Pretend this is a fitting title
By Moriah on September 8th, 2009
I apologize in advance for what is certain to be the most rambly post ever.
Hope everyone had a good Labor Day! Andy’s also off on Tuesdays so we could have gone somewhere fun, had we thought of it. As it was, we took my mom to the airport Sunday morning and had friends over after church Sunday evening and then Monday Andy finished the 2nd coat of paint on two sides of the house.
The last few days with my mom were spent doing those little sorts of annoying things you hate doing but love having the results. (I mean who really wants to clean out the laundry room and that dark coat closet?)
She and I also took the kids to the pool Friday, possibly for the last time this summer. The weather had cooled off just enough to knock out the humidity. And we’ve been reacquainting ourselves with the local playground. (Which I had sworn off for the summer.)
Saturday night one of my close friends’ little sister got married, and conveniently, my mom was still here to take care of my kids so I could go without an entourage. It was a lovely wedding and fun to catch up with people I haven’t seen in a while.
Yesterday that same friend called wondering if I wanted to go with her to the fall consignment sale for kids’ clothes. Why yes, yes I do!
I bought several fall things for Madeline and a navy wool church coat that is ridiculous in its old-fashioned cuteness. It even came with a muff. (Not like we need those sorts of things very often here.) I also got another Boppy pillow since I’m not entirely sure where mine is, and a couple other random baby things for cheap.
Madeline’s favorite thing was this dress (because it “goes down”), which she wore the rest of the evening:
They also had a few racks of maternity clothes and I picked up this 3/4–sleeve dark gray top for me. Well, later when Madeline was looking through all her loot, it dawned on me I couldn’t find that shirt. Looked everywhere. Called Sarah to see if maybe I had left it in her car.
No shirt.
Then we remembered my neighbor had been outside and helped me out of the car, and maybe it had gotten dropped in the switch. I went out this morning and sure enough, there was my shirt – out in the grass, wet. (I didn’t care, I was just thankful to find it since I’d paid for it. And because it was cute, to be honest.)
Tonight Drew has his kindergarten orientation and the whole family is invited. I’m still not sure how it’s possible I even have a kindergartener.
Or (almost) four kids, for that matter.

Hey, you have four kids already sister. That last one is just super easy to care for. Yay for consignment finds and being able to play on the playgrounds again!
See you at orientation!
I went to that very same consignment shop yesterday. Nifty.
Your rambling sounds like all my posts – I enjoyed it! :)
I love consignment! Without it my kids would be naked or I guess wear the same thing every other day.
hey – rambley posts are the best kind!! ;-)
You just reminded me that I really need to clean out my coat closet. I guess it will be there tomorrow though. ;)
