Kate turned 5 last week and I have yet to blog about her birthday or her party! She had a big weekend! Saturday (last Saturday, 9/7) was her party. Rather than hope the weather cooperates and try to have an outdoor party (yeah, tried that last year and had a bunch of screaming kids running around the house when it was too hot to have the party at the park) we had her party at Jump Zone. They have inflatable slides and climbing structures - it is one of Kate's favorite places. She had a great time playing with her buddies. And of course she loved the cake and ice cream - PRINCESS cake of course!
On her birthday we brought donuts to school for her class. I guess she had enough cake because she chose donuts over cupcakes! Then we celebrated again that afternoon with friends at their neighborhood pool and yet again that evening with daddy. No wonder I was exhausted by the end of Monday! (below she is pointing to the big girl necklace that mommy and daddy gave her for her birthday)
Fast forward exactly one week and we are beginning our transition to our new life in Greenville, SC. Brett flew out yesterday to start his new job today. He told me earlier he has basically spent the day saying hello to all his old coworkers and have a steady flow of people into his office to catch up. Surely he didn't expect to WORK his first day back in Greenville! I still say they should have held a WELCOME BACK BRETT parade. Ha!
Tomorrow he begins the house hunt. Yep, he is house hunting without me. Kinda scary but honestly he's harder to please than I am. After all I bought the fixer on Farmbrook! And after living in the fortress in Frisco it will be hard to make him happy -- good luck to our realtor in Greenville! We are planning to put our house on the market after we find something in Greenville so I may be a single mom in Texas for a while!
And one last thing... We are anxiously awaiting fall. It isn't here yet! I love that the weather guy on NBC here says it is "less hot." Uh yeah whatever it is September 16th and it is still hot! Ah my last Texas summer - wooohooooo!!!!!
