. right as i was packing up to leave, tova fell off the teeter totter and cut her lip. after the bleeding stopped i realized that she'd actually pushed one of her beautiful front buck teeth up into her gums about halfway. :( it was bruised and swollen and painful but the dentist wasn't too worried about it and said it should come back down into place by itself.

2020 :: 32/52

Tuesday morning the kids and i loaded up and headed to wausau to meet auntie Althea and Liam. we met them at Rib Mountain state park and i had forgotten how cool that place is! i hadn't been in over 10 years. the kids loved climbing on the rocks and then we hiked for a bit before having our picnic lunch. then we went to Althea's house so Liam could show Trevor his room and Tova liked petting Althea's dog and cats. then we went to a smaller park with a little nature trail that we saw tons of deer on and there was a small playground too that the kids enjoyed. then we went to briq's for some ice cream treats for trevor's half birthday before we headed home. we had a great day! 

Al was off wednesday and thursday. it involved lots of garage saling and playing at our house. Trevor lost another tooth (bottom front) and turned six and a half. wednesday night we went to matt & jodi's house for wings from hangar! thursday we also stopped at hope gospel thrift store. the kids and i dropped Al off there and then went to the little farmers market across the street and got cucumbers, dill, ground cherries and flowers (trevor really wanted to get flowers since we hadn't yet this year :])

the kids both have allergies right now; stuffy noses and sneezing. 

mom came down saturday to sunday. we attempted some garage saling but they were kinda busts. we only spent limited time outside since it was so humid! Sunday trevor and i finally made our fridge pickles and the kids did the dishes. 

monday morning i ran to the dentist quick to get a chip fixed and then once home we went to the big park with jodi and the kids before it got too hot and too busy. then we stopped at a garage sale where i got tova a moana costume for $1. after nap, we all played downstairs; trevor and Al tested video games that Al is selling and i prepped for our garage sale we're having, tova played with toys.
