Labor day weekend was BUSY!! We had a yard sale on Saturday so Friday evening was spent getting ready for the yard sale since we still had lots of last minute things to do. We hauled all the smaller items over to Cole's mom's for the sale. We have been trying to clear out the extra bedroom for the baby and it is a task! At least we were able to sell quite a few things instead of just having to donate it all.
Saturday morning we woke up early (well early by our standards - 8:30 am ; I know laugh because this will change when baby arrives) and went to Pastry Perfection to get some goodies for our time at the garage sale. We headed over to the yard sale and I sat and helped Kay for about three hours outside while Cole and Jim caught up inside. Bailey was the center of attention at the yard sale and loved all of the people who gave her treats whenever they saw her. We didn't have tons to put in the yard sale, but I was pleased because most of the bigger stuff sold with the exception of our entertainment center. We will put that on Craigslist.
After the yard sale we headed to the house to get ready for the first BSU game of the season. Whoop whoop! We are HUGE college football fans so as we cleaned the house we watched the football games on tv and prepared the house for the party we were hosting. We had lots of friends come out to watch the game and TONS of good food. The spread included hamburgers, hotdogs, cucumber tomato salad, summer squash bake, raspberry pie, spinach dip, artichoke dip, and of course tons of booze. Cole and Jake even made jello shots the night before that go into lemons, oranges and grapefruit so that we had festive blue and orange jello shots. Don't worry, Cole made me non-alcoholic jello shots. :o) BSU won the game against Georgia, no problems because we rule!
Sunday we woke up somewhat early and got ready to go camping for the night. Matt, Tina, Jessica and Jake and I went down past Anderson Ranch and Featherville to an area suggested by our friend. It was a LONG ride and we were getting a little worried we wouldn't be able to find a spot due to Labor Day weekend but we managed to find a spot. It had a great fishing area, although the fish were spawning and would not bite for us, either that or we just had the wrong kind of bate. It was fun nonetheless. I was just disappointed I didn't get any fresh fish.
Once again I was the entertainment for the trip as I decided to push wax down on a citronella candle and proceeded to have hot wax go all over my face, hair, and chest. Everyone stared in shock at me as I was in shock at the hot wax that was over me. Cole quickly jumped up and got me a towel. Fortunately it didn't burn too bad but I was a sight for sore eyes. I refused to let pictures be taken of the ordeal.
We played cards, ate smores, everyone else drank. Overall it was an awesome time until the night hit and the wind kicked up. It was very windy at night and everyone had a hard time sleeping. I'm glad we went though since it is getting colder here. It was nice to spend a day with good friends.
Overall a good labor day weekend but very busy!! I was exhausted on Monday. Cole and I came home from camping and took three hour naps. Now it is Friday and I am still looking forward to recovering from last weekend! More shenanigans to come though for this weekend. We have to get them all in before that baby comes.
Tonight is a concert that Cole wants to see, Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy along with dinner with friends.
