There were many exciting things this week, and a few ooohhhh:) moments. Alice will be arriving on Friday to stay. This would be one of the exciting things. There is lots to do at our end and hers to get things ready for her arrival. We need to fix the room she will be staying in, and get things lined up at both school and church for her. But every is excited for her. Nathan says we need to do something fun when she gets her, perhaps her favorite ice cream and dinner. I'm excited to have another girl in the house.
Saturday we had an extra boy, Kayden, his family were moving so I had invited him to come and help Zachary and Christian. They were in charge of digging a fire pit. Which they did a wonderful job at. After it was done, Justin went and helped them toward the end, and then helped them build a small fire in it. They are all hoping that this coming weekend we can make a big fire, roast some hot dogs, and burn some marshmallows and turn them into s'mores. Kayden did say he would like to be here for that so we shall see if he is available then.
I know many wonderful men, this week two of them did remarkable things in my eyes. The first is my dear wonderful husband, who is always thinking of others. I was working on a board with our last name, Masterson on it, which I was putting the words, "families are forever" across it. Justin saw what I was doing and said he really liked it, but was wondering if we need to do one that says Adair as well as Masterson. He doesn't want any of my children to feel left out as they are Adair's not Masterson's.
The second was when my little brother called me. He was at Home Depot, Jonathan said they had sold their house this week and that his little girls were sad as they had to leave their swing set behind. So he was looking for a new wooden one, that hasn't been put together yet so he can have it shipped to Italy with their other things, where he will put it together when it gets there for the girls. He also got himself a Harley to be shipped also. They leave in 9 days, we are wishing them a safe and uneventful flight.
I also talked with my sister, Amy, I think our cats must be related as they both do strange things. She said that Stinky, her cat, brought a pheasant in to the house today. It was still very much a live. It didn't appear to have any damage, so they caught it and put it in with their chickens, so they can watch it and make sure it is okay. According to Amy the ducks chase Stinky, she is thinking that Stinky is working her way up to them as the pheasant is the same size as Stinky is and ducks are the next size up. If I were one of those ducks I'd start watching my back.
Friday night we invited two couples over for dinner. Justin made his wonderful chili, and I made corn bread to go with it. We were going to play games, but ended up just visiting for a few hours instead. It was great, Justin and Darrin figured out that they were related, and we all shared great stories about how we met our spouse and funny things that happened to us as we were growing up. It is wonderful to have good friends.
Today in primary we talked about what we did as being in the "Service in Secret Club" It was fun to hear the different things that kids had done. After which we talked about our different talents and how it is important to use them to use them, and that you must sometimes work hard to develop your talents. Then we must share them with others, so we can receive more. we ended with the challenge to use your talents to do things in our Service in Secret Club. I will need to bring something for the kids next week.
