Such a Nice Day

Today was such a great day,  the weather was beautiful!  We got some things done that needed to be done and did some fun stuff too!  This morning I took Paige shopping.  The child needed some clothes for summer.  I have been getting out summer clothes and going through everybody’s things to see what still fit and where we were lacking.  Donovan seems to be able to wear summer clothes forever so he’s not doing too bad.  The biggest issue with him is how picky he’s getting and his changing  “style”.  Tessa has so many clothes I’m not sure I’ll be able to fit them all in her drawer.    She’s pretty much set, although I always find things here and there that I have to have for her.  Paige had the most pathetic little stack of summer clothes I have ever seen.  She’s starting to have definite ideas about her clothes and is a little picky about how her clothes feel, plus I didn’t know what size she needed for sure so I needed her to go along.  She got quite a few adorable outfits, but mostly clearance and the “Jumping Beans” stuff from Kohl's so I didn’t have to spend a ton of money.  She was most excited about getting a new bathing suit and a pair of flip flops with frogs on them.  It was a nice “mother/daughter outing”.

When I got home I cleaned out the garage that had hardly been looked at since Tessa’s party.  I got tables set up for the garage sale and got all my tubs of garage sale stuff in the garage.  I’ll start pricing tomorrow. 

Tessa practiced hitting and Donovan played catch with Jon for a while.  Moving up a level is proving a little tricky for Donovan so Jon worked on a few specific things with him.  Donovan has practice again tomorrow and Paige has her first practice Tuesday.  We got a call from Tessa’s coach but there aren’t any practices scheduled yet.  Ball season is under way!

We got some yard work done, Jon and I played some basketball with Donovan (that’s quite a sight, I’m sure!) and the girls and I took the fat dog for a walk around “the loop”.  The fat dog has been exhausted ever since so that did it’s job.  She’s much less annoying when we’ve tired her out.

Now, the kids are all in bed and we just finished watching the Red Wings kick ass in the play-offs so it’s a good ending to a nice day!
