Catching Up

Kaylea got to have her sleepover despite the threat of snowy weather.  All of the kids were able to make it and all were picked up.  We did have to cancel our trip to Indy the next morning.  The kids came over.  We had pizza for dinner and decorated some cookies, but otherwise, I didn’t plan very much.  The kids had a great time and stayed up late.  They played dress up, spies, and did crafts.  It was definitely the highlight of Kaylea’s weekend.  She was definitely tired the next day as she took a 2 hour nap.

Wednesday night Jordy and I headed to Longhorn for dinner while my mom hung out with Kaylea.  Jordy and I ended up inviting a homeless man to dinner.  It wasn’t the dinner we were planning to have, but it was nice and it felt good to help.  When we got home that night we found out our rental house in Jeff had sold!  Yikes!  We were supposed to move in Thursday.  Life works out and we ended up renting a 2 bedroom apartment near Christian Academy.  They do a 3 month lease.  Thursday the packers came and packed everything we are putting in storage.  Friday, the moving truck arrived at 8am and started loading all of our belonging.  They are now sitting in a storage unit somewhere in Sterling, Virginia.  We won’t see them again for another 60-75 days.

I was worried about living in the empty house for 4 nights, but was happy that Kaylea had some plans for the weekend.  Friday night after everything was loaded, we headed to Beth, Bath, and Beyond to get a few last minute items to make our beds more comfortable.  We had dinner at Zaxby’s.  Then we split up.  Jordy borrowed a card table from the Hamm’s , which will serve as our kitchen table for 3 months. Kaylea and I went to the Jeff rental house to pick up our clothes and items for the house. We were all so tired the first night we fell asleep fast.

I had previously planned a spa day (my Valentine’s Day gift) for Saturday.  Kaylea was supposed to go to a sleepover at a friend’s house, but her friend was sick.  I wondered what we were going to do.  We had a few errands to run after church and we had dinner at Ruby Tuesdays.  When we came back, we played dance/gymnastics and just goofed off together.  We didn’t even miss the TV or toys. 

Sunday, Kaylea slept in.  We made biscuits and gravy and instead of watching TV while she ate, we read 4 chapters of her Junie B library book.  She did some crafts and then we headed to Nana & Pop’s for lunch.  Jordy had to do some work that morning at school so we had some quality time.  Sunday night Kaylea sold Girl Scout cookies with her troop at Walmart.  Jordy went with her and said they did a great job and had a fun time.
