With only one of our father's within driving distance, this weekend was spent in Sandy with Sam's dad. We arrived on Friday night and quickly got to work on dinner: homemade pepperoni pizza! We chatted & ate until a little after 10 and were off to bed.
Saturday came early, 7:30am for me, thanks to the pups (who were so happy to be at Sam's parent's house playing with their dog) . I had heard through several blogs that Old Navy was having a promotion this weekend for $2 tank tops, so my plan was to stock up! My mother-in-law and I arrived just before the store opened (9am) and were out by 9:30am, with 5 tank tops each (the max) . We had hoped my sister-in-law could come, but she had a junior high event to take care of at church. Upon leaving, we decided to take the long way home to see if we could spot any garage sales... which we did! My mother-in-law is the first person I've met who usually spend Fridays & sometimes Saturday mornings scouring the area for good finds. And boy does she come back with quality items at a fraction of the price! A few of the finds she found this week included a bread maker & a crock pot. I'll go garage sale-ing with her anytime! When we came back, the boys (Sam & his dad) had already got to work on this weekend's project: spreading bark dust. They had ordered almost 15 yards and by 4pm, the pile was gone (mostly due to the guys, but Donna, Laura, & myself helped a little) . Saturday night didn't bring much excitement, but we grabbed Taco Bell and came home to play The Farming Game, a new favorite of mine. We finally got to bed a little after 11pm and were asleep almost instantly.
On Sunday, we woke up and went to the early service at Sam's parent's church. They had a very touching slideshow of pictures of dads that go to that church with their kids. I teared up. After Sunday School, we all went back to Sam's parent's house and Sam, his dad, and brother-in-law took a Father's Day present to Sam's grandparents house. They bought him a fabric tent gazebo and were going to set it up, but once they got out there they realized that Sam's grandparents wanted to stain their deck so they weren't able to set it up. The long trip out there was a little worthless, but at least they got it out there. One of these next weekends they'll get it set up. Once the guys came back, we headed over to Sam's sister's house and had a delicious lunch. Then we headed back to Sam's parents house for dessert. We left Sandy around 5:30pm and once we were home, we unpacked and cleaned up and headed to bed. These busy weekends are fun, but very tiring.
Next weekend, we've got bark chips coming to our house, so Sam will get to do it all over again (on a much smaller scale) . And it's also our First Anniversary next Saturday! Hopefully we'll just get a relaxing weekend at home together =) .
