Busy Weekend

On Saturday I went to a baby shower for Laura, a friend from college while Danny and Owen spent a few hours together. It was a very nice shower with lots of yummy food and fruit! Laura received lots of great gifts to help her prepare for the baby-to-be (due in October.) It was so nice to get out of the house and do something girlie and to see some girls I haven't seen in years.


That night we made a trip to Target, because I felt we needed to, to get all the little things I felt we need for Ben (gas drops, Tylenol, etc) and all the postpartum things for me. I even picked up two really cute soap dispensers for the kids bathroom.

Sunday, we got up, made breakfast and then headed to the other house to mow the grass and clean the carpets. While Danny was mowing the grass, I took Owen over to the playground to play with the Fisher's. When we got back to the house, Danny had started on the carpets. The carpet in that house is almost white and we thought it still looked pretty good. We never wore our shoes in the house and we always spot cleaned with my favorite Little Green Cleaning Machine. With this said, we were amazed at how black the water was after cleaning the floors. GROSS! I can only imagine if we had wore our shoes, didn't spot clean and never vacuumed (although, I guess the Dyson still doesn't get all the dirt.) Needless to say, the carpets are now an even brighter shade of white.

When we left the house, we stopped to get gas and Danny left the car on, but not running. This way, we had air, radio and Owen had Mickey on the DVD. OK, not a good idea.... When Danny went to start the car, it wouldn't start. There we were stranded at the gas pump with no jumper cables. We called Roadside Assistance and waited for over an hour for the towing company to spend all of 45 seconds jumping the car off. We had plans to go to the pool, but our time was cut short and we had a birthday party to be at by 5 pm.

We got home, showered and headed to Meredith Peek's 2nd birthday celebration. Owen had a BALL!!! They had a big bucket of bubbles, a kiddie pool, a HUGE sand box, a bag toss, sidewalk chalk and lots of yummy food. Owen and Meredith were giving each other the sweetest kisses. Hopefully Laura will send me copies of the pictures to share.
