Getaway

It was the annual guys weekend to the dunes. They headed south, to Saturday we girls headed north. Our ultimate goal was Ikea, but we meandered our way in that direction, stopping to shop or eat when we felt like it. How else would it take us 6 hours to get fifty miles?

As I said, we were aiming for Ikea. I went in with a completely open mind. One of the pluses of a new house is decorating. Of course, decorating on a budget can be a challenge. I found a few things and I'll work on getting them put away this week. So far, the only thing I've taken care of is the new silverware drawer organizer I put together.

School Carnival

Friday night Mom and I helped my sister corral the kids at the Preschool Carnival. Face painting and throw the ball in the bucket were popular, the popcorn was a big hit, but the their favorite activity was the fish pond. It's interesting, but I remember that one being pretty popular back when I was in elementary school.
