Busy week ahead

We finally have a DSL line. Wahoo! I was beginning to think we'd be the last people in California to get one ;) Lilli has been enthralled by the Sir David Attenborough clips on YouTube. Me, I'm just loving how quickly pages load now. Hmmmm, I bet photos will upload better now, too. Here are some obligatory cute kids shots just to check. Yep, pretty quick. Wahoo!

We have a busy week ahead of us. Luckily the kids are now well again. Just when I had been getting smug about us having missed getting the nasty flu that was going around, whammo! Lilli got it first, then Michael, then Toby. Now, God willin' and the crick don't rise, we're on the way to snot-free living.

Tomorrow we have grocery shopping to do. A major event that takes most of the day. Half-an-hour drive, big store, three kids. Joy joy fun fun. There's a reason I only do this once a month ;) On the plus side, while we're in Oakhurst, we can stop by the consignment store for the $1 sale to stock up on winter clothes for the kids, and maybe stop at the park for a while. Then back to town for a 4-H meeting (Poultry). Tuesday brings another 4-H meeting (Vegetable Gardening). Thursday I'm babysitting a friend's two kids at her house. Friday is School Day at the Sonora Celtic Faire. That will make a good start to our SCA camping season. On Sunday, the Sierra Foothill Conservancy is hosting an Open House at one of their properties, so a friend and I are going to try and go hike with the kids. Should be interesting ;)

In the meantime.... I'm sorting through our camping gear and SCA clothes. So a bunch of it that had been moved down to the shed last summer is now back in the house. That wouldn't be so bad, except that the space that this stuff could live in (my closet) is currently over-run by our books, which got ousted out of the spare room when Lilli moved into it. So I'm building some bookshelves to go in the dining room, and working on making more SCA garb. Can we say over-scheduled!?
