Rainy weekends don't slow us down!

It rained a lot last weekend. A lot! You could pretty much sum up the weekend as gloomy, chilly and wet. But that didn't slow down the Foley family! We were on our toes all weekend!

We started off our weekend of fun going to the Rider football game with Carlye and the girls. The girls watched the game for a little bit (more like a few minutes) and the rest of the night they spent playing, dancing, running up and down the sidewalk, and catching/chasing grasshoppers.

Here is a picture of Georgia and Kate waiting for the guys to run out on the field after halftime.

Here is one of Mary Clare's still moments where she actually stopped to watch the game.

This is where Kate caught a grasshopper and was showing it off. He was trying to get away which made Kate and Georgia hysterically laugh.

K & G's grasshopper finally flew away (bless his heart) but Kate stopped the police officer to see where he-as in the grasshopper-went....Pretty sure she asked the cop to go find him.

Then Saturday morning we headed out to birthday party #1 for Kate's sweet friend Presley at Jump for Joy. Kate and her friends crawl up the ladder to go down the slide!

Parker waits at the top for his buddy Kate. Kate and Parker have grown up together at School For Little People. His family blog is on my list.

I had to leave Kate at the party by herself while Mary Clare and I ran to a baby shower down the road. Mary Clare got a little upset because she did not want to leave because she was having so much fun on the slide and pink car!

We ended Saturday with yet another baby shower and birthday party for Kate's other good friend Jaidyn at Gymnastics Sport Center. Sunday evening we went to pick up the Bindel girls and headed out to the Riddle Farm Autism Rocks Fall Festival. The proceeds from the Fall Festival supports the Applied Behaviorial Analysis program for autistic children at Christ Academy. It was pretty muddy from all the rain, but we still had a blast. Ribs Inc cooked some awesome ribs for the adults, and the kids got to play on Tumblebus.

Students from Midwestern State's College of Education came out and had a tent of activites for the kids.

Kate got her fingernails painted, and she had them out to dry while she got a section of her hair braided and beaded.

Those of you who know Mary Clare know that she does not like big dogs. Little ones like beagles are ok, but anything bigger than that terrifies her. That is why I posted this picture is because #1 she has ahuge smile on her face and #2....

She actually pets the dog! That is a first for her to do without big gator tears coming down her cheeks! Yeah Mary Clare!

So needless to say we were ALL ready to go to bed this past Sunday night. We are looking forward to this weekend as well because the girls and I are planning spending some time with the Boatner family! Good times to be had!

I forgot to mention that I have set a goal for myself to lose 10 pounds a month. I have already lost 6 pounds so far, and we are half way through the month! Woo-Hoo!
