We have had rain 21/last 25 days in March. It is now April 10th, and we've had 2 dry days - fortunately one was Sat. and we had Dan's birthday party here at the house - 9 kids - all had a good time! (Mike and I had hot dogs from our freezer and believe that was the culprit - so I tossed 'em!) We had a "camping themed" party - the kids roasted hot dogs (luckily the kids all ate dogs from a different package!) and marshmallows, made "dirt and worms" for dessert and went on a bug scavenger hunt in the yard - everyone got a flashlight and canteen for party favors - we told stories around the fire until the parents came for pickup...it was pretty neat and "non-commercial".
SO I desperately need to air my house out from all of the sickness - but it is too rainy - I probably need to get to work building an ark, as well! This rain is crazy - I could never live in the northwest!! I think I've headed off this cold from turning into a sinus infection (my greatest fear b/c of the antibiotics..) but the drainage and a little congestion is hanging around - a friend of mine said she had a cold for a full 2 weeks - it's nasty!
I have to birthday shop (Dan's actual b.day is Thursday) - Easter shop, plus my in-laws are coming next week for a visit - so I probably should clean
Mika & I did sort through some clutter yesterday and have some piles for ebay and Goodwill (between dashes to the toilet 
)Remind me of this post this summer when I am whining that it is 100 degrees! Ha!
Love,
Mary
