New Carpet and a Garage Sale

Saturday morning, Melinda went to Sister McDaniel's to participate in one of her garage sales. I took the four oldest kids to Barnes and Nobel where Emily and Sarah listened to a story related to Charlotte's Web, and we got that book for her, the first Junie B. Jones book, and a five-in-one Biscuit (the dog) book for Bradley. They're reading so well.

Then we went to ABC (Atlanta Bread Company) for lunch. I had a scare when Emily went to the restroom. We were getting ready to leave, and she couldn't hold it, so I told her to go on by herself. Then I gathered the other kids outside the restroom and waited. After awhile I began to be worried that she needed help so knocked on the women's restroom door, peeked in to find her, but there wasn't anyone in there. I rushed to the main area of the restaurant and there she was, scared and looking for us. Whew!

We also finally got a new area rug for our family room and playroom. The old one was disgusting. Melinda put up yellow caution tape to remind the kids not to bring food or drink in the family room.
