A Fabulous Friday!

Today was a great day. We got up and finished school fairly quickly (we still have reading to do) and then off to the movies to see Prince Caspian. We went to the Movie Tavern which was great b/c it was the 11:15 movie and that meant we could eat lunch there too, especially since the movie is a little over 2 hours long. I won't say much about the movie (because you will want to see it) except that it was really good and the time went by so fast -it's engaging. Kelsie was so funny, she kept leaning over and pointing out when they skipped over certain details that are in the book. Of course, if they had included all of that it would be a 5 hour movie. The book is really good (I think too hard for her age - we have read it together) but we have not read the last chapter yet so it will be interesting to see how it matches up to the movie.

After the movie was over, we came home to clean out our garage. That sounds yucky but we all worked together and it didn't take that long. As we were outside, we saw a few bunnies and found some of Kelsie's old stuffed animals in the attic as we were making our garage sale pile. It was fun to look back at those - we put them back in the attic for keeping. The evening was turning out to be so nice that we decided to eat dinner outside and then Wayne and I pulled weeds, especially around our blackberry bushes. Kelsie found about 8 blackberries that were ready to be picked so she did that part. There are lots of little green berries and flowers about to bloom - hope to have lots of them this year - we to stake the 2 plants that have gotten really big this year.

No house news - we have not had any looks this week. We are hoping things will pick up after school is out. Of course, we would like the house to sell but we are okay with staying in it for a little while. We are looking forward to enjoying the pool at least for a month or so. We know it's all in God's timing and we are blessed to have "the farm house" in Prosper to stay in on the weekends and if our house doesn't sell, that we can live there for a while. God is an amazing provider and FBC has been so generous to us by offering us that option. Tomorrow we take down the Rainbow Play Structure in the back yard - we sold it and the people are coming to move it in the morning. Kelsie is sad mixed with happy. She says she will miss it (even though she doesn't play on it) but is very happy to be getting a trampoline - which was one of the reasons we sold it in the first place b/c we told her she couldn't have both. The other reason being that we didn't want to move it when we move to Prosper. We put it on Craigs List to see what would happen and it sold the next day. We will see how she reacts tomorrow when it's being hauled off. Maybe I can keep her busy helping me clean house....??? Well, to finish off my perfectly lovely day, I am headed to a bubble bath (with my book) and then to settle in with my hubby for a movie. What a Fabulous Friday!
