http://www.prefense.com/ have you guys heard about prefense?  This is a new product.  There are so many hand sanitizers out there, and i worry about using them with the children...however, this product is wonderful!  There is no alcohol, so I don't worry about the children using it!  It dries quickly, and I found that there was little to no smell after application.  I truly love this product!

Welcome to our home! This is taken from the middle of our road!  You can see our green house...and if you look carefully, you can see our "bus" in the carport! A front shot of the house.
