So in a desperate attempt to make back lost money this year we hosted a Gold Party at our house in May. We offered small treats and non alcoholic drinks....after all we were trying to make money-not spend it all on hosting.
Somehow we managed to get the house together in our exhausted state we've been in since August. Julie the gold lady came and set up her light, scale, and money (most important part) and then the party began. 
Each guest (and those that dropped off bags with me to get quotes, a text with the bid offered, and then money delivered by me) had a turn at the table while Debbie determined real vs. fake gold and silver. She did her calculations and you'd walk away with cash on hand and your stones if you had any. Mychel here left with $700! We made out pretty good (so did Bebe and Noel that had some items to sell). After the day we were feeling pretty good about getting Jack a swing set with the combined money from selling his Little Tikes and the gold money....but I'll jump ahead a little since I'm so behind...after Nick's wreck...no swing in sight for Mr. Jack. Sorry buddy, we tried! 
Jack and Willow had fun as you can see while the adults were making money in the other room.
The next morning with money in our pockets we decided to get outdoors some before it gets too miserably hot to visit the Arboretum since we have our membership til October (unsure of renewing this year-we'll see how our lucky pans out between now and then). Picnic lunch soon after we got there.
"Ham" was on the menu as you can tell!
So was my Route 44 water with lemon from Sonic. Keep thinking it will help with my splotchy, puffy face...but nope! 
Jack was the tour guide making sure to read the background information for the new Texas Town display.
"Who's there?"
"Dad, this is such a pain...why don't they just have sinks like us?" 
"I'm thinking since I'm a big boy now that I might be needing a wagon upgrade."
My boys
My little boy (and my big a%& belly already...really?!?!)
You know you can still see it in his eyes and now his smile-TROUBLE but more than that
LOVE!What a great day for the Relle Clan!
