Oh, the day has come that we must pack up and leave this lovely if somewhat ramshackle home. It has served us very well and we will remember it fondly but, all good things must come to an end and so shall our time here - no more walking home from school in the cool shade, no more Halloweens with a thousand visitors, no more people letting their dog crap on my lawn ... OK, so I guess there are some upsides ...
We took advantage of this being our last weekend and finally had a lemonade stand. It was so cute - we had lemonade and freshly baked cookies! We sold out in about 2 hours - that's about as much lemonade stand as anyone could take. Little Char Char was the best salesperson ever - bellowing "WHO WANTS LEMONADE" to every car, biker and pedestrian passing by. Jacqui shrunk ever lower in her chair every time she made her pitch- "This is sooooo embarrassing, I'm going to wait in the garage". 8 going on 13! Unbelievable!
Big profits were made today - Jacqui asked if she could go to the mall and pick up some lipstick and then maybe get her nails done. I kid you not.
The plastering went on at the house all weekend long. I haven't been by to see it yet but it's my first stop tomorrow after I drop Chars off at Art Camp. Jacqui's only camp option is full for the week so she's going to be doing a lot of 'watching mommy pack' camp. Fun for everyone!
