Our Bagster finally got picked up this week. We tossed a bunch of stuff in there when we were cleaning up the house, and then it's just been sitting in the driveway since.
There's been a lot of work in the gardens, which means there's been a lot of bug hunting by the kids. It's a pretty good season for bugs right now, with the favorite of course being roly-polies!
During Monica's last choir concert Brooke drew a picture while she was watching. Monica was on the front row on an end next to the pianist. I wish I'd seen this back when I wrote the post about the concert, but at least I caught it ever :).
While we were in Texas last week there was a hail storm in the area. When we got home things all seemed fine, so I figured we missed the worst of it, but throughout this week we've seen signs that things were probably pretty severe. In our planter boxes you can see that the hail left some pretty big divots in the soil!
There was a nice rain storm here this past week. I remembered that I wanted to go see what the water runway looked like during a storm, so I headed over. When I first got there I saw the water rushing in from our neighborhood. I walked around to see the main water way, and it was not nearly so interesting. The water seemed pretty easy going over there though, so I guess they did a good job designing things.
And when I got home I caught a little of the rain there too. What a great house this has been! And no water problems through all the rain the past few weeks. Also, the video would have been shorter, but right when I started it there was a pretty big thunder clap, so I was letting it record but it doesn't come through in the audio very well...
Winry asked Monica if she could take the tape outside, and while she was out there she made a big stick! :) She comes up with some pretty grand ideas, I love the things she does to keep herself entertained.
On Friday we had a photographer coming to take pictures of our house for our listing. Monica took the kids up to Tyson and Tina's house, and I joined them after I picked up Brooke from school. We were attempting to stay away so they house could be prepped and stay looking nice for pictures. My dad, Jerusha and Celeste were there. They had come out for the dance recital, so it was fun getting to see them all. Grayson had a lot of fun playing with Grandpa.
Saturday morning we headed to a park for some morning fun. We took snacks with us to eat there while we played. I was eating some chips and noticed an ant hill in a crack in the cement outside the swing set, so I dropped a few pieces for them to eat.
The girls were both performing in the same recital and Brooke had three dances and Winry had two. This means that they were in around a fourth to a third of all the dances! Here is a link to Winry's two dances. She even had a solo in one of them!
And here are the girls with their aunts after the show! Brooke and Winry's big ask was for Jerusha to cheer loud enough that they'd hear her, and that definitely happened.
After the recital, we all went to Spice Kitchen for dinner. The food was as great as always, and I'll definitely miss it once we move. Hopefully we'll be able to find more great Indian food! Anyway, Grayson used up all his sitting during the dance, and kept wanting to walk around outside. After we ordered, Grandpa walked around with him for a bit, and once we'd finished eating I headed out with him. There are a few statues around the area where the restaurants are. There's a statue of horses, a boy with some dogs and a pocket full of frogs, and this one of a girl with kittens. Grayson really liked the kittens, and even took the time to pet them.
And that's everything I've got for this week. Hope everyone is fabulous. I'm about to head off to the airport for Austin so I can attend the home inspection tomorrow. Life's a bit crazy right now!!
