All Packed Up and Ready to Go

This weekend, we were in Tulsa packing our little house up for the big move in two weeks. We stayed Friday night through Sunday evening and loved every minute of being in our (old) house. We'll miss it dearly but look forward to making our home in the new house soon. Yay!

We also got to do a little visiting. We had Nancy (our sweet, sweet neighbor) over for a drink on Friday night after dinner. We visited and went out to dinner with The Mathews on Saturday night. And, Fran (Brad's mama) came over Sunday to assist with our busybody (bet you can't guess who that is). Overall, it was a great weekend...we worked hard and played hard too!!

I hardly had time to get the camera out. Here are a few I took throughout the weekend.

I forgot to bring any toys for Kate (what was I thinking?) so she got to play with kitchen utensils for the first time. She liked to bang on the bowl and, of course, chew on everything. When Kate went to sleep, Brad threw a couple of Ribeyes (Brad got to choose the cut this time) on the grill and then Dixie got the leftovers....and she was soooo happy!! Brad and I were talking and we think steak night would be at the top of Dixie's list of "What I Miss About Not Living in a House Right Now".

On Saturday, Kate just busied herself by checking out EVERYTHING we were doing and packing. She found the hat/scarf/glove basket and pulled out a fuzzy hat that Brad's aunt made for me. Kate thought she was pretty funny wearing it around...and Dixie didn't know what to think of her sister's new "hair". Also, notice a common thread in most pictures of Kate: Anything she finds goes DIRECTLY into her mouth...we fished out some interesting things on Saturday. This is why we were elated when Sally offered to keep Kate Sat. afternoon. She took some wonderful pictures of Kate and Molly Kate playing so I hope to share those later. It's hard to imagine that their first playdate was when Kate was 2 months old and MK was 3 months old. We appreciate them keeping Kate busy at their house soooo very much!!! We also had help on Sunday (I know, we're spoiled). Fran drove up to keep Kate occupied while we finished up the packing. Kate had a great time playing with her Sissy, we were able to move about the house freely....and it's ALL finished!! We're so proud of ourselves and we'll be good to go when the movers come!!

The strangest thing happened while we were packing on Saturday. The buyer, his girlfriend, and their realtor showed up at our house UNANNOUCNED to go over the inspection report. I don't know about all of you but we never went to the house we're buying to go over the report. We were there for the actual inspection but not the inspection of the inspection report. Stupid. Anyway, we left the house to take Kate over to the Mathews and when we returned the three bottles (the realtor was drinking the water) below were in my trash can (which did not have a liner in it by the way). So....we saved them for the buyer and they will be strategically placed right in the path of their entrance upon closing. I mean, really, who goes over to a house that isn't even theirs yet and drinks. What a couple of losers...I already feel guilty for our beloved neighbor Nancy. We hope she doesn't have to deal with crap like this from the buyer.


Ok, I'm glad I get to end this post on a positive note!! I got my very first little blogger award. It's called the Great Attitude/Gratitude Award and was given to me by Sarah E. and Jen Mc two of my very faves but it would be silly to give them the award again, I think). Thank you guys for sharing this with me....so, so sweet!! I would like to pass the award on to:

Sherry, Beth, Laurie, Mary, Laura, Dawn, Haley, Kara, and Megan.

While I love reading ALL of the blogs on my favorites list (and then some) and think you all have a great attitude/gratitude, a girl has to have her very faves...so enjoy this little award girlies!!
