Let's get our sale on!!! Finnegan woke up at 6:15 a.m. this morning and it was around the time that I had to get up anyway for the garage sale. After I made the bottle and changed him, Bill took over. I got ready and left by 7:30 a.m. to head to Jessica's. I stopped at the gas station because I forgot my water... Then I got coffee too because I forgot that as well... Geeze, I was pretty forgetful! I got there shortly after 8:00 a.m. and started pricing my clothes that I was selling. Jessica had gone outside to open her garage and start setting up and people were already walking up to buy stuff! The sale didn't start until 9:00 a.m. (I know, its sounds sooo late, but for some reason the county that they are in has a law/rule against it.. Or something like that, she was trying to explain it to me, but we were trying to get everything in order for the sale!) I met her sister-in-law. She was sooo nice. She had two older boys and then a 4 month old daughter (she was born late March). Seriously... The cutest little girl!!! She had more hair than Billy! It was so pretty and she had the most beautiful blue eyes. I definetly got baby fever for a little girl once I saw her! ha!

It was quite the experience. I didn't know what to quite expect... I knew that they'd bargin with me and what not... But geesh... Jeans that I paid $40 for, (I am still cringing) I sold for $2. I sold about $17 worth of stuff (give or take). But I spent some of it! Jessica makes jewelry.. She was selling some of it. So I bought a couple of bracelets and a necklace. :o) Ohhhh! During the middle of the sale I saw her neighbor across the street set out a few things... One being a old school desk... A metal one with wood back and desk. I ran over and asked if he was selling it and he said no. I then asked how much I could buy it from him for.. He said, TAKE IT! OMG! I was soo excited! So I took it back over to her garage. :o) I was sitting there thinking, "I hope to GOD that Bill doesn't kill me when I get home with it".

I left around 12:15 p.m. or so and headed home. I called to make sure the boys didn't need anything on my way home. I got home and left the desk in the trunk. I didn't know if Bill had wanted me to bring it in yet or not. I walked in the door and Bill had cleane up soo much! What a great thing to come home to! Billy was eating lunch and Finnegan was sleeping. We finally got Billy down for a nap a little bit later, he was so exhausted. So Bill and I turned on "Free On-Demand". We went to the AMC part. I am a BIG BIG BIG sucker for really old movies... One of my favorites being Daddy Long Legs. We turned on Wuthering Heights. It was made in 1939. Its about unfortunate lovers Heathcliff and Cathy. They love one another, but he's a stable boy and she's part of a pretty rich family. If you've never seen it, I HIGHLY recommend it.. It was amazing! I am defintely adding it to my X-Mas list (well the book!). In the middle of the movie Finn had joined us and was such a little cutie.. He was blabbering up a storm and blowing bubbles at us!

Then a pretty horrible thing happend... I had gone the bathroom real quick and Billy grabbed my water bottle and started squirting it all over the wall. So Bill set Finn up against the middle of the couch and grabbed Billy, yelled at him, set down the water bottle, spanked him and as he was turning around Finn was falling off of the couch. He landed directly on the top of the water bottle spout and split open right under his eye. I ran out of the bathroom and asked what happened and then saw Finn's eye.. He was bleeding. Bill gave Finn to me and I calmed him down immediately. We took him into the bathroom to check out the laceration and it was pretty deep. I told Bill that we needed to go to the ER and he agreed. I got everything ready and then we all left with-in 15 minutes. We got to the ER at 6:45 p.m. and I kid you not... We were out of there almost 2 hours later. They glued his laceration shut and we were on our way. What a tough little guy! The nurses and the Dr. in the ER thought that he was the cutest little baby ever.. I told them they should see our two sons together, little heartbreakers in the making!

We needed to get some Rice Milk for Billy since we obviously didn't get to Costco... So we stopped at our local grocery store, HEB. On our way in, I could have sworn that a bird had poo'd on me or I had at least heard it. Bill checked me out and said that I was ok. We got to the pedistrian crosswalk and Bill and I for some reason separated ways... He yells over to me, "Billy has a bug on his forehead!". I get halfway through the crosswalk and look down.... Billy has bird poo in his hair and on his forehead. OMG! I almost peed my pants I was laughing so hard!! It was hilarious. Bill comes over and I am doubled over laughing hystarically. I get out the baby wipes and clean him up. Bill and I are just roaring in laughter while I am trying to clean him up. Needless to say, it's been a CRAZY day. We got what we needed and headed home.

Bill gave Billy a bath and then we all had a really late dinner and crashed... OH WHAT A DAY!!!
