This weekend

This weekend had some high points and low points. First of all, the low points:
1) We had to put our cat Gabby to sleep on Friday. To make a long story short, she had a large cancerous tumor growing on her back and it was quickly getting worse.
2) We attempted to take the boat out today for the first time (with the girls, mind you), but after pushing off from the launch at Rum River, the battery died. We tried charging it but it just wouldn't stay charged. Better luck next time! Also, thank goodness there was someone close to tow us in or Jeremy would've been swimming.

The high points:
1) This was Thursday but I'll still count it as the weekend. Jer came home in the afternoon and said, why don't you go play a round of golf at Majestic Oaks? I realized I had nothing major going on and quickly took him up on it. (Moms have to take advantage of offers like this and leave the house as quickly as possible before someone wakes up or gets a poopy diaper, or else the offer might be rescinded.)
2) Beautiful weather this weekend -- trip to the park on Saturday with a friend, out on the boat this afternoon (nevermind that the boat wasn't moving, we were still outside!)
3) A trip to "Big Dipper" with friends Saturday night. How can ice cream not be a highlight?
4) Rather than spend his afternoon watching the golf tournament (which didn't sound half bad to me either), Jeremy decided we should clean the garage. Since Emily chose not to nap today, she "helped". A job like that always makes you feel good. And I am definitely planning a garage sale this summer if anyone is interested in contributing anything!
5) We finished off the day with pizza and games with our small group at church. Free babysitting is always a highlight! Except when I went to pick Emily up at the nursery and saw her shorts in a bag -- apparently she "hid under the elephant" and pooped her pants. She's been doing really well with potty training but still isn't perfect!

2 low points, 5 high points, all in all it was a good weekend :)
