Mother's Day and other weekend events

Today is Mother's Day and I am a lucky mom - blessed to have Kelsie as my daughter.  She set her alarm and got up this morning to fix breakfast.  Wayne had already gone to church so she did everything on her own.  Blueberry muffins, coffee and grapes laid out on a plate spelling MOM.  So cute and thoughtful, she did this on her own and worked it out with her daddy the night before.  She made me a card at school and one at church along with the flowers and chocolate she gave me on Saturday afternoon.  Tonight, Wayne and Kelsie are cooking dinner and have not allowed me to do any housework!  What a relaxing day it's been. 

My Sunday Mother's Day Breakfast.  The grapes spell MOM - how creative.
Today we went to feed the ducks at Willow Ridge after walking through the house.
 
This weekend started out on Friday night with a surprise for Kelsie and her friend Allie.  They both love Tim Hawkins, a christian comedian they watch on YouTube a lot.  So, we got tickets to see him at Collin County Community Church.  We didn't tell the girls at all but at the beginning of the week they knew we were going to do "something fun" but they didn't know what.  We went to Chili's first for dinner and then we pulled up to the church.  They were stumped and we told them this was the place.  Their faces were WORRIED but we handed them their tickets with Tim Hawkins face on it and they were surprised and excited.  The show was HILARIOUS!  He is sooooo funny - we were all laughing so hard! After it was over, we purchased his new DVD and got his autograph and a quick pic of him with the girls.  So fun - they loved it and so did we.

Saturday was a glorious day - nothing planned for once and so we slept in a little and then went to friends house for coffee on the back porch.  The kids played and we got to visit and just chill! Saturday night we went on a date to the Silver Fox.  This was our first time to go there and it was DELICIOUS, such a huge treat.  

House news - the house is coming along.  I was so disappointed all week because there didn't appear to be a lot of work going on except Friday and Saturday they got busy bricking but still did not finish yet.  I think they only have about 2 days though and it's been tough to complete because of all the rainy weather we have had.  Well, today we went over to walk through because we hadn't been through since last Sunday.  We were SHOCKED to see they did do a lot.  The walls are textured, most of the mouldings and doors/framing are in, and cabinets and built ins are there.  It is looking so good - I was so excited to see the kitchen cabinets and bathroom cabinets.  Here are a few pics.

The outside brick is coming along.

I will keep you updated on the house progress.  We are 2 months away so a lot has to come together and it should be very fun to watch.  Hope you have a good week!!
