Weekend Events

As I mentioned, we saw Prince Caspian on Friday and we all loved it, including Kelsie but on Friday night around midnight we see Kelsie's flashlight in the hallway. She was having bad dreams about the scary witch creatures in the movie. So, we played musical beds and switched around so someone could sleep in the guest room with her. Poor baby, I felt sorry for her b/c she was truly scared.

Saturday morning started off with Wayne and the guy who bought the Rainbow play structure taking it apart in pieces and loading it on his trailer. They started at 9 a.m. and finished at 1 p.m. and as I suspected, Kelsie was sad to see it go. She got over it pretty quickly once we reminded her she was getting a trampoline and that we wouldn't be taking it with us to Prosper anyway. She had fun taking out glasses of water and helping with little things. She was a big helper inside too as I cleaned, putting up her laundry and packing for Prosper. After all of that, we left for Prosper. The Griffs were in Denton so they came over to see the "farm house" and we went to Frisco to eat. Church on Sunday was good but Kelsie's mind was definitely on getting the trampoline. We had a first impressions lunch after church and as soon as it was over and we got out of town, we went to get the trampoline. We got home in time on Sunday night to put it together and by the time we were cooking out for dinner, she was jumping.
I am including a few pics of the farm house that I took with my phone - I will try and take some good ones with my camera to post. Our friends said it wasn't what they were expecting b/c they were expecting old carpet and gold appliances. It is a nice house with tile floors, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms with a living room, a formal dining room area and a breakfast area off the kitchen. The very best features of the house are the deck on the back of the house and all the trees in the front. It is very peaceful and quiet out there. On Saturday as we were waiting on the Griffs, Wayne and Kelsie hit golf balls while I sat out and watched them with Raider. I enjoyed watching a blue bird and the squirrels - very restful. Right now of course the house is somewhat vacant except for beds and a few basics to live there on the weekends so it's not quite home yet and won't feel that way until we actually move which is projected to be July. We also must get rid of the bees. We did find out that the gigantic bees around the gazebo are carpenter bees. We found out how to kill them and that they don't sting (except the queen). So, hopefully we can get that done the week we are there for VBS.

Nothing new on the house selling, we seem to have several people to pray for that are relocating and needing to sell a house recently. So, we are praying for God to take care of these details as He moves people to accomplish His purposes. Kelsie's last day of school and my last day of work are quickly approaching! YAY! She gets to have a splash day in PE on Thursday and she is excited about that and the fact there is free dress this week. Her last Science test is tomorrow and she is that much closer to finishing out 3rd grade and still has all A's.

Kelsie hitting golf balls - this part of the property is to the side of the house where there is a clearing of trees. She is hitting balls out in a field and then we walk Raider and go pick them up.
