Where does time go?

I can't believe that it has been a week since my last post. It's not that nothing has happened, just been too busy to write. Last weekend Scott's dad and step mom came and stayed in Lincoln. They spent the whole weekend with us and we had a great time. The girls loved the fire works and both of them even held a sparkler! The fireworks here in Lincoln were scheduled for Friday night the 3rd because Larry the Cable Guy was playing here in Lincoln on the 4th. Because of the heavy rain we had on Friday night they moved them to Sunday night. Grandpa bought the girls some fireworks and we too had bought a few. They had a great time watching them even though they were a little scared at first. We also had two girls, ages 9 and 13 stay with us last Friday night for respite. They were a lot of fun even though they were here for such a short time. They left Saturday after lunch. Saturday night we took Scott's dad and step mom out for supper since it was their anniversary. It had been a long time since we had seem them so it was nice to have the whole weekend to talk and have a good time. They brought the girls a tent to set up in the back yard and play in and boy did they love playing in it. It was a two room tent with a divider in the middle and they just kept running in circles around the divider. Both were exhausted by the end of the weekend. Sunday morning an 11 year old boy named TJ come to stay with us for respite and we still have him! He is still here just as respite but we don't know when he might be going back to his other foster home. He is much more quiet than any other child we have had for respite but is starting to open up. We have a neighbor boy who is 9 and him and TJ have been hanging out and playing all week. They have been to the pool, swam in our pool, and went to the movie this morning. He also has the option to go to day camp that last 9-4:30 everyday. I have just been letting him decide if he wants to go and he did go Monday and is planning on going tomorrow. He really likes going and it sounds like they do a lot of fun things there. Tonight we picked up my sister in Grand Island and she will be staying here with us until next Tuesday. It's always a lot of fun when she comes and we always manage to stay busy. This weekend I think we all really want to play in the pool and relax a little. Tomorrow is Scott's birthday so we will have to do something special for him tomorrow night for supper. And since you all know how much I love to cook I will probably just take him out for supper. Keely also has her 18 month check up in the morning and since Haley is here Keely and I will get to go by ourselves. Speaking of Keely and I hanging out by ourselves, Tate went to her first movie this morning at the theater. The neighbor lady took all her kids plus Tate and TJ. They had a good time and Tate seemed to enjoy the movie but was very tired by the time they got home. It was good to just be with Keely this morning. We went grocery shopping at Walmart, did some playing at home, and made lunch for everyone when they got home from the movie. The week has flown by and we are so glad the weekend is almost here. On top of all this business we are also puting our house up for sale this coming week. I know we just bought this house a year ago but we think we have found what we want. Most of you know that we moved here from and acerage with a house that was double the size of the one we currently live in. We do love this house. It is very nice and everything was new when we moved in. We have found an acerage in town and it is almost as big as our old house. We absolutely love living in Lincoln and what we miss most about where we use to live is our amazing house we use to have along with the land. We are just going to put our house on the market and see what happens, it may sell quickly or it may sit for a while. We are going to continue to look at other places just in case we find something else that we like. We haven't made an offer on the other place but aren't too worried. It has been on the market for a year and it is empty. When the time is right we will make an offer. See what we mean by Moore Family Maddness? We love our busy life and it seems like when things do slow down we just find something else to keep us busy! I will try not to go so long in between post next time. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
