We had a very busy Saturday. We woke up and left the house before dark so we could see the hot air balloons take flight.
It was a bit chilly first thing in the morning but the excitement of finally seeing the balloons get some air in them kept us all entertained.
Finally two are off and going!!! There were only 5 balloons and we watched all but the last one take off... we had more things to accomplish this day....
I did not take a pic of our next activity since it was garage sale-ing!!! Two times a year one of the big neighborhoods in the area does a neighborhood garage sale and we have been needing a few things... so off we went. I was pretty please with our efforts. We were able to find most of the things on our list. The kids love to go shopping also... especially Caroline who found a house selling clothes her size from Justice (her favorite store)!!
Next we took a break and worked on the house some (those pics are at the end). Then that evening we went to the kids school for their school carnival. They played lots of games, but I forgot to take pics til the end.
They rode on the "train" around the grounds. This is a big moment for Lizzy. In the past she wanted to ride but would get to scared when it was her turn. Once I got her on it with me on it. This time she went right to it and got on all by herself. They were out of room so Eli rode with Caroline. Check out Lizzy's big smile though!!!
Eli insisted on getting a balloon sword from the local clown, so I took advantage of the line and took pics of the girls while Eli waited in line.
Finally... our project this weekend..... we have completed the closet floor upstairs! So far I love it. I think it looks good. It is made from paper but has lots of polyurethane on it so we shall see how it holds up under the kids. We have started on the bedroom upstairs so hopefully we will get the bedroom and loft area done this week and start planning to move Caroline upstairs to her own room. She is super excited to have a space to herself again.
