June 8, 2012 - Busy Sunday

My sister and I played with these large dolls
when we were kids.  We took this nice photo
of them before dumping them.

During brunch someone said "crime scene" and
we knew how we were going to have some fun
with the dolls. 

Today we started of with lunch at my parents house. It was out way to end the family reunion. It was such a beautiful day, I could have stayed on the patio all day!   My Mom gave my sister and I a couple of boxes containing old toys from when we were children.  Some of the toys were in rough shape and in no condition for any kids to be playing with.  So we took some photos and tossed the toys.  I took home a lot of our wooden toys and the kids got lucky with my sister's Smurf and marble collection.

The Husband came back just in time to help
the girl doll with her crime!

The Boy had a birthday party at Palladium. We left the patio to pick him up at 1:00pm. He had fun and was happy to see his friends from school. The Boy would love to go back to Palladium again, it would be a great place for him to go with the Husband, since they both love video games.

Afterwards we decided to check out the Zellers liquidation sale. Our Zellers stores have been purchased by Target so they are starting to sell off everything. We managed to pick up some towels, a charging station, garden shears and a LeapPad for the Girl.

Then I took the Boy to his baseball practice. He was the only kid their other than the coaches son, so he got some extra help today which hopefully will spill over into the games. He was hitting the ball and throwing better. The coach even practiced catching pop flies and running to first base. Important skills!

After dinner the Girl and I had a movie date. We saw Madagascar 3, and I have to admit it was pretty funny! I loved hearing the Girl laugh at the funny parts of the movie. The Boy was a little jealous, but he needs to learn that he won't always get to do everything!
