WHEW, this has been a busy week! Did I start last week’s by saying that, too? I did a yard sale this weekend (my first ever), to raise some more money for LLS. It was pretty successful, but with my husband working out of town all week, pretty exhausting, too. Plus, every single one of us was sick, in various stages of the yuck. I’m glad the sale is over, but now I start working on getting my big blog auction put together. It starts on Sept. 30, and you do NOT want to miss it. I have so many amazing donations for everybody to bid on, and all of the money goes straight to LLS.
Anyway. Here’s what our week was like.
Sept. 15
Trying to recover from the half marathon…sore, sick, tired, and solo. This dude refused to go to bed. I don’t think he was very sorry about it, either.
Sept. 16
It was a rainy week. The princess umbrella hardly left the preschool backpack. Except for posing opportunities.
Sept. 17
I got to volunteer in the preschool class for the first time this year. It was a lot of fun!
Sept. 18
It’s a wonder anybody was bathed this week. We ran out of time the night before picture day, so I gave the big three showers. They weren’t sure of them, but loved them in the end (they’ve only had a handful of showers in their entire little lives).
Sept. 19
After preschool, the middle school marching band has started practicing in the school driveway. We love to watch them.
Sept. 20
At the yard sale. It was a beautiful (chilly) day. And busy on Friday!
Sept. 21
Day two of the yard sale. Just as beautiful, not so busy.
How was your week?
Certainly a busy week indeed, and congratulations on the successful yard sale!
Thanks, Alison! I'm so glad that both the week and the sale are over! 😀
I need to have a yard sale in the worst way. Around here those are a regular occurence everywhere. Love her umbrella. My kids have always loved showers over baths.. I have to wonder are they really mine.
I would NOT have done it if I wasn't trying to raise money! They're so much work. But, there was a big festival in town, and that's when everybody has them. The timing was kind of perfect. But, I won't be having another one for a long, long time!
Hope everyone is mostly over the yuck and feeling better. It's still lingering around here and I just want to feel normal again. Also, my girls, especially the little one, prefer baths to showers, she's never quite sure of them either.
The yuck is still lingering here, especially for the boys. I finally made a dr's appt for Henry for tomorrow, but he came home and said he was coughing a lot less. So, I canceled it. Hopefully, it'll taper for him now, because the poor kid is worn out. Normal would be good!
You look so gorgeous in your yard sale photo. The blog auction sounds like fun! I'll be sure to help spread the word. How did another week fly by?
Oh, thank you, Stevie! I don't know how September is almost over, seriously. SERIOUSLY! But thank you for your support…..the sharing will be very much appreciated!
I love your children's smiles in the photos – so awesome! (And yes, Erv didn't seem too disappointed to be up late!)
Congratulations on your yard sale! I haven't had one in a number of years but I remember how tiring they are!
You do NOT look sick in these pictures – none of you do.
All I see are beautiful smiles and generous hearts.
Well done, Greta. Well done.
I love the pic of you and Erv, he looks like he's ready to stay up all night, lol. Glad to hear your yard sale was a success!
You are one busy mama! Did I say that last week, too? I love yard sales, and glad yours was a success!
