Fun Day!

Saturday, May 19, 2012

Today  I didn't quite make it out the door by 7:30 like I had planned, but Tierney, Liam, and I were able to leave by about 8:45. I took $120 out of the bank (our grocery money for the week), and we headed to yard sales. We were looking specifically for drinking glasses, interesting books, a changing table, a baby swing, and decent clothes. We found none of these. We did find an umbrella stroller for a dollar. It's pretty rough, but it's perfect for yard sales, and it beats getting the regular stroller in and out all the time.
We also found a push toy for Liam. He calls it his lawn mower (he is all about lawn mowers and tractors right now), and has been having a great time with it. I took some pics, but the new computer isn't reading Karl's camera for some reason.



Also Tierney bought three pair of shoes for about $7. So we spent $10, which wasn't bad.

We planned to go to the farmer's market, but Jake asked Tierney to go to the hospital with him. His little sister is in town (Jake lives with his dad), and after she had been acting strangely yesterday they took her to the ER, where it was discovered she has a brain tumor. She is now being taken to Little Rock to see a specialist.

Taryn decided to go with me, and we picked up lots of greens, broccoli, tomatoes, and some baked goods. Finally, Karl and I went to the grocery store, and the house is stocked full of mostly healthy foods, with some sugar cereal because it keeps the big kids happy-and their pregnant mom, too.

So, while we didn't find any cute clothes, even the boy stuff I stumbled on was the wrong size, we had a nice time. I even got a little nap in, which is nice since I woke at 3:30.

Hopefully, we will figure the camera problem out soon! But for now, thanks Tierney's phone!
