Well, spring has officially come to the Oswald house :) What a great weekend! Friday was supposed be sunny and warm but ended up being cloudy and cold. Needless to say I was more than a little disappointed. I had been looking forward to a warm day all week! But....I got over it and Saturday turned out great!
The morning started out cloudy and a little chilly but I headed out for the city wide garage sales at 8am. By 10 I had hit almost every singe one and got a TON of great deals for Hayden. Including a really nice kitchen set complete with food and utensils :) I brought it in the house and the first thing Hayden says is Wow, cool! Whenever she gets excited about something she covers her mouth with her hands and giggles. It's super cute :) She ended up playing with it most of the afternoon.
After I got back from the garage sales all three of us headed out to an auction in Lake City. Auctions are like Christmas for Kyle. He absolutely loves them! Hayden and I ended up heading home about 12:30 and Kyle stuck around until after 3. While he was gone Hayden took a nap and I even got a little nap in there. Kyle came home with a new dresser for Hayden along with a few other things. I got a new shelf with hooks on it at the garage sales and my next project is to paint the dresser and shelf. I am hoping to get it done as soon as possible so I can add it to her room :) I just love finding good deals!
After Kyle got home and Hayden woke up from her nap we all headed out for a short walk to the school track and then I jogged around the track once. For those of you who know me at all you know that I DO NOT RUN. In total truth, I have never run a round a track even one time for fun or other wise in my entire life. I have barely even stepped foot on a track. But...something crazy has gotten into me and I actually have a desire to run.....CRAZY! I was pretty proud of myself though...all the way around the track without stopping :) Hopefully this will become a habit and I can keep it up. Maybe I'll even get around twice one of these days, lol. I am sure you runners out there are laughing hysterically at me right now but this is kind of a big deal for me :)
After our jog and walk back home, we grilled steaks, fish and brats for supper (no we are not pigs, I had a steak and Kyle tried a fish we had in the freezer and then ate a brat). We also had home frozen corn and pasta salad, a true sign of summer time :) It was a perfect meal at the end of a perfect day.
Sunday was another great day. We had a wonderful morning at church and heard a great sermon from pastor. It was a great reminder that people aren't prefect and that we need to remember to look at ourselves first when we get offended by others. We had a great lunch with friends from church and headed home to another busy afternoon. Kyle mowed the lawn and I cleaned up the house and made banana chocolate chip muffins.
We hosted FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) at our house tonight. Since it is May 1, I thought it would be fun for the kids to make May Baskets :) Kyle thought I was crazy and that a bunch of high school kids wouldn't like doing it, but it went over pretty well. We had a bunch of candy and popcorn and they all put together their own May basket. They wrote a note to let people know that it was from FCA and not some poison crazy person :) and delivered them to people around town. I think they really had fun :) After that, everyone headed out to the basketball courts and played for an hour. It's a great time for the kids to get together and have some encouragement and know that they have a safe place to go. Kyle really enjoys leading the group and they are such an encouragement for him as well.
I am so thankful to the Lord for His blessings in my life. He has blessed me with a husband who fears the Lord and wants to serve Him as well as a beautiful daughter. Who could ask for anything more?
