Last weekend was quite busy. Abby had dance; Andrew had t-ball; mom worked the Trash and Treasure sale at the grammar school. We had taken much of our trash....er, treasure to be sold, and it was good to see some of it go out the door for a good cause! It was bittersweet to take some of the items (e.g., the children's toy kitchen) because it really reminded me that that phase in their life is over. No more toy kitchens... now it's webkinz and ipods! The grammar school wound up making about $4,500 from the sale; they are planning to do it again next year.
On the plus side, I did restrain myself at the Trash and Treasure sale. I only purchased a few board games for the family and a pair of new-looking hockey skates (size 2, still in the box) for Andrew. Since one of our favorite things to do on REALLY hot days is to go to the ice rink, and since Andrew's feet are so wide they don't fit into figure skates, I felt these were a deal at $4.
On Sunday, we had family fun afternoon and watched Over the Hedge. It wasn't Charlotte's Web, but we all enjoyed it. At the end of the movie we asked which character was identified with by each family member. The results?....
Mom... Verne, the cautious turtle
Dad... Ozzie, the fun loving possum who likes to play dead
Andrew...Hammy, the enthusiastically energetic, trusting, and hyperactive squirrel
Abby... Stella, the skunk who finds love with the Persian cat
