This weekend our village had garage sales. I got some good deals. I found Dylan a almost brand new 20 inch bike for $30. I paid a little more than I wanted to originally, but the bike was like new and it had all the extras we were looking for. Dylan, who wasn't very interested in having a bike, is loving it! At first, he was having trouble getting started on his own. The bike is a bit too tall for him. I was in the middle of washing the inside of my car. I told him I would help when I was done--I had already been interrupted so much. :) He didn't wait, though. He worked it out himself. Within 5 minutes, he was riding around by himself.

I also found myself several pair of shorts. Two of which I really really like. The other 3 are just okay. But, for $2.75, not too bad. I found some various little toys for the kids, snow boots, cleats. Just random stuff that adds up.

We've stayed pretty busy since summer break has started. Tomorrow we are going to Pirates and eating at Red Robin for Dylan's early birthday.

I starting going to a home ladies Bible study on Monday nights. So far, so good. I think it will be nice to get to know some more Christian ladies in the neighborhood.

Next week is Dylan's birthday. We're planning a Dolphin's Cove trip with some good friends. Then the next day Grandma will be taking them to the zoo or aquarium. I think maybe we'll take a day to chill out after that. Hopefully. :)

I'm having one of those nights. My thoughts seem so negative tonight. First of my complaints, I've been trying to lose the rest of the "baby" weights for 3 years now. I did great for awhile. I lost 60 pounds at least. But I have plateaued now for 3 years. Actually, I gained at least 8 pounds back. :( I have absolutely no willpower and I hate to exercise. But I've noticed lately that when I walk with my super fast sister in law, I get winded. Man can she go! So, I downloaded an app for exercise. We'll see what happens. I'm not optimistic. Yep, that's the mood I'm in tonight.

My poor little girl had the stomach flu last week. So, I didn't give her any laxative. She usually gets a little bit everyday. Well, now she's so constipated she's crying out in her sleep every 30 minutes or so. I have to go change her. She doesn't even wake up when I do. Poor tired little girl. Hopefully the issue will clear up by tomorrow. There was quite a bit of crying today.

I'm really tired, but I figure if I go to bed I'll just get woken up again. I'm not upset with her at all. It's really my fault that she's suffering.

God's mercies are new each morning! Praise God. Tomorrow is a new day.

So far our summer is going not too bad. The kids have been fighting a bit. Just getting used to spending so much time together. But we kept pretty busy this week. Tomorrow's supposed to be a scorcher, so out comes the kiddie pool and water guns. :)

On a wonderful side note, I found out the other day that I have a nephew coming in October. Can't wait to meet him. Dylan was super excited the baby's a boy!
