School's Out!!
School's out, and Crab Festival is on! Of course, it has been beautiful and sunny here until last night, when Crab Fest officially started. Then it decided to RAIN and the wind has been blowing like mad! It is supposed to clear up Sunday and Monday, so hopefully there will be at least one nice day to play. The kids of course are looking forward to the parade tomorrow, and the rides and booths. I have one purpose in going to Crab Fest, and that is to get my plate of king crab legs. Normally I like to watch the Search and Rescue Demonstations and the Survival Suit race too, but with the rain, wind, baby, and huge crowd of people I'm not into it too much this year. I will probably go with Brian and the kids and walk around to see what there is to see, but will likely send them off to have fun while Chip and I stay home with my plate of crab legs! I may even splurge and get a smoked turkey leg too! Monday is wrist-band day, so they can buy wrist bands and ride all day for one price. It's much cheaper than the ride tickets which usually are quite spendy.
Meanwhile, I have gotten all the books packed, and ALMOST finished packing the sewing room. I moved the baby into Kasi's room for now, which she continues to complain about, but she is surviving. Anyway, I am using the sewing room to stack boxes, so there isn't much room for the bassinet in there right now. But I am managing to get the stack of boxes confined to that room for now, and out of the living room.
We are going to have a moving sale on Saturday, June 19th, so wish us luck. Not expecting to make too much money, but am hoping to get rid of some of the excess "stuff". We are down to 63 days now, and I think I have more than enough to do to fill them up and then some! I went over and helped a friend with her move-out cleaning yesterday. She had borrowed a Eureka Enviro-Steamer from someone so we were using it. I was REALLY impressed with how well it did! It cleaned EVERYTHING and then some! I had also bought some of the Mr Clean Magic Erasers and wanted to try them out. WOW! Did they work well!! They took stuff off with VERY little effort that we had been scrubbing on before! So, I am stockpiling! I told Brian I am going to invest in a bunch of them and an Enviro-Steamer, and this house cleaning is going to be a breeze!
Will try to get some pictures of the kids this weekend and get them posted up here next week.
Meanwhile, take care, and we send our love and best wishes to all of our friends and families.
