Cyndie and I are feeling like we're at least making a little progress at the house these days. Yesterday we pulled out 6 or 8 bushes that were to the left of the front door and pulled out the underlayment that was in that "flower bed"*. We did this while the kids were at VBS. Not only that, but we went over to our friends, the Chapmans, for dinner while they (as well as the Chapman kids) were VBS-ing as well. It was a full evening, but productive and fun!
*I use that term extremely loosely since there were not flowers, only old bark shavings and LOTS of weeds.
It was funny yesterday when we were picking up the kids, our friend Breana who is part of the leadership for the VBS program, jokingly accused us (and other friends whose kids were also at VBS) of all getting together for dinner behind her back while she was taking care of our kids. And then it happened! Funny.
The other fun note from yesterday was that the power was off at our place for 5 or 6 hours during the night. It flickered three or four times over 10 or so minutes, and then went out right as we were going to bed. It was REALLY windy. We actually heard (didn't see it this morning, so it must have been in the middle of the woods) what sounded like a tree, or at least a large branch, breaking and falling. That made Cyndie and I wonder if our kids would be okay if one of the very large trees on their end of the house fell on the house while they were sleeping?! I guess some things you just leave in God's hands.
