List of sundry items
1. Today is the last day of school - finally! The girls are out at 12:30 and are looking forward to a summertime filled with glorious, carefree days until they start the next grade…in three weeks. Sometimes year round school really stinks. 2. During this incredibly brief vacation, they have decided they want to learn to sew clothes for their American Girl dolls. So we went shopping and after much discussion and deliberation, they settled on this pattern. Cute, but a bit complicated for a first timer. Which means that I will most likely be making clothes for their American Girl dolls. 3. We have not sold the house yet (since some of you have asked). We have at least one or two showings a week, enough that it’s a battle to keep the house clean and not enough to get my hopes up. No offers. I know it’s the market and all that but it’s hard not to get discouraged. 4. Due to the upcoming school schedule, we now have less than three weeks to decide if we’re actually going or staying and when and where and how. And if we leave do we keep the house vacant and stage it or try to rent it? And should we leave it on the market and maybe move halfway through the school year or pull it off and try again next year, if at all? I was hoping to have this all resolved long before now and every time I think about it I want to throw up. 5. My sister is visiting from Maryland and has enacted a shock and awe plan to win Adam’s loyalty that involves lots of outside time and a some chocolate covered raisins. It’s worked - she had him at hello. 6. We are attempting to make some summertime skirts (for us) while she’s here but keep getting distracted by chubby baby butt and tiny doll patterns. 7. Adam still refuses to walk or crawl or really move very much at all. I am still deciding whether I need to amp up the worry factor on this. 8. French onion Sun Chips are awesome but I could do without the next morning aftertaste. 9. I hate the PBS show Clifford. The cheesy storylines, the extreme political correctness, and the fact that no one seems the least bit bothered that it’s a gigantic dog. What about the barking and the shedding and the poop? Have we not thought these things through?

That’s what I always hated about year-round school… the lack of a real summer vacation!
*hugs* on the house situation… and I must say that I guffawed while reading most of these sundry items…

That is one ruffly, pleaty, ribbony, complicatory dress. And you have to make two?! I am exhausted just thinking about it… ; )

I never liked Clifford, and I thought Emily Elizabeth was odd in her own right.
