Ava and I went to see the Barbie movie last weekend, and it was SO good! It was not the light and fluffy movie that you might think it would be...it had some very deep and emotional moments. I loved it!

Our whole week has been centered on the RHS Band Garage Sale. Ava did collections last Saturday, I did them on Monday night during rehearsal, and then on Friday night, Ava and I both staffed areas of the sale. I almost gone run over as people pushed their way into the Accessories section...crazy! On Saturday morning, we worked another shift, and my mom joined us, as well. I went back to the Seasonal Goods section, and it was nice and peaceful. Busy, but not quite as chaotic! We walked away from it spending only $10, so I think we did very well. It'll be interesting to see how much money we raise this year.
G spent the week at a traditional day camp with a few neighborhood friends. He swam, made a tye-dye shirt, canoed, and spent so much time outdoors. He came home dirty every night, but I still think he loved it. He also earned his third stripe on his green belt (we really like that teacher because he tests groups of kids instead of having the kids tell him when they are ready to test...it's made the whole difference in G moving up in rank.)
I also went to rehearsal a few night, and watched Ava learn a fancy move. She's the center of a large brass circle, and eventually gets picked up by four guys and they spin her around a few times (perpendicular to the ground!) The clarinets cheered for her the first time they were able to do it successfully. Makes sense why she was put in the middle since she's so petite. (And I think she really likes it...she had a huge smile on her face the first night.)
Other than all of that, Scott worked a lot. I worked a lot. There was just a lot of work to do. G has been with Grandma Deb since Friday night, so they could go to a wedding together on Saturday afternoon. I bet they had a wonderful time!
