One more thing.....


Today my dad asked if Mary was wearing a hand-me-down outfit from her older brothers. Seriously??? (that comment is in honor of Ang and KJ) Have you ever seen me dress Luke and Isaac in pink stripe leggings and a flower shirt? Come on.

Mary's Window Washing Service

The other night KJ said she needed to clean her windows. She said she hadn't done them in 6 months (I haven't done mine in......ever) I didn't know that Mary was good at window cleaning--she's booked with me for the next few weeks but will be available for others on an "as needed" basis.

Sore throat and more

Isaac has a sore throat. He also has had a low fever for the past couple days. I think he is fine, and quite honestly, I like it when he is sick because he is slower.

Anyway, yesterday we went to visit Chris as work. He had gotten a new office and Isaac wanted to see it. On the way there Isaac was watching Shrek the Third. In the movie, Charming says, "I will restore dignity to the throne." Isaac pipes up from the back seat, "Mommy, that is what hurts in my throat." I was half listening to the movie so I ask, "What is it that hurts?" Isaac answers, "My dignity."

Classic.

Craft Fair

Well, I did my first craft fair this weekend. To protect myself from being picked up by other bloggers who hated this craft fair I will keep the name a secret. But, I will tell you that it SUCKED! AUGH!

1. We were up on a stage, 4 feet higher than the floor.
2. We were at the BACK of the stage with hardly any light.
3. The booth in front of us had a 6 foot high shelving system packed with bags that extended almost the entire length of the stage and completely blocked any and all view of us.
4. We were next to a health food dealer and the other side was a chiropractor. Fun.
5. The health food dealer had such a bad attitude about their booth being in the back and being blocked that they were talking trash about the event to us on Saturday for 7 hours straight. In fact, the woman health food dealer got into a fight with the promotor and the police were called.

On the positive side, a booth on the floor in a prime spot left on Saturday because she wasn't making any sales. My friend Priscilla and I swooped in and took her spot and doubled our orders today not to mention got away from the angry lady up on the stage.

All in all we didn't make our entry fee back in sales but we met some nice people and hopefully will get some sales from that.

Of course, the highlight of my two days was when my friend Jenny showed up with Tate!!

Oh! And Tate did the nastiest toot ever. It was foul. Guess Bongo was right.
