Friday, we held our 'block party' in our backyard. I spent the day shopping and planning the party. It turned out well. The kiddos played in the water, while we cooked, ate, and played some washers. Here are a couple of pictures one of the our friends' daughter, Raygan (4), took during the party.
Saturday morning I worked on cleaning up from the night before. Then Raegan and I went to a new consignment store, where we bought puzzles, that we played with a lot this weekend. Philip came home for dinner Saturday night, and to take us to Lowe's to buy a new kitchen sink, but then had to go back to finish end of the month procedures for work. His parents came in town Saturday night after Raegan had already gone to bed. Philip's parents watched Raegan for us on Sunday while we went with Philip's employees to Frontier City (Frontier City:Oklahoma::Six Flags: Texas) for all you non-OK readers ;) About 20 people were in our group and the park was small enough for us to all see each other often. My favorite ride was probably the wooden rollercoaster even though it was pretty rough. I also enjoyed my first corndog in years, gosh it was delicious! On the way home Philip and I stopped and got snocones, I got Pink Bubblegum one and Philip got half rasberry half marshmellow.Pics from the iphone at Frontier City
After a long day at the amusement park, Philip's parents had dinner waiting for us at home! Lasagna with homemade banana pudding for dessert, yum!!! Then we started on two projects
- removing the old sink and installing the new stainless steel 9 inch deep one
- taking apart the bedroom furniture in the kids room and loading it into Philip's dad's truck to take back to Texas.
Neither task proved easy. As for the sink a part from the garbage disposal wouldn't come off, so we may have to buy a new disposal too. On the bed one of the bolts that holds the footboard to the baseboard wouldn't come unscrewed. We tried everything; ended up splitting the wood and the having to saw off the head of the bolt just to get the two pieces apart. Not so good... the house was a total wreck while all this was going on, but you would've never guessed it by 10 AM this morning when the home appraiser came (since we are refinancing the house). Anyways this weekend really wore me out, so I think I'm going to try and sneak in a nap while the little one is taking hers!
