Blog Parties, Field Trips and Yard Sailing

I think I am a weekend blogger here now.
Somewhat disappointing that things are not getting fixed (at Shoutpost, original site of this post).

Last week I did the MommyFest blog party and hopping. It was ok. Sad that so many people who participated did not have intro posts or did not have their blog opened to accept comments. More than half I visited that was the case. Then only a few came to my blog. The Ultimate Blog Party seemed to be better but we all learn a few things in the process.

Yesterday my son had a "MacGyver" field trip at the YMCA camp. He LOVES MacGyver, even wanted the same Mullet haircut but I said no. They did everything -- kyacking, a rope course where he said everyone got confused, archery (he said he did pretty bad), and climbed a moving wall. He came home exhusted but said he had a great time.

Today we went to a few fund raising yardsales and of course, I found some books and paper (cards, notebooks). I also got an outside lounge chair for $2.00, something I wanted so I could get my 15 of sunshine per day. At one sale I saw two ice cube trays and told my husband that he could use those for his trains to put the small pieces in so he can see them. Good idea he thought and got them. You could use an egg carton for the same reason but the trays are sturdier. Some man gave us a free enormous shark kite because he did not have time to fix it. Then that was it.

Today I am suppose to be cleaning and organizing. My MIL is having a yardsale in a few weeks so I am getting some stuff together.

We are having a repeat Mother's Day tomorrow because my husband forgot to give me my presents and I was having a good time anyways, I did not even think about asking. LOL
Guess I am getting old and forgetful.
The children do not know this yet, so it is a real surprise for them with more ice cream.
