weekend in review

It's been a great, albeit tiring, few days around here. I am starting to think that's how we are going to feel about most days from here on out.

World Cup excitement continues. Friday was the USA vs Slovenia game. My fantastic boss let me leave work for a couple hours that morning to enjoy the game (she's the best!). We shouted and cheered as the USA came back from their deficit, were shocked by the bonkers ref who disallowed their winning goal, and generally had a fun time of it all. Brendan has really shown awesome spirit for his adopted country :)



Saturday brought our enormous moving to Africa yard sale. Pricing and set up was a very long and tiring process (especially since we live on a third floor apartment and had to shlep everything down), but it was a tremendous success. We managed to off-load 80% of our remaining stuff, and a friend/neighbor is holding a benefit yard sale next weekend (proceeds going to support an orphanage in Haiti) so he will be getting our remnants later this week. 



The neighboring kids on both sides were out as well. Two of them decided to maximize on the hot day and steady stream of customers by setting up a lemonade stand. Gotta love those budding entrepreneurs!



Our other neighbor, Ayo, harnessed his creative juices.
