We started the weekend with an attempt at getting Hibachi in our hood on Friday night. We walked up to find the place closed and the doors sealed by the dishwasher soap folks. Who knew that getting dishwasher soap back required such heavy handed measures. The power had even been turned off. Talk about a major case of the sads! We headed across the parking lot for Italian instead. The food was tasty but it was kind of a let down after dreams of catching shrimp in the air.
Saturday = early start! My yard sale had been rescheduled for Saturday so I had to get up early and get ready. Considering we were expecting (another) monsoon, I think we got a fair amount of traffic. I even managed to sell enough stuff to make me feel like it was worth my time.

After a futile attempt to get my kids to nap, we headed to the local elementary school for their fall festival.

Then, we made up for our lack of hibachi the night before with sushi!
