WEEKEND WRAP-UP AND MONDAY ALL IN ONE

We had a pretty eventful weekend, and it was all so much fun. We woke up EARLY Saturday morning and headed out to my niece Aly's softball game. We thought it would be good to go out early so we could be the heat. It was so hot. It felt like we were in a sauna. We finally talked my family into going to the lake, but it was going to take a long time to get there. (We are pretty slow!) My niece Aly decided to come back with us and hang out. Aly and I headed to McDonald's while Jack and Maggie stayed home and napped.

We all finally made it out to the lake around 3 and realized it was very hot. It took getting into the water to cool off. While we were in the water my niece and sister were hanging out on a noodle. Amy looked down and a fish was swimming across her lap. She jumped, and it scared the fish, so it finned Aly's leg. She screamed and cried and they both headed back to the boat. It pretty much attacked her. It was the end to our swimming journey. We have been going to this lake for years and have never had anything like that happen. It was crazy.

After we made it back in, we all hung out and had dinner. While we were waiting on dinner to cook, my other niece Maddy jumped from the deck to the boat. Well, she didn't jump far enough and luckily Jack grabbed her hands in time, or she would have gone completely under. She didn't have on her life jacket, so it could have been really bad. So, my sister suffered her second heart attack for the day.

We had a great time at the lake and can't wait for our next visit there. Maggie just does so good, so that makes for a happy mommy!





We started off Sunday early again. Although, we do get Maggie to take 2 hour naps these days. It is wonderful. Jack did yard work, and Maggie and I hung out inside. We then went to lunch, bought some plants, and went to the grocery store. I guess it wore Maggie out, because by the time we made it out to eat this is what happened!



Yes, she fell asleep in the high chair. It was priceless. I can't believe it happened. We knew we had a great kid, but for her to sleep anywhere is just wonderful. It makes our lives easier. So, Sunday started off with nothing to do, but turned into a day of lots.

Today has been a simple day. Maggie and I did laundry. (When can kids start doing chores?) Then, we ventured out to our friend Jenny and Will's house for a fun play date. He wasn't feeling well, so we hope he gets better soon. Tonight we just hung out at home and had a pretty easy evening. We look forward to a great week.
