Today was nothing spectacular, no "going out with a bang" to finish off the summer. We had three major accomplishments.



   1 - The kids' bedrooms got cleaned, furniture moved around a bit, and a bit of junk thrown away. This is pretty major. The kids even kind of helped me. I told them they didn't have to, but they know me too well. They don't help, LOTS of stuff gets thrown away instead of just a little bit. So they helped willingly. Even smiling!

   2 - David finished clearing out one of our vegetable gardens and replaced it with plants, a garden that (hopefully) won't require as much work as the peas and beans did. Oh yeah, and he harvested a big crop of carrots, the little carrot crop that had no hope of succeeding, it grew and grew and now we've got carrots galore. Wahoo!



   3 - The kids "washed Mom's car." Ha! More like played in the water and a bucket of soap for a couple of hours and despite the soap, came in muddy and needing showers. Which they willingly took, because they were freezing from the cold water from the hose and wanted to warm up.

And that was it. Tonight we'll put the finishing touches on our passports, plan big things and pray for the best.
