This weekend was AWESOME, beautiful weather & alot of things accomplished. My parents came and picked up Chloe Friday....They wanted to surprise her @ the daycare and pick her up ( she wasn't as surprised as they thought she would be, but was tickled pink when they said that they were stopping by our house to pick up her suitcase.) We all had a nice dinner together before they headed north with Chloe.
Saturday, kid-free, we decided to venture out to some garage sales....(My FAV.) We found tons & tons to go to, we loaded up on some good deals & stuff...even some people we're giving things away that were practically brand new.... We shopped all afternoon.
Our last stop the Lord led us to this particular house ( I just felt that it was blessing in disguise :) We bought 1 thing from them and as we were loading it up, the man asked if we knew anyone that could clean up a huge pile of brush he had from a tree that had fallen in the storms the week prior. I just felt a little lightbulb go off....hello, here's a great opportunity for some extra $$$. ( and to ones that may not know my husband is a Logger & owns lots of chain saws, chipper etc. so it was right up his alley.) Oh, yes, forgot to mention we had already lined up another side job for Saturday afternoon as well, some trees that had been cut down we need to cut up and take away....So a Kid-free afternoon with 2 potential side jobs..... :)
We headed home and changed in to some work clothes, I grabbed some gloves and we headed out.
The 1st family we worked for were extremely nice. We got to know them very well, they were a great Christian family....They even helped us some as we completed the job for them....and only took about 1-2 hours with alot of that being just socializing with them.
Loaded back up and headed to next side job....It was already starting to get dark, but we got it finished as well.
We worked very well together and even got to go out for a bite for dinner as well even though it was after 10:00 pm, ( we were kid-free and living it up, not having a curfew of when to get Chloe-bug in the bed).....
So I thank the Lord for providing this weekend......Got several trips planned this summer, along with some home improvements were wanting to accomplish....So we are Forever Thankful for any Doors Opened in our Favor this weekend.............................
SIDE NOTE: Chloe got to compete in the Pinewood Derby Saturday. I was sort of sad I didn't get to see her do it, it was a last minute thing ( they needed her to fill in for some kids that didn't get to attend). So LOVED it, and to top it off, she won 2nd place in her age category.......She was "talking cotton" about her trophy she won and blue ribbon.......
