Busy Weekend... Wedding, Neighborhood garage sale, Tennis Match, Halloween Carnival!

Whew, what a full weekend!!! Friday night we went to Brandy and Greg's wedding in Roswell. Then we participated in the neighborhood garage sale saturday! We were able to clean out the old "stuff" and make room for the extra "stuff" we always accumulate at Christmas. Ellie had been asking for a 10 speed bike for her Birthday/Christmas. She was fortunate enough to find one at a neighbor's garage sale for only $15.00! Then Sunday I had a tennis match. (Yay, we won:))) Followed by our Annual Neighborhood Halloween Carnival. Keith and I helped set up and clean up and each worked a booth. Ellie helped with the face painting. Emma won a freeze/dance contest! 

Last week, I asked my tennis coach if she wanted to give away a set of lessons at the carnival to try to get new players to sign up. She gave me a certificate and said, "You better not be the winner, wink, wink!" As people came to the carnival, I got everyone to put their name in a bucket for the drawing. I gave the bucket to the D.J. to draw a name. He picked a random kid from the crowd to reach in and draw a name.  Ellie's name was called and people started yelling... "fixed, fixed." They know I'm a tennis addict, lol! I was still in my tennis attire since I came straight from my match to the carnival. It was pretty funny. There's no way I'm telling my coach one of my family members won. Plus, Ellie didn't want the lessons. We gave them to one of the women in the neighborhood that seemed really interested in learning to play:)
