Last Saturday was the busiest day ever!!! I don't even remember the last time I over-scheduled myself like this. Of course, we always have plenty of surprises at the Beeston home, so we didn't accomplish everything we were going to, but we had an awesome day anyway.
8:30 The Farmer's Market. The first Saturday in May is the day the Farmer's Market comes back, after a long and cold winter. It is a very exciting time for the people who live in Des Moines, so of course we had to go. I think everybody who lives in Des Moines was there because my friend and I could barely walk side by side.
9:30 Neighborhood yard sale. I had planned to check out a few things around this time, but it took us a little longer than I had expected to get through the Farmer's Market, so we didn't end up going. I know of some people in that neighborhood who have twins. That's where we bought our umbrella stroller and jogger last year (both for $15). Oh well.
10:00 Baby Shower. A friend of mine is having a little girl at the end of the month, so there was a baby shower planned for her today. Logan and Taylor usually take a nap around 10, so I figured I probably wouldn't be able to go, but it was on my To Do List, anyway, just in case. Logan and Taylor actually fell asleep at the Farmer's Market, so when we got back home, I slowly picked them up and put them into their cribs, where they slept for another 30 min. I don't know how they were able to fall asleep, with all the people and noise around them... I guess they were exhausted...
Break... not really. Just when I thought we could have a little time to relax, Taylor slobbered on my phone and it started vibrating without interruption. I tried to touch a few keys. Nothing. I tried to turn the phone off. Nothing. Crap. Billy's out of town and my brother's on his way here. So I took the battery out and the phone stopped vibrating. Then I put the battery back in and the phone started vibrating again. Crap. Looks like we have to go on another trip to buy a phone. Fortunately, I had had my phone for 4 years, so I was eligible for an upgrade. Looks like the boys won't be playing with my phone anytime soon. In the meantime, my old phone has become their "security" phone. They LOVE it and take it EVERYWHERE!
4:30 Uno de Mayo. We decided to celebrate with a nice barbecue. We went to a park with a bunch of friends, set the kids on blankets, and chatted while eating some food. It was a beautiful day to celebrate.
6:00 Double birthday party. 2 friends of mine had a birthday this past week. I am so glad they decided to celebrate together! I don't know how I would have fit 2 birthday parties in my already over-scheduled day!
9:45 Frederic and Marie got to Des Moines after a 15-1/2 hour drive from Columbia, MD. I am so glad they were able to come spend some time with me and the boys. I know it was a big sacrifice of time and money.
