Morning

Fridays are my market prep days.  They can get a little crazy.  You would think by now I would have it streamlined.  I do to an extent but I am forever amazed at how different each market is.  Tomorrow is going to be an interesting test.  Tom is out of town for work so the kids will be joining me at market.  Market is also during nap time.  Hmmm. How big of a glutton for punishment am I?  I figure this will be a good test of doing summer market with Bear.  He has been talking about wanting to sell vegetables.  This is as good of a time as any I suppose.  I'll just have to make sure I have the entertainment goodies for little sister.  New crayons and new coloring book should do the trick.  I plan on keeping Bear busy helping me out at our stall.

So back to prepping.  Because of having the kids I need to be extra prepared.  No running back to the truck for a second.  At least with Bear there and since we're in the greenhouse, which means no vehicle traffic, I can send him across the greenhouse to buy us lunch.  One couple there makes the best pulled pork sandwiches.  Such wonderful smoky goodness.  My mouth is watering just thinking about it.  I love that Bear is getting old enough to help out with stuff like this.  He is turning into such a nice young man.

Which reminds me.  He gets to be part of the "lunch bunch" today at school.  This means he gets to have lunch with his teacher and aide because he had what they call a "groovy day" at school.  Basically he was really good and they reward that.  He is pretty excited to be part of the lunch bunch.  The best was that it was Monday and he told me on the way to school that he was going to get a groovy day.  I said, "Uh-huh," and then didn't think anything about it until he got home full of the news that he had gotten his groovy day.  On the flip side though then he had a rough day yesterday.  When I picked him up first thing he did was to apologize for not having a good day.  He had apparently gotten in trouble a couple of times.  He was super tired since he had gotten up at 5 a.m. for some reason.  When he gets that tired he cannot behave.  Tom and I say his brain has fallen out because he acts like there is nothing between those cute little ears of his.  We know better, but when he is so tired nothing connects.

Well, I suppose I should actually do some of my prep work for market instead of procrastinating.  I have several new yarns to set and a ton of photos I need to upload to the computer and take a look at.  It has been ages since I did.  Long enough it will almost be like getting back that envelope of photos from the developer because I don't remember what pictures I took.
