This week has been so insanely busy/crazy/stressful! I got very sick with Mastitis on Monday and got on some antibiotics but by Tuesday night I had taken a turn even worse so was put on IV up in the hospital.. It is amazing how fast it can make you VERY ILL! I was sent home with some different antibiotics that I ended up reacting too so am now on a new type.. But am much better now! Had a trip planned on Thursday to go to Vic to the passport office but woke up to Cedar puking all over my face :0 the joys of being a mama! He had a lousy day and felt awful.. So today we headed out to do the passports then…. the van blew up, well didn’t completely blow up but the rad did and the rad tank and hopefully nothing else so that was fun 5 kids and a broken van.. so THANK GOODNESS Oma came to the rescue, THANK YOU, WE LOVE YOU!!! Curt came and took a few kids and got the van towed and into the shop.. Oma and I took the others and got the passports finally done then dropped us back at home. The van will be done Monday, hopefully!! Since it has to be ready to drive 14 hours next Saturday.. So on the home front this week has basically been a write off for packing etc. I think it is actually way messier and more disorganized then it was last week. But now that I am feeling better we are back on it! And are excited our wonderful friends are throwing us a going away party tomorrow night! Here is a picture of our new Marimba we got made for travelling with, a compact Soprano.. We traded our full sized Tenor for a compact too so can take them both with us now.
Yay! That was alot of work!!! Sorry I have been a bit slow on the posting here this week, getting ready for the garage sale was pretty much time consuming in all ways! We are SO SO glad it is done!!!! It all went well, was smoking hot out so we were all melting by early afternoon so we packed it up around 1pm. Sierra had a blast with her table of kids stuff and charged a dollar for everything which was pretty cute 
She came down in price when people bargained with her though! 
We had a good turn out and sold quite a bit of stuff!! Still have bags and boxes full that are going to be donated
We forgot to take any pics until the end when were packing up! But here are a few..
We had 18 bags of recycling that got picked up in today’s load. Wahoo
That felt good! Had a full filling cabinet that had to be put through the paper shreader, very few things in it that need to be kept. Amazing! I also spent almost a full day going through tonnes of old pictures to recycle.. I can’t believe how much I must have spent on photo printing before digital pics :0
On a not so happy note somehow the back window on our Jetta got blown out yesterday, totally shattered! Were hoping to sell the Jetta soon so this will slow that down a bit!
Cedar LOVES playing the marimba! We collapsed the legs down and put it on the floor for him and thats how he spends most of his day!!
