Weekend Update

I want to make sure I get some one on one time with Kaylea the rest of the weekends in the summer.  She loves seeing her daddy, but she gets a lot of time with him and missing seeing me.  Friday, when I got home from work, I told Jordy to go see a movie he has been wanting to see.  I knew the 4-H fair was going on in Fairfax County and I assumed Kaylea would have a great time.  We headed to the 4H Fair at Frying Pan Park.  We stayed for over 2 hours.  I bought 72 ride tickets and we used every last one.  We looked at a few animals, rode rides, and played a couple of games before heading home.  We stopped for a late night dinner on the way home.  In the car on the way home Kaylea said, “It feels like we were at the fair all day.”   

Saturday, we had a yard sale.  We really want to be able to park in the garage when winter gets here.  This is was the first step.  Kaylea set up her first lemonade stand and I must say, she is quite the sales person.  She asked every potential customer if they would like to buy a glass of lemonade.  She sold a few stuffed animals, but started giving the stuffed animals away to any kid who made a lemonade purchase.  She ended up making $26.  She was very excited.  Mommy was impressed that she started at 8AM and lasted until 12PM.  We did good at the yard sale. 

 

 

Saturday evening Jordy and I went out of dinner and went to a Meet-Up to meet some other adults.  We played Cards Against Humanity and Killer Bunnies.  Cards Against Humanity was more fun than the other.  It was nice to get out and meet some other adults in the area.  I think we hit it off with a few other couples so I’m hoping to get together again.   

Sunday was interesting.  We really didn’t have any major plans.  Jordy and I ended up attempting to install our new microwave.  We got it installed, but I’m not sure we did it correctly.  In the afternoon, Kaylea and I went to another meetup and played at the waterpark.  Most of the kids at the Meetup were younger than her, so we really didn’t do any bonding, but we did have a good time swimming together.  I always remind her this is true love because I don’t love swimming J  We ended the night with a family mystery shop.  It’s always great when you can get dinner for 4 for less than $8 (especially in Northern Virginia).
