Good times, and some cleaning too

This weekend was near perfect.
Kyle bought a grill, we ran errands, had a nice lunch outing (Taco Bell, but Ella liked it) as a family and even slept in both mornings. Can't complain about that.
We started off Saturday with me getting to sleep in, Ella and Kyle made breakfast, and then we started to sort through just about every closet and loaded up five huge trash bags filled with clothes, shoes, (by the way two of the three shoes have come in!!!) toys, kitchen tools never to be used, and so on. We loaded up and dropped these items off, went to lunch, checked out some items at Lowes, bought a pole and tool to clean the windows (more to come on this) and did a quick run into Sams.
We later went to Lurvern, MN, about 15 minutes from here to help Kyle select his new grill. They had popcorn at the store so Ella and I ate popcorn and helped the painful process of Kyle debating over which grill to purchase. Finally he picked on and then we went to the park for a while, came home and broke the grill in with hamburgers.
We watched the USA in several events, and Michael get his record breaking gold.
Sunday we rose late but both of us were up before Ella, which was funny to me. I made pancakes and set out my pizza dough for lunch. We all got ready and went to church. Good sermon and Ella even participated in children's church at the front, with some encouragement from Mom ;).
We made pizza when we got home and some carmel chex mix for Kyle and his coworkers for tomorrow's road trip to Iowa. We then put Ella down for a nap, with little protest and then Kyle and I set out to clean windows. Now I have checked into having the windows cleaned, it can be done for about $50, but knowing Kyle, we bought the tools to do it ourselves, yippee! Actually, the windows look darn good for two non-professional window cleaners. Some of the windows will fold in which is nice, but we have a couple of big ones on the second floor, so now they are all clean.

Kyle is grilling steaks and I veggies steaming right now, we plan to watch the Olympics tonight and get Ella down early.

And Ella is getting used to this potty training, two successes today... will keep you update on how this goes this week.
