A Busy Saturday

Saturday I went to the Chibana yard sale with a friend of mine. This was my first time going as a seller or buyer. I had heard that it can be chaotic, I didn't realize how true that was. We got there a little before 6 a.m. When we finally got there and parked, I had someone already looking in the back of my van! As soon as I opened it a guy bought two items from me! So they have vendor set up from 5:30 am to 6:30, vendor shopping from 6:30 to 7, then they open the gates for the Japanese to come in and shop from 7 to 10. When they opened the gates at 7, I was not ready for the flood of people who would come, and not only come...but run in! Seriously! As soon as they all started running towards us, I looked at Sarah and said, "What are we doing here!!??" I think at one time we had at least 10-15 people rummaging through our stuff. They don't just sort through it and look around, they tare through it! I ended up with a mountain of clothes, nothing was organized any more! And every time that Sarah and I would try to organize the mess, it would just get all jumbled up again so we gave up! Well, it was quite a morning. I made just about 200 dollars, not bad!
After the yard sale I had to run to the BX then off to a birthday party that Gaber was invited to. It was a lot of fun for him. It was a princess party...you are now wondering how that would be fun for a boy, right?...the girls all dressed as princesses and then they gave the boys swords, shields and crowns to wear. So all the boys were knights or kings. It was so cute! They also got to play putt putt and pin the tale on the donkey. And then, Gaber's favorite party of a birthday party, is the cake. It was made to look like a castle, and it did look pretty good! :)
So, we get home from the party at 3, I take an hour nap, then we had to go down south of the island to Arin Krin, aka The Garlic House, for a going away. Jeff loves this place, so do I actually. We don't go a lot b/c it takes a long time to get there because of traffic. So we had a delicious dinner and then we finally came home and I was finally done for the day!

Today we went to church, like we always do, but then Tara ended up with a 101.7 fever at church so I had to come home early with her. Not sure what is going on with that baby. She has had a runny nose since the beginning of August. Not just runny...its pouring most of the time. We thought it was teething, then thought it was allergies. But now that she has a temp, I don't know. I guess I'll try calling the clinic, again, tomorrow and get her an appointment.

Lastly, the countdown is now to: 4 weeks until we PCS! :)

Here are a few pictures from this week:
