garage sale, sand art, art show and cold stone

It was a busy weekend here. Our neighborhood had a garage sale and we were able to sell some of our baby items that we no longer need and some other odds and ends. We didn't do too bad. After the sale we went downtown and wandered through the Taste of Omaha. The kids each did a ride or two and had a small ice cream cone. After that we went over to see the sand creations at 'Sand in the city' at the Quest center. Our favorite one was based on the move Monsters vs. Aliens. Today we went to an Art Show at one of the little shopping centers. Since it had been rainy earlier it wasn't crowded and wasn't too hot. I bought a pair of hand created mugs as my favorite coffee mug was broken about a month ago. While we were there we stopped at Cold Stone Creamery for some ice cream. I'd been saving up calories for that treat for a week or two. I ordered a small 'chocolate devotion' and only ate about half as I couldn't eat any more. Lucy happily ate all of her chocolate ice cream w/m & m's. Bridget and Broderick didn't finish theirs either but Brett helped them out. After the art show we went to Toys 'r us to get a new car for Lucy as we sold hers yesterday. This one is much quieter so you can actually have a conversation with the person next to you. When we got home Brett put it together and after Lucy's nap we went and took it for a test walk. It did great. Lucy loves her new pink car and even gave it a hug before coming back in the house.

I think that about covers everything. Tomorrow should be a nice day and I am planning on getting up and going for a walk tomorrow as long as it isn't raining again. I am so close to being down 10 lbs. A little more exercise on my part could just be the extra umph to get it done!
