Saturday morning our neighborhood was hosting a community wide yard sale and we had a few big things left over from last time and participated in it. It began at 8 am so we dragged out our stuff to the drive way. It was slow going but we sold a few big things and made a little over $100 so all in all it was a good deal. I even scored a few deals myself.. we walked around our side of the neighborhood and one house was selling a bunch of Dr. Seuss books for $1 each as well as a Leap Frog Tag system with the case and two books. I had picked up the Leap Frog Tag system in Pink at the PX a few weeks ago for P for Christmas.. it was marked down to only $27 (originally $39). Now Henry will be getting one for Christmas as well so they wont have to share or fight over it. And the lady sold all the Dr. Seuss books and the Leap Frog bundle for $9. You can't beat that! :) The two books that came with the system were the Cat in the Hat which will be perfect for P and the other book was The Little Engine that Could which is great for Henry. I just need to pick up the pink case for P and we will be set! I had thought about getting the Tag Jr. system for Henry but most reviewers agree that regular Tag system works just as well for younger ones and enables them to grow into. And the price couldn't be passed up! So needless to say it was a good morning! We had a light lunch then Henry laid down for a nap and Brandon watched the South Carolina football game. We got ready for the day and headed out around 3 to meet our good friends (the St Johns) for an early supper in Nashville at Cracker Barrel before heading over to the Zoo for the Ghouls at Grassmere event. Dinner was good and the zoo was so much fun! The kids really enjoyed it and even little Henry got into the trick or treating. We hit up all 20 of the trick or treat stations and even were able to see some of the animals before dark. The kids rode the carousel and we toured the old house on the grounds at the zoo. We enjoyed the hayride as well! We left around 830ish and both kids fell asleep about half way back to the house. Henry was so tired.. I carried him upstairs when we got home.. changed his diaper and put on his pajama pants and put him in his crib and he was still out! We had a good time and hope to go back again next year!! Its a lot of fun especially for our kids who are still young.. definitely worth it!! :)
Sunday we took it easy.. Brandon had a few projects around the house he wanted to work on and we had a few errands to run in town. We grabbed some lunch at Zaxby's. Henry fell asleep in the car and finished his nap at home. I had some laundry to catch up on. P played the Wii for a little bit. We just took it easy for the most part. Henry was up before 3. Then about 330ish, we got ready and headed out to the Greenway Trail for a walk. We even took Murray this time. We had went last Monday when Brandon was off. Its about 5.2 mile loop with 2 major hills. Its a lot of walking, but its nice to get out of the house and get some fresh air. And the kids do mostly well in the stroller and we let them out for a few segments to walk/run on the trail as well. Murray kept up with us but he was tired when we got home :) Brandon grilled hot dogs for dinner and we had a good dinner before beginning our typical nightly routine. The kiddos must have been worn out themselves.. Henry was in bed by 8 and P shortly there after... and neither stirred till 8 this morning! I'm pretty sure Brandon and I were exhausted ourselves, ha!
