Saturday

We had a fun, full day today, as the boys woke up before the crack of dawn.... at 6:30am! (Yay)

BUT I decided to take advantage of the earliness and get out and hit some yard sales. Dave was very nice to bring me a newspaper on his way home from work, and off we went. Then after burning more money in gas driving around than I saved at the yard sales, we hit a few more stores to do some shopping for Dave's birthday next week.

Then we had lunch at McD's so the boys could play for an hour (and Mommy got to sit and rest.. whew), followed by a trip to the park for another hour. By 1:30 they were wiped out (Yay!) and we headed home for naps.

Later on we went to Elianna's 1st birthday party and spent another 2 hours playing at the park with friends. The boys were really good all day, despite being dragged around shopping for much of the morning, and I had a great time.

Here're some pictures
