Saturday morning, Grammaw and I went to a few garage sales and then to look at an auction. She spent the morning with us and had lunch at our house before we took her home so we could go to Overland Park.
We stopped at Kohl's and Dollar Tree on our way to the Todds. We had a quick dinner together and then the kids added candles to the birthday cake I had baked and decorated at home for Amanda's 32nd birthday - a little early. We lit the candles and sang happy birthday to the birthday girl before enjoying a piece of cake.
Amanda and Chad went to a Deck Crawl neighborhood party, so we had the little ones to ourself! We played and gave them baths - and a snack of course - before putting Garrison to bed. He insisted on a second "nack" (snack) after baths - the boy likes to eat. Peyton made her Mommy a beautiful birthday card after Garrison was in bed before she was down for the night.
Peyton woke up during the night and came to our bed. Per Mommy's instructions, I walked her back to her bed and didn't let her get in bed with us and laid down with her for a few minutes to calm her down. She quickly started throwing up in her bed - on her and on me - bless her heart. She said she didn't know where her bucket was. We started to the bathroom and made it to the sink for the next round. She was upset, but we got her cleaned up and new pj's and me a shirt to sleep in and took the sheets and quilt off the bed before joining Grandpa in bed for the rest of the night. She was a bit warm and still was running a low temp when we woke up at 7:30 a.m. - yes 7:30! Late for Grammy for sure.
We had planned to go out for breakfast to celebrate Amanda's birthday, but Peyton wasn't feeling up to it so we ordered carry out and Amanda and I went to pick it up. The Egg and I - good food. Chad played in a golf tournament, and we played around the house until after lunch when the girls ran some errands - and had Orange Leaf Frozen Yogurt - and the guys took a nap.
Amanda fixed buckets of water for the kids to "paint" the driveway with paintbrushes - great fun - easy clean-up - cheap! They loved it. They also watered plans, and we played on the playset outside. Earlier in the afternoon we made footprints in flour/salt dough and baked it. Peyton was very proud. She loves to be in the kitchen.
We brought Amanda and Chad's old stove home for Grammaw to replace hers with - Amanda and Chad had gotten a new stove and dishwasher earlier in the week. New stove installed - old stove removed - all is good at 810.
A very fun weekend - family memories. We are blessed. Happy Birthday to Amanda - OUR baby!
