First things first -- Spencer made the soccer team!! He is so happy to be on the team. Out of thirty-something boys who tried out, the coach only took 16. A good confidence boost for Spencer! We talked to his coach at the open house last week and he told us it was obvious Spencer has training in soccer. Spencer has actually been on one soccer team after another since kindergarten. He says it's his favorite sport now, with basketball being a close second (He'll try out for basketball in January). So anyway, he'll have soccer practice almost every day after school and has already made a few friends on the team. Yay! Congratulations Spencer!
I spent all last week getting ready for our second garage sale of the year. We had a gigantic one last May but I still had so much stuff leftover! When my friend Laurel said she was going to have a garage sale at her house in the Fall, I put all the leftover stuff aside in my basement. We got it back out this week for a last ditch effort to make some money on it. The garage sale took place at her house last Thursday - Saturday and was a moderate success -- We made almost $500---my share was almost $200. When you count the $400 I made last spring, that would be a total of $600.... Not too shabby, but I still had quite a few things that never sold. It makes me a little bummed because they are nice things, still in really good condition. I've decided instead of storing them anymore, I'll be giving them away now. I'm not having another garage sale for a long, long time!! It's so much work! We've decided to take all our leftover baby stuff to Joseph and Brittany (Joshua's brother) at Thanksgiving. Hopefully their new baby boy will get a lot of use out of the clothes and baby toys we still have!
On Friday night, Spencer and I went on a 12-mile bike ride. I loaded our bikes into the car, packed a picnic to put in my backpack and we took off to a nearby metropark as soon as Josh got home from work. It gets dark around 8:30 now and was a little chilly (between 55-60 degrees) so we had to cut our bike trip shorter than we would have liked but we had a great time! We're already making plans for a 30-mile biking trip next summer!
