Last Night in Kansas

We've had a wonderful trip here this last week. We will be heading back tomorrow evening. Thanks to everyone for making our trip wonderful. As soon as I find my camera I will post some pictures and sum up our week a little better.

Our Sale

Yesterday we attempted to hold a parking spot sale to get rid of a bunch of old clothes and other random stuff. Moria also had her fair share of stuff to sell. I had to work in the morning, so we didn't set up till afternoon. We thought we'd do pretty well since we live on a street with a TON of apartments and there is pretty decent foot and car traffic.


There was an spurt early on and it seemed like things were off to a good start.

Then things took a turn for the worse and we got a little desperate for customers. Kevin tried to get the attention of cars by waving and dancing. He even did a few handstands.
We tried out a two person act and roped in a few more customers.

We finally decided to give up. It was a hot weekend and we think people were just hanging by the pool or staying inside to avoid the sun. I had to work again this morning and Kevin thought he'd give it a go again earlier in the day. Moria and he sat outside for a bit, but there wasn't much success and it was hotter than yesterday. They finally gave up for good and took everything we hadn't sold to Goodwill.

Although the sale wasn't a success...we had fun hanging out with Sarah and Moria.

We are really looking forward to our trip home next weekend. This week will mostly be doing laundry and getting things together before we leave. This week will probably be torturous, but I will hope that it goes faster thank I think it will!!!

May so far...

It has been an incredibly hectic month, but I thought I'd take a minute to catch up on what we've been up to so far this month.

Well.....

Kevin turned 26 and has a a new DVD player.

We took a train to San Francisco and went to a Giants Game at AT&T park.

I went shopping in San Francisco with Sarah and Moria.

Kevin had a softball game and won by forfeit.

We went to a belated Cinco de Mayo party and there was a pinata. Kevin threw people in the blow up pool.

We finished going through clothes that we are going to try and sell this weekend in our "parking spot sale" (We don't have a garage or yard.)

This weekend I have to work and we are having our sale. Then it is cleaning up and taking care of last minute details before we head back to Kansas next weekend!!
