What a success the Islandmoms Sale was…overall we raised $1800 (there were 15 sellers). Personally, I was happy to get rid of a lot of the clothes and make $300! I was completly beat afterwards, that was a lot to organize. The moms want to do another sale in the Spring so that’s something for the calendar.

Went to a couple garage sales this morning, my friend Holly’s daughter is raising money to build a school in Sri Lanka and started an organization, Bainbridge Kids Care. They raised $4,000 this weekend! Anyhow, you can check out what she’s doing here, its pretty amazing for a 6th grader: http://www.bainbridgekidscare.com/.

Another friend update, Mateo is out of the hospital and back home. Thanks all for your kind thoughts and prayers for him and his family. He has a long road to recovery but he’s surely a fighter.

We did our Sunday morning coffee with the boys at Bainbridge Bakers and then came home to watch the Seahawks game and I squeezed in a garage sale. It was fun to get out the boy’s football jersey’s again, they looked so cute. They all scream “touchdown” now and throw up their arms.

After the game and their naps, we took them into Walmart and let them pick out a Winnie the Pooh DVD (that was their reward for parting with their toys/clothes for the sale). On the way home, Carlos and Levi were talking back and forth for a few minutes (with Dee and I only getting about 1/3 of the conversation) and Carlos suddenly said some long sentence in gibberish and Levi chuckled and said, “oh my gosh, that wasn’t even a word” These boys are too funny sometimes.

We’re looking forward to a busy week…Levi starts preschool on Tuesday, Faith’s coming to play and we are having a goodbye dinner for Julio, who is going to his future family soon. Our niece, Emma’s birthday is on Wednesday and we are planning on going down to celebrate next weekend. Should be fun to hang out with Linda, Scott and the girls for the weekend.
