Relax!!

After some busy times these last few days, I have made the executive decision to declare today a day of rest.  Friday we were packing up the needed items for the Port-A-Pit fundraiser.  I sold about 20 headbands / barrettes / baby socks on Saturday, to put an additional $70 in the adoption fund, above and beyond what we would have brought in.  Saturday we were selling chicken all day, until 5, then home to collapse after we vacuum sealed the left over chicken.  Sunday we took the left over chicken in to Mike's church, to sell at a discount to members of his congregation.  Then we had to clean all the coolers we brought home from the sale.  Nelson's puts the chicken in coolers after they cook it.  When they are done cooking, they take away any empties and the rest we take home to clean, then return them to the next Port-A-Pit location.  It's really a great system.  Monday brought cleaning out the camper since we took it out to the Port-A-Pit site for the kids to play in, a place for the grown ups to rest, and just a handy thing to have up there.  Unfortunately, it was muddy where we parked, so I had to mop the camper after unloading and sweeping it out yesterday.  So, since the boys and I have been working hard on all that, today we will rest.  They can watch TV, play with their pets, play video games, or even play together (God forbid).  I still have laundry to do today, but if that is all I have to do, then that is pretty relaxing for me too.  It's going to be a beautiful, cool, sunny day.  Great for hanging clothes on the line,  bicycling, swinging or sandbox playing.  Maybe I will get real motivated today and make play dough.
