And from the homefront...

Yesterday got so warm and muggy that we actually turned the AC on for a little while! The children of the neighborhood were frolicking about the streets in last summer's clothes, that don't quite fit anymore. Today was cold and rainy, and this jaunt you see here was, for the first day in a very long time, the only time the kids and I left the house all day. I forced myself to stay home, which is hard for me! We all have colds, and a big weekend ahead, so we played dollhouse and did puzzles and paints and watched some videos. It was quite cozy and nice. I've been getting ready for our huge MOPS consignment sale this weekend - I'm selling a ton of stuff! It will be quite the event with over 90 consignors and 50 volunteers, including security! I'm really excited about it, except for having to take the kids with me tommorrow for consignor drop-off - it will be an absolute zoo. But my dear neighbor Teresa is watching the kids tommorrow evening so I can go to the volunteer-only pre-sale (yeay!) and then pick up Mark from the airport. We are excited to have him back home!
