Picture book memories

Having an up and down day. Won't post about it; too long.

• Totally unrelated to my day, except for the fact that the boys have been busy making deliveries today. This?
  
  
  
  Is what nine hundred dollars' worth of Scouts Canada popcorn looks like. Further proof that my children are in no way related to me: as a child I think I may have sold, like, a box of petunias for my choir - and my mom probably helped with that. I was painfully shy. My kids? Found out that Scouts Canada offered some amazing prizes the more you sold, and now our entire neighbourhood will be munching on Scouts' popcorn for about a year or so.
  
  
• Another image unrelated to my day. This?
  
  
  
  Is what a near domestic disaster looks like. A few days ago I turned on the dishwasher, walked away, wandered back into the kitchen at a random moment in time (during a rinse cycle) and discovered that several dishcloths in the sink were apparently impeding proper drainage. Thirty seconds later and my floor would've looked lovely.
  
  
• About a foot of snow today. Cubs was cancelled. Predicting freezing rain overnight. Marvelous.

Congrats to your boys! (I was like you--I hated fundraisers. So now I'm running them. The fundraiser school does to raise the budgets for Art, Music, PE and Computers--no, we don't get any money from the district--requires that items either be delivered tout suite or that the family who sold it have a fair amount of freezer space....)

Fingers crossed that the plumbing is easily fixed.

OOps! Hope the dishwasher gets back to normal soon.

Congratulations on avoiding disaster! And congrats to your boys for their popcorn sales.
