Saturday morning it was tough getting out of bed but nonetheless I
rolled out about 8am. Alex was scheduled
to have baseball practice at 9 so I got him up (reluctantly) and out the door
by 8:30. It was drizzling a little as we
drove over to his practice. As I was
pulling into the park at 8:54 am, I got a text from his coach that practice was
canceled. GRRR! I really could have used some extra sleep and
I know Alex felt the same way. But since
we were out, we grabbed a little breakfast a ran a few errands.
Once we were back home, the kids divulged in full time play. Grace and I took this opportunity to go dress
shopping again for my brother’s wedding.
I had bought a dress for her the previous weekend, but she didn’t like
it. She had an idea in her head so back
out we went. At the first store where I could
have exchanged the dress I had originally bought for her she decided she didn’t
like anything in the store. So, on to
the next. At the next store, Rue 21, to
be exact, she tried on about ten dresses.
Finally the last one was the winner. It was everything she hoped
for. So YAY!
Then we went to Kohl’s and bought a dress for Eva. I went back and forth on the size but decided
on the size 10. Of course that was the
wrong size and it was too big. So now I
still have to go back to exchange that one.
From there, we went to the thrift store to see if we could find
anything cheap for the rehearsal dinner.
We didn’t. But we did get some
fabulous shoes and I picked up about $60 worth of summer clothes for
myself. Score again!
By the time we got home, the rain had stopped and the sun was
out. And it was humid as all get
out! Lilly did in fact leave by 3. But of course it wasn’t her mother that
picked her up. She pawned her off on her
grandpa. Oh well, at least we could move on with our night.
And that night consisted of 4:30 mass with my parents, followed by dinner at Chimi’s and the City Block Party with the whole family. Obviously the block party was the highlight of the night. It’s nights like this that make me love my town. It’s got a small town feel but within 20 minutes of anywhere.
I took a ton of pictures that night. Here are the ones that made the cut.
Hello Summer!
