Ever have one of those weeks where you can’t remember sitting? Definately there.

We did the lemmonaid stand for Anthem yesterday. I am not sure if this happens outside of Richmond, but kids sell lemmonade to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network. The girls had a grand time. I am pooped.

Earlier this week we did Peach and ginger preserves. We now have 5 1/1 pints. Amazing how 17 peaches can turn into so many jars. Today I am doing blueberries. Next week, tomatoes. Our are no where near ready, but my husband frequents the 17th street market downtown and has an in for a bushel of tomatoes. He could talk most anyone into selling something cheap…a scrounge that man.

So this morning I decided to sit at the movies. This morning the girls and I took the grandparents to see Kit Kittredge. A lot of fun, especially the clothes. Little sis had a hard time with the plot, but the clothes kept her interested. Just look at the button on the purple dress!! Here she’s wearing an amazing hat with a rose on it…hard to see, but it would be a lot of fun to try to do.

And does anyone else think the Kit doll looks a lot like my friend Becky from the 70’s? I wish the price was about the same…there really isn’t an affordable doll that looks like a little girls. Babies, yes. Prostitutes, yes. But nothing in between for those of us on a budget. Althought the bratz dolls would be ceap to sew for, not much in the way of fabric needed.
