Wonderful Weekend!





We had no plans and the day ended up pretty relaxing and fun!!! We got in the car Saturday morning and headed to the farmers market---but they did not start yet?? So daddy asked Gretchen what she wanted to do? Don't ask a two year old who knows exactly what she wants---ah!
Well without hestitation she wanted to go to "Gretchie Park" (see my post below) ----Daddy was hungary so we compromised went home and got another car---Daddy was going to meet us at the park after he ate but after 45 minutes of playing in the hot sun !! THEN fell in the mud!--Gretchie was asking to go home (what kid asks to go home from the park??? (MINE!! )) She played wit a 7 yr old--but when we drove up to the park--she says OH NO I have to share!
Now thats hilarious--even though she is GREAT at sharing lately! She fell asleep on the way home at noon (which 12 is early lately tooo) but had a early morning with a bad tummy! She took a two hour nap---and daddy had gone to this huge yard sale at The AGAPE HOUSE--so then when he came home---mommy went! Together we got 43 items (mostly clothes ,doll and two pair of shoes for G ---for $8!!!) Everything was FREE after 2:30 pm but I just gave them a donation for my pile of stuff!

We then went on two GPS geo caches--it started to rain but we walked down this walking path along the river!!! Gretchen got a pink eraser in the first treasure and in the second she traded the eraser for a blue and yellow jacks---boy were these a BIG HIT!! In fact when we stopped by the convenient store to get a drink--she says from her car seat I LOST THE BLUE JACK!!! Well we drove back to where she was playing in the grass and could not find it----all the way home (6 min) she repeated---I LOST JACK --I Lost Jack---(ugh!) When we got to Pizza Hut---Daddy found it in the carseat--YEAH!!! He dropped us off and wentto get a movie and we waited for our Pasta order and breadsticks to take home!!! She went to bed AWESOME!!! (me walking out and her not saying a word)!! Knock on wood we are on a good roll---------------------
