Our Kids of Compassion group hosted a yard sale this past Saturday for the Writebols (http://www.rafiki-foundation.org/ros/Writebol/writebol.html), a missionary couple, who run a school for orphans in Zambia. To go along with the yard sale, the kids hosted a lemonade stand for Aubrey Steen (http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/aubreysteen/createorsignin), a classmate of Allie & Anne Stewart's from the WEE Center, who is at Duke right now undergoing a bone marrow transplant instead of starting Kindergarten at Paine. Due to the torrential rain, the yard sale quickly became a garage sale and surprisingly, we still had a great turn out! The kids had loads of fun playing with each other, in the rain & with all of the yard sale toys. The dads did a great job working the lemonade stand when the kids gave it up to play! Ha! A big thanks to Becky for the idea and to the Bozemans for hosting all of us and our junk (I probably shouldn't call it junk since both me & my kids did some shopping there!!:).
