Our Week in Review!

We had a fun, busy week. Monday started us off with Sawyer & Maggie coming over to play. The kids really enjoyed playing with our great finds from the garage sales on Friday! This is the cool doll house we had to get (Ashley said Daniel needed one that he could play with, b/c her Barbie house has too many little pieces)! Maggie enjoyed the double doll stroller we got for 50 cents! Daniel is running into the playroom to get more toys! Maggie found the cool books I blogged about on Father's Day...this is the In My Daughter's Eyes one, by Martina McBride. We went to the library on Tuesday, with Lauren & Ryan. Ashley & Lauren enjoyed making necklaces (she looked for those toys when we went back on Wednesday, but the librarian told me they had found bugs in them, so they were being cleaned--nice)! Grace & Maddie came over Tuesday afternoon, so we had 6 for awhile (when Kate came to get her 2, we had 3 in melt-down mode--it was fun!)...they're playing "Ring Around the Rosie"...they love to dress up and play together--SO FUN! On Wednesday we saw a ventrilaquist at the library and then went down to The Orchard (the new outside mall). Mommy got to shop at Bath & Body Works and get free stuff during their HUGE sale & Ashley & Daniel got to play at the park & get balloons (Daniel kept letting his go and it finally got away)...so a good time was had by all! Thursday was our 4 year anniversary of our wedding in Gainesville. We had 5 kids over here & it was a busy day! As a treat, we got our package from Aunt Won (we opened it after bathtime). She sent us a true-to-life model car of a BMW convertible (she works for BMW now, in Korea) Daniel loved playing with it, with Daddy (it's a special car, so he can only play with it, with one of us)! We also had some sad news. Red, our beta fish that we've had for almost 2 years, committed suicide (he jumped out of the bucket I'd placed him in, to clean out his bowl)! I found him on the counter and thought he might pull through...he put up a good fight, but gave in and went down hard. David said a few words and then he had a burial at see (Ashley took it hard--NOT--she was like, "Can I see the picture?!") We will miss you Red...but life goes on...now we'll be able to get a blue fish in the fall, in time for Gator Football Season! GO GATORS! On Friday, David worked from home and we went back to The Orchard, to have lunch at the Mexican restaurant. It was nice to eat outside and then play at the park area & get more balloons...no pictures, just good family memories!
