Wore out from the weekend!

Friday night while Stratton stayed at Jarrod’s parents house and played with his cousin Archer, Jarrod and I went to the Sara Bareilles concert at Harding. Actually I went and he tagged along as my chauffer. But I think he was surprised at how awesome she was! I am so glad we went. I almost backed out because it was raining and I was really tired and it didn’t start till 8pm. . . anyway I’m glad we decided to go it was really good! She is amazing live! We got back to Jarrod’s parents house around 11pm.

We stayed the night in Searcy Friday night since our garage sale was Saturday morning. So we go up (really, really) early and were busy with the garage sale till about noon. Things slacked off so we called it a day! We sold SO much stuff! We haven’t had a garage sale since Stratton was 3 months old, so we had WAY too much stuff! We won’t wait that long till the next one, that much stuff equals too much work!! And since it was a 3 family sale, you can imagine all the stuff!!  Jarrod and I had mostly .25 and .50 cent items and we made almost $300! I was really happy we made that much with such little items. But I am mostly glad that we got rid of all that junk! After lunch and packing up the stuff we didn’t sale (we donated a lot of the leftovers to a local church), the guys took all the tables and racks down and Stratton and I took a nap! We got up about 4pm, got ready and then headed to KJ’s in Judsonia for Jennifer’s bday dinner. I got a huge plate of fish, shrimp and stuffed crab for Stratton and I to share. . . bad idea. That boy ate almost all my food! After supper we came back to Jonesboro and got home around 8:00pm. Sunday we didn’t do much. Since we had been out late and up early, Stratton and I both needed to catch up on some zzzzz’s so we both took a long nap Sunday afternoon!

Also, my phone crashed on Saturday. So, Saturday afternoon Jarrod had to go to Verizon and get me a new one, and of course my contacts won’t sync with this phone! Oh the joys of a new phone!

This week will be a short work week (Yay!), since I have an Dr. appt in Little Rock on Friday. It will be the longest week ever because they will do another ultrasound to determine the gender (again) and hopefully the baby will cooperate this time! It’s at 10 am, so hopefully by at least noon we should be sharing the news! I am really anxious!! We are planning on taking Stratton with us again this time, I hope it all works out. I feel like if it’s a girl, he’s going to need to hear it from the Dr. He’s convinced it’s a boy (baby brother) and even when we ask, “what if it’s a girl”- his answer is “but it’s a boy?” and looks confused! We’ll see. . . .

In other news, Stratton is doing awesome with potty training. The only time he is wearing a pull-up is to sleep in! He went all week last week without a single accident!! He got to go to TSC with Jarrod and pick out a new tractor! He got a John Deere spray rig, of course! He is excited about going to the beach and talks about it a lot! He is also starting to ask more questions about the baby. The other day he asked me “Mommy, we going to have a baby?”.  Then when I asked him if he would sing to the baby when it cries he said “Nooooo, we put him in his bed and shut the door when he cry”. . . haha!
