Emma's First Tiger's Game and Lemonade Stand!

We had quite the busy week! We spent most of the week nights at Tony's parents' house, preparing for a garage sale we had this past weekend. On Tuesday, Emma and I took Tony to Comerica Park for a Detroit Tigers game...it was his Father's Day gift! He has been talking about wanting to take Emma to a game for some time now, so when I received discount tickets at work, I decided to go for it! We had a great time! Emma was quite bored, but Tony took her for a walk to find Paws (the mascot) and then I took her for a walk a little later to ride the carousel. Unfortunately, whenever she's bored, she thinks she's hungry...so that night, she ate pizza for dinner (before we got there), peanuts, Cracker Jacks, cotton candy, part of Tony's cookie, a Sierra Mist and a pretzel with cheese sauce. Needless to say, she passed out on the way home!! I really don't know who was more excited to go, Emma or Tony!!!


Tony and I took over 2 PACKED van-fulls and left at the end of the weekend with 2 garbage bags!! We made almost $400 in just the two days we had the sale! How awesome!! We were so surprised and very happy... we were trying to think of something for Emma to do to keep busy during the sale on Saturday, so we set her up a little lemonade stand...Emma and I decided that it would be by donation only and the money she earned would go to Relay for Life ("to help sick people get better")...wow...that little girl made $47.00 selling lemonade! I am so proud of her and she is so excited for Relay for Life now!!!

Bradlee, on the other hand, was rather bored:

That is, until BATH TIME! :)
We had a great week and are looking forward to the last day of school (Wednesday) and Bradlee's music class starting (Tuesday) and then Emma is taking 2 music classes, along with her gymnastics! Of course, Emma's also so excited to swim in her pool and in Tony's parents' BIG pool! LOL Hope you all have a great week!
